"That could be...magic of any sort always tends to complicate things." Whisteria closed the book and glanced over at Xun. "It is odd that you are so much shorter than even me right now." She snickered. The fact that he was human was not such a big deal as it might have been a few centuries ago. "I'm also a bit surprised that you aren't a woman." Given the potion usually followed physical gender and all.
"As for Cenarius...there is little I can do about that."

"Yeah, yeah." He was going to hear so many variations of that one sentence in the next week that it probably would get old pretty quick. "....It is actually kind of strange being a man, but you did not hear that from me."
Well, he had not been male physically yet. In this life, at least.
"I should survive. I might just smack him in the kneecaps to bring him down to my level." He would not, of course... But the thought was hysterical. "Also, it is strange that I am not a hazard to... everything anymore." He looked down where his wings usually were - and now the only hint that there had once been anything there were the abnormally high slits in his shirt.

"Enjoy it while you can, I suppose?" It would certainly be entertaining to see when he did change back and having to deal with the tail and wings again. That was bound to be hilarious, if not outright disastrous.

"You are expecting I will turn into a one man demolishing crew again, do you ?" He knew what the amused look on the druidess' face was likely to mean, and he grinned. "Tsk... So little faith in me. I could be insulted."
Except that it was clear that he was not.

"Oh, it is likely guaranteed." She laughed. "Just hopefully you won't take out anything important."

"Hmph." He crossed his arms in some over-exaggerated expression of irritation. "We will see."
He finally got up from the stool, but found himself wobbling a bit - Xun Jiang had never noticed how much he actually used both wings and tail for balance, and now that the weight of them was gone, he felt almost too light.
"Anyway... I guess we found our answer." It worked... kind of. "Is there anything I can help you with while I am here ?" The Dragon King had nothing planned for the day, so he might as well.

"That we do." She would have to add a note about it to her book later as well.
"I did not have anything planned aside from finishing this." Whisteria motioned to the separated piles of flowers on the counter. It was not terribly important though that they be finished right away. "Would you like to go for a walk or something?" If they went to the market perhaps they could start looking at baby things. Thankfully Aska was looking after the major thing- the crib.

Well, why not ? "That certainly could happen." He smiled, waiting for her to join him before they headed outside. This was definitively strange, and he still could not help but feel very, very short...
That is, he was at the same height level than most of those gathered in the market. That certainly did count as short as far as Xun Jiang was concerned.

She grabbed her satchel from beneath the counter and headed out with Xun, locking the door behind her. "Anywhere in particular you would like to go?"

"I have no preference." He shrugged. "Would you rather wander the market, or go toward the wildness ?" He had to admit that wandering the market without being instantaneously recognized might be interesting, however.
That, and with today's luck so far, he was very likely to run into Glyph first thing if they headed to a forest.

"The market might be safer for you, wouldn't it?" It seemed Whisteria picked up on his train of thought as it was difficult for her to hide the amusement in her voice. "I could use the help in looking at things for your niece...or we could just be completely distracted by something else." Either was a possibility, it mostly just depended on who was out and about today.

"Depends on your definition of safer, I figure." Xun Jiang grinned, pushing a lock of wild black hair away from his eyes. Really, he was more amused than bothered... Through he expected the shortness would get old pretty quick.
He had no idea how humans lived with being so short, really. Having to look up at Whisteria was... strange.
"I figure that as long as no one mistakes me for Aska..." He teased. "And yes, it would probably be better to start looking early."

"Considering Aska is almost as tall as me." The man really was only a couple of inches shorter than her. "I doubt it." Still she laughed anyway.
"What should we go look at first?" Clothes maybe, blankets too since they would likely be around there.

"Har har. Do not make me get some stilts." It was an empty threat, of course - his balance was precarious without wings as it was, and he was more likely to face plant than to look impressive.
"Hm... For Elik we gathering clothing and blankets first. Some toys." Through Illithor had made most of them, really. "You said Aska was making the crib, yes ?"

When he mentioned the silts she laughed even harder. That would not end well.
"Yes, he said it would be much safer that way." Whisteria trusted him on that fact and besides it would give their daughter something her father had made himself. Her hand brushed over her belly again as it often did when she thought of Aska. "Clothing might be a little trickier than it was for Elik. Since I'm not sure how fast she will grow out of it." Since humans seem to grow up quicker than Night Elves did.
