[ In one of the manors, the one Link happened to visit, it was already occupied. Not by a woman, no, or at least, not by someone who looked like a woman. Floating atop the surface of the water was a black swan, looking quite comfortable, fluffed up and almost indulgent. If a bird could be said to have a personality, it would be one that was... quite pleased with themselves.
Though when Link entered, and slipped in, the bird almost looked away, as if polite, before it settled back into place, looking comfortable.
After a few moments, it made a sort of soft honking noise. Half to announce her presence, and half to chirp, making sound specifically so Link would notice that she (the black swan, not a human being named Akua Sahelian) was there.

The bird stared at him, with golden eyes. ]
