Stella feels she has to comfort Korr. She feels compassion.

Stella decides she will comfort Korr. Stella didn't ever think herself having a noble heart, she uses her transmutation magic on people for pleasure or profit without thinking how evil her deeds are. Of course, she doesn't just kidnap people and use them for her experiments but she does performs them on her prisoners, the ones who trespass her territory without permission or those who have wronged her. But Korr is special, and she feels sorry for her.

Stella knows she is a very aesthetic creature and she wants to draw Korr to her like a moth is drawn to light. When Korr was a orc, Stella didn't have much sympathy for his plights. But as korr is now a beautiful woman, Stella feels compassion towards her. And she wishes that Korr would learn to forgive and let go of her past transgressions, and accept that everything has a reason. It would probably serve her well to give Korr the illusion that she is benevolent and kind. Korr might even begin to love her.

Stella slowly goes up to the bed and sits down next to Korr. She places her hand gently on Korr's cheek as she brushes away her long bangs. Korr's eyes widen, shocked by her closeness. And as her eyes meet Stella's, Stella notices the fear and confusion there. But she also sees strength in her eyes, Korr is a warrior through and through. She has already accepted her fate and embraced it with grace, and it makes Stella respect and admire her even more. The two women share an intense stare.

Stella knows that Korr is scared. She also knows that Korr is strong, despite being terrified. She knows that Korr will stand strong and defiant against the inevitable, even though she is terrified. Korr looks deep into Stella's eyes and speaks quietly, her voice trembling.

"You... witch! Why did you do this to me? Why did you turn me into a... a..."

"A lady," Stella finishes softly.

The word seems to have a magical effect on her prisoner. She closes her eyes and shakes her head slightly. "No! I am no lady!" she shouts, pushing Stella's hands off her face. She scowls at her captor.

Stella, undeterred by Korr's anger, reaches for her once again and pulls her closer. She pulls her in a tight hug, embracing her, stroking her long hair.

Korr, never getting physical affection in her life aside from sex, stiffens in her arms. She stares down at her hands, which are resting on Stella's breasts. Korr quickly pulls away, suddenly remembering that her current predicament means that she must not allow herself to show any weakness in front of her captor. She must keep a firm grip on her anger and defiance.

"I demand answers," Korr insists firmly and calmly, hiding her rage. "Why have you changed me? Are you planning to kill me?"

Hmmm, Stella thinks, now what should I tell her about my reason? Stella's mind is racing frantically. If I tell her the truth that I used magic on her in order to turn her back into a plaything for my pleasures, she'll hate me and run from the chamber screaming like a little kid. But if I say that it is because I want to save her life, will she believe me? Or will she think that I tricked her into believing something she shouldn't have believed? Or what lie should I make up to have her believe that her transformation is for her own good? Stella ponders the question for a few seconds before answering.
