Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tomokazu and Baizou were on the back porch, setting things up for a pleasant afternoon of tea and cookies. Tomo had even pitched in earlier and baked some sugar cookies. "Those girls ought to be out, soon." He said, nodding to himself, pleased how things were arranged.

Baizou laughed as he caught his wife and rested his forehead on hers. "Careful, love. You are jumping for three, now." He teased, ears relaxed as he nuzzled her cheek affectionately.

Tomo just rolled his eyes at them and stepped around the small table to pull a chair out for Cass with a gentleman's sweeping bow. "Seat for you, m'lady?" He offered, smiling up at her with a goofy expression.

Tomo smiled and sat down next to Cass, letting his tail fall out between the back slats. He scooted in and reached for the tea pot.

"I will get it, Tomo!" Baizou interrupted, snatching the tea pot before Tomo could get his hands on it. He reached for everyone's mug as they helped themselves to the cookies. After serving himself, he sat down and smiled pleasantly.

Tomo arched an eyebrow at Baizou's haste and held his mug up. "Bai, I do believe you're up to something. Be a doll and taste test my tea to prove me wrong?" He asked in one of his sweetest voices.

Baizou looked up at Tomo and rolled his eyes. "You are not still on about that magic battle, are you? I accepted defeat with the clothes thing." He murmured, taking the mug. Without hesitation, he took a sip and liquid quite noticeably slid down his throat. He scrunched his nose a little, "Ugh. Would you like a little tea with your sugar?" He taunted. Other than that, the boy seemed perfectly fine.

After assurances from the females, Tomo took a sip, letting the taste linger on his tongue. It seemed all right. "Heh, sorry Bai." He said with a small chuckle.

Baizou shrugged and rested his chin in the palm of his hand with a small smile. "Of course." He said smoothly, sending an innocent wink to Ellie when no one else was looking.

Tomo seemed convinced, but he still picked up one of his own cookies, content to eat it until he saw one of the others eat one of Baizou's. The moment he swallowed, Tomo could feel magic explode inside his stomach and suddenly realized the potion in his tea was indeed, food activated. He looked at Baizou with a deadly smile, "Oh, you sly b*****d." He purred, finding himself quite fairly fooled.

Baizou glanced over at Ellie and smiled, flipping his hand over so he could hold hers in it. "It will wear off by morning." He said, waving a dismissive hand towards the blonde.

Tomo looked at Cass's expression and smiled a little meekly, "Just... remember that no matter what Bai's silly spell does to me, I'll still be the same old me inside!" He assured his fiancee hopefully. At first, he thought the potion was a dud however, he was just seeming to notice that his pants were getting painfully tight. He looked down to see a roll of fat invade his usually tiny hips. The catboy winced as he felt his clothes get tighter as he got rounder. He wasn't dreadfully overweight, but it was enough that it ruined his studly figure quite effectively. "Baai!" He whined as a rosy hue grew on his pudgy cheeks.

Tomo blushed again, losing a bit of his appetite. He fed from Baizou and Ellie's happiness as the redhead fed his wife bits of cookie and stole the occasional kiss every now and then. Cass's silence was almost unbearable until she poked him. He felt bloated and uncomfortable, but at least she wasn't ignoring his existence. He stood up and fussed with his t-shirt, glad that he preferred loose ones to begin with. "I'm gonna go change... and probably head to bed." He murmured, gathering his plate and mug before dejectedly heading back inside.

Louise looked up from his book as he leaned against the wall on the floor. "Evening, Vela." He greeted warmly, hoping she could hear the smile in his voice. He marked his place and stood up, shoving a few of his things out of the way so she could get to her bed without tripping on a random pillow.

((-lazeh color-))

Tomo looked behind him and couldn't help but smile. Her hugs were still just as warm and he knew it. "I love you, too." He replied, setting the dishes in the sink.

After letting Ellie in, Baizou stepped up to his counterpart and couldn't help a, "Now whose clothing does not fit?" His face went serious and he extended a hand. "Truce?" He offered, ears perked.

Tomo gazed at the hand, then nodded, taking it in his own and shaking it. As they released, the spell weakened until it dissolved in his body entirely and he began to shrink horizontally. It continued in this manor until Cass's arms could easily fold over his scrawny waist.

Lou blinked at Vela, but hugged her back. "Hey, is everything okay?" He asked, quite convinced that the sudden contact was a need for comfort of some kind. He rubbed her back slowly, feathers fluffed quite a bit to make room for her arms.
