Lena occasionally held normal 5e666cf8ac books, but most of 14df9dc27b the time, he read 1c00d33ec9 erotic novels without titles c7067da373 on their spines.6fe279347e1564d4

But despite being called 91e73709f9 an ogre, the male c31d46957f protagonist depicted in the fc136e1cdc novel was closer to 9ec51b0bf6 a human who just ca5f40161a happened to be named 04a9c4c879 ogre.

However, it was 9474f1eaef just artistic license. In reality, communication with c8cd50e277 them was impossible. Ogres simply mimicked 5ecd8a0436 sounds like parrots 0f55993ee2 because their oral 37b376a851 structure was similar b24162ef4f to humans.1f9025e18f2395b8
