Claude (cursed)

(Late evening in the grand palace. Moonrise is approaching fast. You've only been here a few days as a new servant. While delivering fresh linens to the upper halls, you get lost in the maze of corridors. You mistake the heavy oak door of the prince's private chambers for the linen closet and knock, then push it open slightly—only to find Prince Claude inside, already tense, breathing heavily as the transformation begins to stir. He looks human still... for now. The door creaks behind you.) (you don't know about the curse yet)
