Welcome to Gaia! ::

Eric smiled back at Mina. Her words definitely got through to his thick skull. "You're right, I know you are, but I guess sometimes I need to be reminded of that. It, she's been good to you, and you've been good to her, so I don't want to think of what you could have ended up with inside you." He separated from her to take off his things to get ready for bed. He had to make a note of getting his own clothes tomorrow, even if by himself while the girls went shopping on their own. A thought ran across his mind.

"We ought to check out Eca's world for a bit, she did say there was more she could do for your armor, and I'm curious to know why does your little girl want the blue crystals next."

"Well I hope not immediately, kid's intelligent, but I hope we can actually teach her things like normal parents. Like talking, writing, spelling." He chuckled at the though of Mina's little infant having better speech than any of them, even rivaling Eca's smarts.

Eric cuddled up to Mina once she got into bed, he noticed something rather interesting about her body. Though her midsection was growing at a rapid pace, the rest of her managed to stay in their original places and shapes, for the most part anyway. Her hips had to widen sometime, but even then, would she still feel this toned and athletic?

"It's amazing how the rest of you hasn't really changed, your legs and arms still feel as fit as ever, but your stomach is the only thing noticeably soft about you. And your cheeks, and lips of course."

Eric nodded and said. "Yeah, I know what you mean. Pretty much the case for that waitress, Diana. Did know how to put her figure to use with that plate balancing trick though. Either way, that's some body type you have Mina, supermom, literally so." He gave a small yawn and began to close his eyes. "Warn us all first when you decide to balloon up like the rest of em."

The next day, Eric had awoken up early and got some things all sorted out, a well needed shower, breakfast for both himself and Mina and mess with her while she slept. To his amazement, Concept grew yet again, but also felt a bit harder when he poked hit. Not the gelatin or rubbery way of before. It would only move but moments afterwords on it's own. It was closing in on giving Mina a spherical shape.

"Aren't you just full of surprises, whats this about now?" He began to wonder.

"Good morning to you too." He chuckled at Mina and her morning antics. Followed her to the table and began to rub her shoulders. "But yeah, you're welcome." He added with a kiss on her cheek. Suddenly, there was a small tremor underneath them, one that rumbled throughout the town.

"Thats the fourth one I've felt all day."

Eric nodded his head. "Uh huh, you did. Eca was in here and everything." He answered her. "So far, I haven't heard the inn or anywhere in the town get into a panic about it. Perhaps its all normal procedure? Eca did recall feeling them before when she was here, but they were lighter than these and less frequent."

Outside, there was a small crowd of town people and local guild members conversing over the tremors, but most of the population was going about their daily lives.

Eric scratched his head and groaned at that jokingly. "Are we really going to handle every sort of issue that happens to the townspeople we meet? What are we, traveling heroes?" Asked Eric, he wondered if this was going to be a common occurrence with them.

"You do have a point..." Said Eric, he wondered when would the make it hard to do this line of work for her. If he knew Eca, she probably thought of everything when it came to that armor of hers. He walked back to the table, picked up the inventory box and sat down next to Mina as he played around with it. "I'm glad you enjoy my cooking, it's been awhile since I prepared a proper meal."
