Empress seemed to be thoroughly enjoying the awkward interaction unfolding between Alyssa and Aaron.
One of them was reeling from the terror of a life she had been certain had ended the moment the spatial shift swallowed her whole, and the other was struggling to come to terms with a change in height that defied every law of nature he had ever known.
It hadn't even been ten to fifteen minutes since he had placed her in the tea, and she had nearly doubled in size.
How was that even possible?
Would his own height increase if he took a dip in the tea as well?
Aaron was fighting the very strong urge to ask the Empress whether she had an entire pool of this magnificent tea sitting somewhere in her backyard, because a change this dramatic, this abrupt, was nothing short of absurd.
When in doubt, ask the genius.
He glanced quickly at the Empress and silently pointed at the hugging koala clinging to his forearm.
