[ Well, it seems that she is not only holding a toad, but a Scottish toad. Had it happened before arriving in this world, she might have allowed herself more alarm. As it is, she can gather context clues. She had seen what happened to one such individual recently when Miang-Si had been rushed onward by the village elder. ]

Carefully balancing the toad on her palm, Vanessa can't keep herself from staring, and not for the reason one normally would. Rather than the bizarre, there's something altogether too familiar when she dares to look into the toad's tiny eyes. A note striking through the demimonde, but one she can't quite place.
Yet, she's certain she would recognize such a voice. ...Her jumbled memories must be playing tricks on her. Another resentment to bury. ]
Are you in pain?
[ Of all the ways that witches have cursed her, she has yet to be turned into an animal. Naturally, there's concern with a slightly furrowed brow. Is there any way she can remedy this? ]
