"Ah-yeah....."
She looked away, rubbing her arms
"Yeah...sorry, i know now's not the best time for making jokes...are you still cold? Is there anything i can do to help you?"
"Oh-n-no....I-I'm fine...."
".....Tell the truth, I can tell when someone is lying..."
She sighed
"....the truth is, I'm cursed...."
"Anddd that is not what i expected.....please continue"
"I wasn't always like this-...I-I was cursed by a cruel sorcerer-when the sun sets below the treeline, I transform into my true form-but when the sun rises again I...I turn back into a swan...."
"Oh...well that sounds...unpleasant to say the very least...are you in any pain of the sort?"
She shook her head
"N-No....it's-fine most of the time...the worst is when he visits me-"
She shuddered
