Growing Pains [Completed]

[tenshinomakai.livejournal.com]

Character(s): Urd and Genie
Content: After doing some serious spellwork to save a life, a transformed Urd tries to sneak back home without Genie seeing her.
Setting: Urd's house in zone M6.
Time: Week 21, morning
Warnings: None.

When it came to bad days, having your normally dynamite body regressed to that of a child ranked pretty high. Urd had a lot of tools in her arsenal and never had to rely on her sexiness, but she already missed the power of her curves. No one would dare laugh at her the way Timon and the others did if she'd had her real body! Well...they'd laugh, but they'd get punished for it. As it was now, she couldn't even call down a patented Urd Bolt on their heads...unless she wanted to shrink even more.

So she'd finally made her way back to the house she shared with Genie and Yorda. Walking was so tedious! And with her energy levels all over the place, Urd was wobbling on her feet as the house came into view. This was bad...very bad! She needed her alternate source of energy. She needed booze. But there was no way she'd let Genie see her like this!

Urd made her way slowly, stealthily to the front door: so far, so good. She opened the door with focused determination, quiet as a mouse. From there, it was only up the stairs, down the hall and into her room. Somewhere in her potions and ingredients, there had to be a way to reverse this! She closed the door with a quiet click behind her and tiptoed her way to the staircase, quickly looking around her at every second.

After a moment, when the flashy djinn failed to appear, she allowed herself to breathe a sigh of relief. He wasn't here! She sank down on the bottom step, her legs having gone weak again. "Just a little break..." Urd whispered to herself, clutching at the draping folds of her oversized dress.

Just because the goddess had not seen or heard Genie that did not necessarily mean he was not there. Though Urd had failed to find him, he was still present inside the house. After their discussion over the journals regarding her whereabouts she had suggested he go shopping. Maybe it was a tad naïve of him but immediately the idea that they had been running low on things had jumped into his head. That was opposed to the more likely, or rather most definite, alternative that the goddess simply wanted an excuse to have him leave the house. Genie simply allowed the thought to wander over his head while he searched the cupboards and fridge for anything they might have required.

“Hm, everything looks good and accounted for - although, we really could use more milk.” Well, and the fact that all the cucumbers he had left out earlier appeared to have had a bite taken out of them. Genie scratched his head in puzzlement. Maybe that had been what the goddess had been referring to… Although why she would take a bite out of them all of them and then just leave them there was beyond him. He shrugged and carefully collected them before placing them in a bag and back into the fridge. He would properly wash them and salvage what he could from them when he got back. Poncho still needed to go for a walk, the fact that he had jumped right onto the table and walked right into where Genie was working was sign enough. This Lumen wanted, demanded, his attention.

He quietly shooed the feline away, who surprisingly left when asked, and in a bit of a hurry too at that. Genie looked back at Poncho as it rushed into the next room, wondering if perhaps he had been too harsh on the Lumen, but the felines angry hissing quickly lead him to believe otherwise. The djinn dropped the bag of cucumbers he had gathered and rushed toward the sound. It looked as though Poncho had found a rather unexpected visitor… And given Urd even more reason to resent him.

“Urd?” he asked, performing a double take to assure himself he had not just been imagining things. His surprise quickly turned into amusement while he pushed Poncho away from the goddess. “You just can’t stay out of trouble, can you?”
