Her smile brightened. "It is nice to meet you Jack. And as he says, there is something about you I like and would like to learn a bit more about you if you will permit me." Taking another sip of the hot tea, she waited for his response. She wondered what he was. She could tell he too was like her in terms of having a similar curse. He was sturdy looking with good muscles and a calm demeanor. He couldn't be a boar. Far too stubborn and prideful. Maybe he was a bear. That could be it, though even that didn't seem quite right either.
