Welcome to Gaia! ::

Not only was it bad enough she was pregnant, but her kids would be part neko and aquatic. Her guild would never let her live it down, how could she be so stupid as to not even look at the signs on the bottle before drinking it. Doing so in her regular job as an assasin would have killed her. How could this be any different?

After a horrified look at Aime Kali looked down at her stomouch again it seemed to be growing. "You mean the htings inside me will have kitty ears?", She said staring.

Sekkai's ears suddenly perk, listening to the woman named Kali speak. Turning around with a bit of a frown, she crossed her arms under her breasts. "Now that's a rather bad tone...What's so wrong with cat people...?" She begins to walk over to the woman, before freezing momentarily and sniffing the air, adding as she comes closer, "They would probably be better at what you do than you are when they grow up!" She was known for having a strong sense of smell compared to other people, even her own kind...probably because of her adventuring days. "You should really be quite proud, miss!" She pats the woman's shoulder in a friendly tone, giving a smile.

((I'm here! I was waiting for iAkumu to post her reply but I'll post again biggrin ))

While Sekkai was talking to Kali, Aime decided she'd had enough excitement for one morning. Sighing, she went to remove the 'red apple' potions from the adventurer's shelf to put them in their proper place with the rest of the fertility stock, hoping to avoid that mix-up again.

As she walked back past Sekkai with her arms full of glass bottles, Aime caught movement near the door leading to the back room and noticed the first customer from earlier that morning emerging. At least, she thought it was him. His hair was streaked with sugary fairy floss colours and...was that a new necklace of some kind, or a collar? Letting out a small nervous giggle, she turned to Sekkai, the potions she was juggling making tiny clinking noises. "Um...so, you managed to help that guy, nya?" she asked pleasantly. Something was a bit odd.

She smiles pleasantly at the woman, nodding. "Well, unfortunately it is too late to reverse it, but is there anything I could do to make it easier for you?" She tilts her head curiously, before she is interrupted by hearing the clinking and Aime talking. Turning around, she gasps, and moves over to help the woman! "Whoa, I've told you not to overstuff yer arms...ya might break something or hurt yourself..."

She looks up and notices the changed man, smiling. "Oh, yes! Of course I helped him. And he will help us too, since he is our newest employee..." she trails off, looking at Aime again. "...are you feeling alright, Aimes?" She asks the woman, concerned...that was a little pet name she called the other catgirl occasionally.

((I was ignored in the back, so thats why I haven't posted. Not to mention a little pre-occupied))

((Sorry Malus! I'm sure no one was trying to ignore you on purpose.))

"Nya!" Aime almost fell over as Sekkai grabbed her. Managing to keep upright, she listened to the other catgirl's kind words, ears twitching as they took them in. Aime relaxed a little, feeling the tight panic inside begin to flow away as the other neko spoke. She looked over at Chris once more when Sekkai mentioned him, noticing the huge size of his belly. Really? They were all Sekkai's? Hpw many were in there?! Aime suddenly felt better. She began to smile again, this time warm and bright instead of wobbly. "Th-thank you, nya. You're completely right. I should have known these things would happen, nya! I'll get back to work"

Aime's royal blue tail swished slightly behind her as she turned around to look at Kali, meeting the other girl's gaze. "Oh, no, that's okay." She replied, more calmly than before. "I really don't mind after all, nya. I just needed time to get used to the idea, nya!" She smiled at the woman, then gave a soft gasp. Aime had just remembered something. Fishing her mobile phone from her skirt pocket, she flipped it open and pressed the keys a few times before turning it around to show Kali. "Oh, if you were wondering what they might look like, nyan, these are my twins in their aquatic forms, nya! You could use it roughly as a reference picture" She seemed to glow with pride as she held up the picture of her treasures, showing Kali what a 'Mer' form might look like.

Mineko and Mizuko were playing in a small paddling pool and had transformed. They possessed sleek, sparkling tails twined with a rim of semi-translucent material which wound around like a candy cane stripe. The 'stripe' ended just before the powerful fins, which were also semi-translucent. The tails melded smoothly from their waists, merging skin and flesh as one.

Their little ears were very long, pointed at the tips and had a leafy design around the edges, like sea dragon fins. Both of their eyes were slotted like a cat's and each child had delicate opaline claws and small cute fangs either side of their mouths. Their soft baby skin appeared to be scattered with different sized pieces of glitter, which were actually tiny scales growing here and there, catching and reflecting the sunlight brilliantly. All of this they inherited from Aime, who displayed these features in her own aquatic form; only, much larger and sharper.

"My sweethearts, nya!" she said.

"Thank you, nyao" Aime looked thoughtful for a moment, then shook her head, closing her phone. "Mm-mm. I don't think so, nya. They shouldn't change you in any way but they probably might cause you some cravings. I don't really know, nya. When I was pregnant I became incredibly fond of sardines with icecream and chocolate, nya" she giggled a little.
