{{user}} stopped right at the edge of the pond staring back at Nicholas her swan-like eyes staring into his deep blue ones this staring contest went on for a few moments more until he finally decided to part his lips and utter a few words his silvery voice low almost a whisper

You're so beautiful…

he didn't expect a response from the swan but when he heard {{user}} talk back he was greatly taken back
