Over 20% of his body was now baby fat. He stank of urine. He was lifted in the air by a woman who he'd known for a little over 15 hours. Said warrior woman kicked a blade made for cleaving demons in two, forged in the heart of a dying star, like it was a Lego piece she'd just stepped on. And aside from the massive shirt hanging over his tiny shoulders, he was naked as the day he was formed.

There was no way in Hells he was going to live this down when he got back to normal. 

If he got back to normal.

[i]Yeah! It's me Riki! Look at me- I've still got the hair. Do I still have the hair? Please baby Vishnu, tell me I still have the hair! Marco works so hard on it at the salon every Saturday![/i]

He honestly couldn't tell. When Parry tried to bring his hand up to check the top of his head, his pudgy fingers landed on his nose. Poor motor control or unused to his adjusted body type? He could deal with the first, but the thought of the second made his baby blue eyes tear up all over again.

[i]Estelle- she had to do this. Drew some kind of charm on my sword, something tied to me so intimately. But how? She only knows how to shrink things, not make them young. Hell, de Lacy would kill for this magic alone! And why would he do this to me anyway, even if she could? She has no reason to- aside from cruel fun, and Estelle may be spoiled but she's not cruel. And if it's someone powerful enough to know how to cast a spell like this, why this spell in particular? I could've been wasted by the trap on my sword. Dead in a heartbeat.[/i]

Whatever the answers were, he was pretty sure of one thing. If Estelle didn't do this, and if there was no way to reverse it, he was well and truly fucked. It took him a solid 10,000 years to grow from Cherubim-sized like he was now into a fully formed and trained Celestial. And even then, he didn't need Pampers.

[i]I can't talk. I probably can't write. And I definitely can't walk. So... how do we communicate and get out of this?[/i]

Parry frowned, his lips quivering as he started spilling over into tears in no time once again, his baby blue eyes squinting shut as his vision grew watery from the crying in Rikive's arms.
