... Ranma spent alot of time in that particular tree, at least.
"It's not that bad, y'know," Aedrie, drawn out of her hiding from the irate drow goddess, tried to console Eilistraee's future champion/prospective consort. In the tree, the winged child muttered words that young one's should not really know.
Those words made the drow's eyebrow twitch. "Say that again, and I'm dragging you down!" she threatend, just as the rest of the godesses that made up Angharradh arrived, along with the trickster elf.
Eili's eyes narrowed; thanks to her interrogation of Sehanine, she now knew of the meddling of the other gods in her affairs. She was still trying to come up with ways to get revenge on the six gods and goddesses.
Though Hanali and Sehanine seemed somewhat wary of the look the goddess gave them, despite the fact that they were more powerful than her, Erevan smiled at the glare, just begging her to act. He then turned the grin towards the branch that Eilistraee's charge was hiding on.
"Hey, Ranma!" he called out jovially. He had actually helped a bit in the training of the boy, despite Eili's original misgivings.
Ranma's response wasn't filled with the same quality of mirth as the god's was. "G'way, you just gonna laugh," the voice said, in a somewhat higher pitch than usual.
Erevan's grin did not falter. "If it will make you feel better, I've been restraining from laughing for nearly ten minutes." Ranma's snarled response only made his grin wider.
Hanali's hand impacting lightly with his head shrunk the grin. "All right, stop embarrasing the child." She looked up and sighed. "Honestly, that spell shouldn't have worked THAT well."
"With Ranma, anything is possible," Sehanine countered. The silver-haired goddess looked over at the younger goddess. "Do you think it's pernament?"
"Well, it shouldn't be," Eilistraee answered uncertainly. "But, like you said..." she trailed off, her voice followed by a despairing groan up in the tree.
"Like, you're going to have to come down some time," the winged goddess shouted up to Ranma. "Sitting up there won't help, you know."
After a few silent moments, Ranma fluttered down from the tree. A few seconds after the child had landed, Erevan couldn't stop himself from laughing any longer. He also couldn't stop the impact of four different fists on his head, as evidenced by him crumpling to the ground.
From an outsider's point, it WAS kind of funny; not many ten year olds managed to turn themselves into the opposite gender with magic. The only thing that kept the currently female human from crying her eyes out was the fact that she was repeating a mantra about boys not crying in her head. Sniffling, the girl just brushed her now red hair out of her eyes, and stared at the downed god.
Suddenly, she was staring into Hanali's bosum. "Awww, she's just adorable!" the love goddess cried out, much to the embarrasment of the other godesses.
Sehanine sighed. "Okay, Hanali, let the boy..." she paused, not really sure if she should call the polymorphed child that.
"Ranma probably can't breathe," Eili supplied as she pointed out the fact that the girl was struggling to move away. Hanali finally allowed the child to move away.
Aedrie wouldn't let her escape with the last shreds of her dignity, though. "Hey, maybe we should try some dresses on hi- her," she thought outloud. "Not everyday we get to play 'dolls'..."
Ranma just groaned, and hoped that someone would just kill her. She was a guy, dammit!
