Oh! So now there's a whole nation for them. That's quite nice, actually! It's great to meet people who are different from yourself, but also important to have people you can relate to.
[Outcasts don't have easy lives, to state the obvious.] If there's ever a chance to show me more, I'd very much like to see some of your home Temenos.
[Oh but it's her turn now.]
Yes, actually! So, Gerard is a prince, but he was cursed by a fairy when he was a little boy to become a frog, because he was "misbehaving" or something. [She rolls her eyes and speaks with a petulant ire.] As if that's a reasonable cause to ruin a little boy's life. Anyway, he had to be a frog for several years, and the only way to break the curse was with True Love's first kiss.
Which he got! And then, later, his marriage started falling apart so he...is becoming more and more froglike. Just man-sized this time.
That's a sort of running theme among us, actually. Undue punishment and curses.
