She is very cute in this form, after all.“If I may, my lady.” You cut into the conversation. “Would you mind if I ask what’s cut you in half like this? A potion gone wrong, or a spell backfire, or some resentful halfling’s curse..?”
“Hmph.” Sigrid casts her glare back to you. “I need you sworn to secrecy on this first, boy. It is of the <span class="mu-i">utmost</span> importance that my appearance like this remain a secret of the chapel.”
“Of course, master. You’ll have it on my wand. Or my head, if you’d like.” You salute. Your master shuffles about uncomfortably in her gambeson, her burl staff held tight to her chest before she begins again.
“If you’d <span class="mu-i">insist</span> upon it, I was born a halfling, not a human. My human body is for work.” Her words are low and vague. “But, as you can see, there’s a problem here that we need to rectify.”
“O-oh. I see!” You nod. You’ve not once heard of a great witch or wizard halfling before. “Well, if you must know, master, I don’t think being short is too bad. You’re cute in this form. Like a snail of some sort, or..”
Your lady gives you a wordless look that indicates it’s best for you to cut that thought short.
