Raphael watched, amazed, as Lamia's persona completely changed. Had he not known her, he would have thought her a different person. Her being that good at assuming a cover would make things a lot easier and help prevent suspicion.<br/><br/>He smiled at her, "That was incredible Lamia! From what I can see, there should be little difficulty being in the village considering how good you are at acting. Your ideas for the changes to the story are also quite good. A curse definitely sounds more realistic than a mysterious disease. The fact that your curse is caused by demons should help prevent any suspicions that you may not be quite human. After all, what demon would live with humans and dislike other demons? I hadn't thought of that, but if the curse may turn you into an animal, it could provide a great alibi. It would odd, even for a curse, so perhaps we can mention that an unlikely side effect of the curse may be occasionally turning into an animal? It would show how turning into an animal would be rare or not happen at all. It also could be good to say that you would not turn dangerous if you turned into an animal, but would be harmless. That could prevent some panic if you turned into an animal that they find scary.  Anyways, I'm glad you are happy about this cover story. One thing I just thought of is how much time would you want to spend with your animal friends. A small part of each day? More? Less?"<br/><br/>As Raphael finished speaking, he noticed that they were close to the village. It wouldn't be long before they were there.
