A few seconds passed before you noticed something odd. Your head was sliding down her body even though neither of you were actually moving. Your assumption that she was growing was shot down immediately by the fact your feet were quickly rising up from the floor even though your rear was planted on the couch.
In a matter of seconds you were half your original height and having trouble keeping a proper hold of Anemone. The raven remedied your dilemma by lifting your shrinking form from cushion and placed you in her lap so that your feet pointed towards her crotch. Anemone then leaned over, watching with those caring brown eyes, as you reclined on her feathered thighs. From what you could tell you had stopped shrinking at about a foot tall.
"Wow." was all you had to say as you marveled at the black bird's iridescent plumage and huge size compared to yourself. Anemone rested her arms on her knees as she hunched over you, bringing her dark beak within arms reach. You got to your feet and began to rub her bill as you lost yourself in her adoring eyes, trusting that the raven would keep you safe and could restore your height. Anemone suddenly knocked you out of your revere when her tongue gave you a long lick in return for your affection.
You wiped some of her saliva off your face before you spoke up. "You know your beautiful, right?"
"Your just saying that 'cause you're bite sized now." the raven teased, the corners of her beak curled up into what was certainly the biggest smile you've ever seen.
"I can take you!" you yelled in mock challenge as you leapt up and latched onto her beak. The titanic bird chuffed at your antics as she slowly sat up, taking great care to not drop you. When her head became level you crawled up to where the few dull feathers on top of her beak met the glossy black ones between her eyes, making sure you didn't stick a hand or a foot into one of her nostrils as you moved. Curious brown eyes crossed, watching as you straddled her bill so that your hands were free.
"Can all the animals shrink things?" you asked as you scratched her forehead.
"Nope. I think I'm the only one on the farm who can manipulate size." the proud bird said, bouncing you slightly as she spoke while relaxing on the sofa.
"Well, aren't you special." you teased before climbing on top of her head. "So all of you transform at night?"
"We can change between forms at night if we want too. In the morning though, if we're like this we change back automatically." the raven replied as she lifted her left hand and carefully picked you up off the top of her head. Her scaled talon lowered you onto the couch beside your forlorn cheese sandwich, reminding you that unlike your big friend, you still needed to eat dinner. It was fun being small, but you needed to be a lot bigger if you wanted to eat the sandwich without making a mess.
"Anemone? Could you put me back to normal? I still need to eat."
"Sure little guy." the smiling raven said as she rested her scaled palm gently on your head, initiating your growth instantaneously. You closed your eyes and focused on Anemone's touch in the hopes of preventing any vertigo as the world shrank around you. As you grew you felt her hand move from your messy hair to the side of your face, prompting you to lift your right hand to cradle hers against your cheek. As your feet reached the floor something wet tickled your nose, causing you to open your eyes. Anemone's caring face was in front of yours, the tip of her pink tongue sticking out of her beak.
Without thinking you leaned forward and kissed the raven.
