Episode Title:
The Requesting Circumstances of the Late-Blooming Orc / The Monitoring Circumstances of the Egg and Big Sister
Episode Description:
The Requesting Circumstances of the Late-Blooming Orc: Glind, an orcish craftsman, asks Fennel's help in finding a girlfriend. Fennel arranges a blind date with Viola, who agrees but makes Fennel suffer first. As her obsession with Alyssa comes first, she decides she and Glind can only ever be friends. Fennel pushes Glind to not give up, selfishly hoping if Viola takes a lover, he can get closer to Alyssa. Viola overhears this and feeds Fennel to an elf-eating monster. Glind worries Viola is too scary to date.
The Monitoring Circumstances of the Egg and Big Sister: Alyssa agrees to babysit an egg belonging to the Lizardkin couple Gita and Malak. Phoenix elects not to be involved since egg-laying species are sensitive about who can touch their eggs, so he instructs Viola to do her best as a big sister. Since unhatched babies do not require feeding or cleaning, Viola settles for talking to them. The parents return with a gift, an ostrich egg boiled in a hot spring, a sort of traditional Lizardkin joke. Alyssa invites Fennel to supper, but his romantic dreams are dashed when he falls into Viola's teleportation trap and is fed to the elf-eating monster as revenge for the blind date.
