...humans were<em>weird</em>... all she'd said was he made an attractive futanari, as attractive as when he was a man even!  Strange little mortal beings, with their strange little oddities...  still, the King seemed to enjoy the compliment, the wizard and priest too for that matter.  The two with the loathing in their eyes ere gone soon though, thankfully, leaving but the captain of the guard and spymaster - the former shocked at her words and the latter amused wholly - with them as well.<br/><br/>"You're welcome milord, I try what I can; this 'Common' tongue is not one that I grew up speaking, and gives me difficulty at times, but I was intending an honest compliment nonetheless." she responded with a smile, happy to have - in her mind - amused the king fully.<br/><br/>After the brief explanation and tertiary debate, she took in the information, and sought to respond...<br/><br/>"So... a new star, suggesting a malevolent new god or goddess... a ritual or - let's face it - an artifact that has gotten out of hand... and then the prophecies of four seers asking for my assistance..." she repeated as a summary, thinking aloud "Personally, I feel this is too localized and comparably insignificant a thing to attribute to a deity as a whole, but the vast majority of rituals would not have so large an effect... artifacts are possible, but which one i would not know... what it is *clearly* boiling down to is that we need to find leads, information, but as it stands I am stuck between a potent, highly secretive or ancient ritual, a demigod or the chosen of a greater deity, or the artifact as you feel may be the case milord... but even still, I can't help but wonder 'WHY this effect' moreso, regardless of the methods used in it's attainment..."<br/><br/>"As for why me... perhaps it is my being born a fae-drow, blessed among the blessed of Eilistraee and all being futanari from birth that grants me some currently unknown benefit, or perhaps it's my connection to the fae as a result that will give me unique insight, given the differences in the minds of the mortal races and the immortal fae.  In truth, four seers with the same message must have something, but the fact that they called this a 'blessing' and a 'curse' both makes this... all the more interesting..." she said, pausing to think once more, shifting from one foot to the other, side to side "What would you have me do milord?  How do you feel that I may be of use in discovering what it is that effects this land?"<br/><br/>She made a note to not describe it as a 'curse' or a 'blessing' from there on; she certainly didn't see anything wrong with it, preferring women and other futas to men most greatly.  Before she left, she needed to make sure to provide the tips to the king, and to the captain of the guard most assuredly.
