Specimen, by Elleth

Idhlinn's brow furrowed. "You expect gratitude."
The hunter's face crumpled in dismay at her tone, not the obvious joy he had expected. The carcass he had brought dropped to the floor with a clank of armour.
"I am grateful," she said quickly, nodding. "I was assuming everyone believed I spoke in jest. Put it on the table."
That done, Idhlinn stripped the creature."Interesting. I hoped for a male specimen." The hunter, a hand on his stomach, fled when she set the scalpel on the orc's chest for the first incision, humming, and fondly glanced at her dermestid jar. "Soon."

no subject
I found her reaction to the hunter ( "you expect gratitude") interesting, for some reason. Idk. It seemed like a strange reaction.
She's ridiculously strict and exacting on everyone including herself (barring rare indulgent moments like the one above), and I think sometimes expects others to be able to read her mind, so to have a hunter come in with a dead orc of course was a good thing in her book, which she says he ought to have recognized without having it spelled out for him. "Normal" is different, but she's fun to write.
