A new year and a fresh start

[stockingfeats]

Yes, it's that time of year, time to set yourself to a strict regimen of self-improvement and wild optimism about your own sense of discipline. Whether it's a plan to eat 5 fresh fruits and vegetables a day, to be more emotionally honest, or to stop letting that demon in your head use your body to go on murderous rampages, declare it before one and all.

Then don't let anyone discourage you from it, or listen to anyone who might tell you that it's pointless. People are always growing and changing.

If... you don't mind me asking, I think there was something about a curse? You don't have to talk about it. [A beat, and then more honestly:] I'm just overly curious sometimes.

Ah, yes, about that.... [He looked a little uncomfortable before he went on.] I was cursed into this form as punishment for offending a fae. I have to find someone I can love and have them love me back in order to break it.

[springgirl]

Shit. I mean-- I know fae can be pretty... vengeful. Spiteful. Or they seek to teach lessons however they see fit. I got lucky with the one who actually acknowledged me.

[A pause, as she hesitates before continuing. Expression softening.]

They must've thought people would be afraid of what you look like. I know it probably won't mean much, but I'm not scared of you at all. I'd even happily talk to you more, if there's a possibility that you'd want that too.

She was at that. She cursed me, my servants, and even the whole castle when I refused to let her in during a winter storm. She was disguised as an old beggar woman and I didn't realize the test that was being put before me.

[A decision that he'd been regretting ever since.

He did smile just a little at Cora's kind words.]

.....Thank you. It means a lot to hear not everyone is afraid of me.
