“Oh come on,” I said, beginning to lose it. ”I cannot BELIEVE you cannot believe I cannot believe you....” I could hear my own voice shouting in fury, but I couldn't stop myself, which was a big mistake. We were approached by an Orgrimmar guard.
“Ok madam, step away from conversation now. Do you have a license for that repitition?”
“Um no,” I mumbled, wondering if [Feign Death] would work.
“You know the Warchief has outlawed this sort of argument. It uses up unnecessary time and energy that could be spent in... other stuff. Useful stuff.”
I nodded miserably.
“She started it,” said my former friend. “She couldn't believe I believed she was dating Gamon. It's not MY fault her guild realm-changed without telling her.”
“You're dating Gamon?” asked the guard excitedly. “Is it true what they say about Tauren males? And can I point out that threatening a guard with a crossbow is a really bad move. Particularly as you can't attack me. Unless you faction change.”
“Oh, sorry.” I said, lowering it at once. “I am not going out with Gamon.”
“He said you had a date the other night,” said Urtharo.
“I sat at his table because there was no other room,” I said.
“She had a date with Gamon?” said another guard, joining us. Soon a crowd of guards gathered, every one of them wanting to know whether it was true what “they” said about Tauren males.
Some time later, with not one of the guards believing me, I stumbled away. When I said it could never be worse than it was, I really had believed it. And yet, here I was, barely an hour later, and it was already worse.
I decided to make my home somewhere else. Undercity? No, too depressing. Thunder Bluff? No, full of Gamon's friends and relatives, and besides there was nobody there. Silvermoon? With my luck even Daddy had heard I'd had a date with Gamon by now. I was a laughing stock all over Azeroth. I briefly considered Shattrath, and Dalaran but dismissed the first as too smug and the second as too wizardy.
Then it struck me that Urtharo had said something significant. I struggled a moment to remember it, then i pulled it from my memory as easily as pulling something from another something, but only if that's easy, otherwise it wouldn't be. Oh yes, that was it. What DID they say about Tauren males?
