Chapter 12 - Size

After trying to wash myself as clean as possible without access to any soap, I put on the only piece of clothing I had and covered myself with my fur cloth. Looking at the nude Kareena and restraining myself, I called out to her.

"Kareena, let's go. It's getting darker. Animals will start to come out in search of prey soon. If we don't start moving soon, we might need to sleep between your family herd again."

Turning towards the sheep herd, I saw that they were already flocking together, forming a loose circle around their weak and young with a few sheep climbing up the side of the cliff, which I presume to be able to spot any approaching predators.

"O-okay."

Coming up to the riverbank, Kareena started dressing herself.

"Master. We can go now." After a few minutes, Kareena finished covering herself with my oversized clothes and turned red when she saw that I was looking at her smilingly.

"W-were you watching the whole time?" She asked, covering herself with her hands.

Seeing her reaction, I chuckled. "Mm... maybe. Let's go. It's getting late."

Walking back towards the cave, Kareena followed closely behind me and would suddenly blush occasionally. I could feel Kareena's nervousness and excitement grow.

Arriving near the cave, I remembered that we don't have much food left for dinner.

"Kareena, let's eat first. We'd need a lot of energy for later. I'll go pick a few fruits. Go into the cave first. I'll be back in about five minutes."

"Nnn, O-okay master. I'll go restart the fire again."

Walking around and picking a few apples and berries, I returned to the cave and saw Kareena sitting like a lost child beside the fire she had restarted. Her naturally pink cheeks turning a shade pinker when she saw me.

Seeing her being so cute, I gave her a kiss on the forehead and sat beside her.

Sitting down laying down the fruits I picked, before I could say anything, Kareena suddenly crawled onto me and sat in between my legs with the back of her head leaning onto my chest as she was half a head shorter than me.

"Eh? Kareena?" Surprised for a moment, I saw that Kareena's ears were bright red.

Feeling the abashment from her core, I smiled and wrapped my arms around her waist, bending back a little to let Kareena lean more comfortably. I felt her fluffy long hair on my chest cushioning her body.

"Haha, you were blushing this whole way back just to do this?" I whispered softly, as her ear was right at my chest below me.

"W-well, skin contact is one of the ways humans show affection, right? I... j-just got a feeling that you would like it if I did this." Kareena said, turning her face away.

"Yes. Well, not all humans, but I prefer to show affection like this. Hehe, thank you, Kareena. I wanted to do this too, but I thought maybe you'd have to get used to it first. I guess you read my mind.... And maybe you did. I like this." I said, feeling the edge of my mouth curve upward slightly.

"N-nn, I don't mind doing this for you, master. L-let's start eating now." With reddened cheeks, Kareena took an apple from the pile of fruits I'd laid down.

Giving her a peck on the head, I also started eating and focused my attention on Kareena.

Looking at her red ears, I smiled. "Kareena, you blush so easily. Your cheeks are bright red right now. It looks like you can't control this form properly yet. I love it so much when you're flustered. You look so cute. I can't have enough looking at you." I chuckled while looking at Kareena's crimson cheeks buldging as she was chewing.

Hearing what I said, I saw that Kareena's nape also started getting rosy. "I-I'm just getting used to this human form. I-it feels very different from when I was a sheep."

"Mhmm, how comfortable are you now in this form? How do you feel about it?" I asked as I was eating into half of my apple.

"Nnn, I love it... Umm, b-but the only problem I have is that.... uhh... umm, m-my b-breast feels a little heavy, master. m-my back is starting to hurt. I-Is this normal?" Kareena said while wriggling her back on my chest, and I felt that she was embarrassed to tell me this.

Hearing that, I looked from behind at her sizable breasts that were being highlighted as she was stretching. "Haih, with the knowledge you just got, you might be a little embarrassed to tell me about these kinds of stuff, but you don't have to be shy about telling me about your problems, Kareena. I'm your husband, whatever problems you have, I'll help you try and fix them. But it's good that you're cautious about telling people your problems. And I think this problem is pretty normal for women. Your chest is a little big, right? Your breasts are making you hunch forward?"

"Y-yes." Kareena answered and stuffed her face into her food, and also felt a hint of contentment from her soul core.

"Mmm, that's a problem most women have. I could cut the rabbit skin into a long cloth and try making a bra for you that'll put some of the load you have onto your neck." Looking at her from the back, I thought of how make a bra that would carry her size.

"...A bra? What is that, master?" Kareena asked while her cheeks were bulging from the big bites she took.

"Umm... I'll show you tomorrow... It looks like the energy was able to transfer less knowledge than I thought. I'll teach you everything that you'll need to know. You should try to develop a way of thinking. It'll be more helpful to you if I teach you rather than transferring it directly."

"But let's not think about those right now and quickly finish eating. I'm not in the situation to think right now."

"Eh? Why?" Kareena turned her head to face me.

"I mean, can't you feel it?" I tightened my left arm around her.

Pulling her closer, Kareena jolted when she suddenly felt something poking her back.

"M-master?!" As if she was electrocuted, Kareena stiffened, and steam was practically coming out of her head.

Seeing her reaction, I chuckled and blew on Kareena's nape. "Calm down, Kareena. How are you excited for later, but get flustered just from this? Hahaha. Let's eat, Kareena. I'll take care of you later."
