[ Link spotted the swan when he first came in, but it was only a glance, with a passing thought to himself about how he's never seen a bird like this in Kenos before. Then again, he is still new to Highstorm... and who would blame any of the local wildlife for being drawn to the springs during the winter cold, just as people were?
It's after he is undressed, submerged in the water, and selecting the fireplace mantle as his spot for the day, that the swan calls out suddenly. Almost as if it were... calling out to him? Looking at it again, a closer look this time, he sees that it's staring at him. Huh, that's weird. And the longer he looks, the more he notices how unique the creature is. Golden eyes, coal black feathers... he hasn't seen a creature like this anywhere in Kenos before, not even Alenroux.
He gazes back at it, thinking, and then wades back to where his clothing and belongings are neatly piled along the bank. After rustling through his pack for a second, he pulls out a fist-sized item and peels its wax paper wrapping back to reveal a small roll of bread. Pinching the corner in his fingers, he tears a small piece off, looks out at the swan, and tosses the scrap towards it. ]
