The Story of little Katy 4#

The next morning was coming, and it was a relief to sleep in a real bed for a change. Even if I had to share it with Katy. But to be smaller was beneficial, because I don't need so much space. The second we woke up, Kathryn was starting to show me the college. The building was actually very impressive. Maybe those mages weren't as bad as I thought. At least their interior design was decent. But when Katy told me, we now would go to the garden with the alchemy lab, and she was bringing me downstairs, right underneath the soil, I was surprised.

"What's the point of a garden underneath the earth?", I asked, confused.

"It's a subterrarium. Not a garden, I told you! There are many mushrooms, mosses and plants only growing here. And maybe some of them can help you.", Kathryn explained, even a bit annoyed.

"What? Does these planty-boys have something to hide down here?", I joke, while laughing.

"Very funny, Garet.", the ashblond sighs and brings me to the laboratory right next to the garden. I mean subterrarium.

My little silly mood was instantly changed as I saw her again: Victoria. The blond, tall mage was already waiting for us at her alchemy lab, her assistant Fiona with her.

"Good morning.", Vic greets me, makes it feeling she already forgot about Katy, before adding hastily: "...both of you!"

"Hello.", I pressed out, nearly whispering. Damn, why I'm shy now? I was never shy in my life before. This goddamn gruel and its shrinking. Well, at least my point of view while standing in front of Katy and Vic was good, while the checkup started.

"Garet, give me your hand please.", Victoria starts, and even as she seemed you enjoy it, she was having a professional look while examine my hand. But I certainly wasn't professional, and I was sure to get red as a Tato while she was holding my hand.

"So, this started after you were in contact with some substance, yes?", the mages asked me, before little Katy was explaining.

"Yes, a green one, down in a draugr infested cave. He inhaled it and started coughing badly, before blacked out for a minute or so. When he stood up, he was smaller. And some hours later, when he coughed again, he shrunk to the state he's now."

"I could explain this myself.", I said, a bit annoyed, before Katy was giving me a sorry face.

"Okay, that's interesting. How tall were you before this started?", Victoria asked, thoughtful.

"I was 1,92 m (6,3f)."

"Hm, let's see how tall you are now.", Vic said before releasing my hand and looking at her apprentice: "Fiona, could you get me the measuring tape?"

"Yes, ma'am.", the little girl mentioned, and the measurement begins. Now I was only 1,60m (5,2f) tall.

Surprised Katy started after the measuring: "So he shrunk more than a foot?"

"Looks like it, yes.", Vic answered, before adding: "I'm sure to help, if I only had some of the substance he was exposed too."

"Oh, I can help with that.", Kathryn smiles, pulling a small but green gruel filled flask out of her belt.

"When were you getting this?!", I asked surprised, while the flask was changed between the two women.

"While you were blacked out?", Katy explained apologetic and looked down at me.

While shaking my head with visible disappointment, Victoria was getting encouraged.

"That's great! Looks like not all of my teaching was forgotten. And don't be mad on her, Garet. She probably saved your precious inches with that.", the blonde said, before looking again on Fiona: "Good, Good. We take some blood from you, and then I go right away on the potions. I will make one for the both of you, just In case. When you picked up this stuff, you were as exposed as Garet. Fiona, can you take the blood sample?"

"Of course, ma'am.", the small apprentice called, before the unavoidable happened. I started coughing again. The rumbling and the pain set it again, and therefore the shrinking. As the attack was fading, I was not the only one shocked by how much I shrunk. Before the coughing, I was tall enough to reach Katys shoulder, but now my eye level was on their stomach. But while little Katy was shocked and worried, Victoria looked more thrilled and interested.

"Garet, are you fine?!", Katy asked in a hurry while her worried eyes examine me.

"How often will you ask this? I'm fine.... beside the fact that...", I started, feeling how my confidence was fading like my size.

"... that you shrunk again.", Victoria completed my stumbling sentence while holding the measuring tape again next to me: "Hey, Fiona. I have good news for you. You're not longer the smallest here."

"How tall is he?", the apprentice asked, ready to write everything down in her notes.

"1,40m (4,6f).", the blonde quotes short before looking down on me with an interested face.

If the coughing and the pains that come with it wasn't enough. The embarrassing to shrunk right in front of those women was the worst. At least Katy give's me the feeling of not degenerating, as she was holding my shoulder to give some protection. I know Victoria was trying to look professional, but she always looked like she was starting to laugh. Or was it something else?

Anyways. Fiona was taking a blood sample, before the checkup ended.

"Okay, that's all of it. I will start with the potions right away. I think they will be finished by tomorrow.", Victoria explained before adding with a nervous but interested face, right to me: "Oh and Garet, before I forget it. Could you come later to the medical room? There are some more tests I need to make when the first samples are done."

"Sure.", I answer with a smiling face, while I don't even know why I'm doing it. I wasn't really after more 'testing' on me. But I couldn't deny anything this beauty wanted from me.

Back in our room, I had to get rid of my armor. As you could image, it was not shrinking down with me. Even my shirt and the trousers were only holding because Katy helped me with fixing it. Goddamn. The last time a woman twice my size helped me to get dressed was my mom. But I have to say that Katy was very aware of the fact that all of this was uncomfortable for me, and she was trying to make it not worse. She was really a good friend.

"Soooo.... what's about your date?", she asked with a hinging smile after we dressed me up properly.

"My date?", I asked, confused.

"Coming to the medical room? Oh, c'mon Garet! Can't you see it? She wants a date with you!", the ashblonde explains while nearly laughing.

"She wan'ts a date with me... At the medical room?"

"Okay, I admit that's a bit awkward. But it's Victoria! I know her. That's exactly the weird stuff she would do, while in love."

"You think she...?"

"Yes, I do. And I know that you are too.", Katy smiled, coming down to me to fix my collar: "I've seen how you both looked at each other when you were first meeting."

"Yeah, but... look at me!", I object silent, before Kathryn stood up again and looks down at me, reminding me of my new, shrunken self.

"You're small. Yes. And now? She saw you shrunk and asked you AFTER that. She doesn't mind, can't you see it? She likes you, besides this fact. Come Garet, you want this cleavage, do you?"

After Katy mentioned Victoria's bust size, I started stuttering like I was caught looking through some girl's window as she was changing clothes. But Kathryn only tried to get me out of my shyness, as it would seem.

"Oh, c'mon! Didn't you think I saw them? Hell, if I was into women, I would date her for those things! She's a nice, intelligent and beautiful woman. And you are a stubborn, bad jokes making vampire hunter, but your heart lies on the right spot. So, get out there and get this girl!"

"Well, then... looks like I have myself a date.", I admit after Katys encoring but weird speech, before she said: "That's what I wanted to hear!"
