Finally taking a hint, and given a (slight) reprieve from shrinking further, Roy manages to compose himself while looking up and studying Susan.
"Sorry, it's like she said," his voice chirps in a reed high voice. "This has just been a bad, accident prone night, you know?"

"Oh I do." Susan said, her voice unnervingly smug. "So tell me Gretchin, what's your cousins name?" She asked. A bead of sweat ran down Gretchins forehead as she tried realized she hadn't gotten the guests name. "It's uh...." Gretchin said, trying to think of a name.

"It's Roy, but she keeps calling me Ronald." 'Ronald' shoots Gretchin a dirty look. "She never really caught on after I grew up (the FIRST time) and wanted to go by something else." Even as he finishes, he tries to hold back another spurt of growth loss but he's wavering at double and single digits, his pants staying up only by the grace of his left hand...

"That's right. Of course it's been a while since we've seen each other...And you know how I am with remembering names." Gretchin said with a nervous smile. Susan looked at them suspiciously before nodding. "Well then Gretchin, help your little cousin 'Ronald' find some clothes that fit." Susan said. "Afterward either take him to his room or have him help you clean up the mess he made." She said before turning to leave.

When Roy lets out a breath next he starts to shrink rapidly. Gasping at the fact, he falls into his clothes, swimming in them at age six with gaps in his teeth and looking gangly even now. "Um..." he looks up for Gretchin, not too proud to ask for some more help..."

"Come on you." Gretchin sighed as she knelt down and scooped him up in his oversized clothes. "Lets get you into something that fits...You weren't one of those late potty trainers right?" She asked, carefully making herway through the plants as she held him against her chest.

"NO." Roy huffs, though he starts to get worried anyway as his shrinking is at a crawl now, but still hanging around. "Um..." he blushes, feeling more teeth either go baby or missing... "How much further am I gonna shrink? An how long's it gonna last?"

"Given how long its been it shouldn't be much longer." Gretchin said. "I just hope you don't end up any younger than 4." She said as she moved slowly through the leaves Roy had seen when he first entered the room.

Funny, Roy could swear he was getting to that age, but doesn't ask why it would be a problem. He tries to get a feel of where he is, but in his tinier mind, everything's starting to blurr... "But I said I drank some... you said that was bad." he whines lightly...

"Its bad because drinking the water and soaking in it have two different effects." She said. "Soaking makes the waters effects temporary. Drinking it means the effects will last a lot longer. Drinking too much could turn you into a newborn, or worse." She said as they finally made it to the door.

Uh oh.
Roy shudders some, and not because he's cold. "Um... how much drink is too much?" he says, his voice sounding even younger...

"Given how old you were when I found you crawling out of the water, about 3 or 4 mouthfuls. Why do you ask?" She asked, looking down when she realized he felt lighter.

Roy feels himself curl up a bit, his body dwindling into a toddler state. And then it finally stops. He hiccups in response. "Um.....I's in trouble?" he says, trying not to cry, which feels like it comes easier now...

"No no, please don't cry." She said, openning the door and looking around worriedly. "If Susan finds out your this young she'll take you away. Her and some of the maids wish for children to raise, and they have no problem using stuff in this place to erase your memory." Gretchin said in a hushed tone as she walked down the hallway quickly, almost jogging.

That gets him quiet. "So what now then?" he finally whispers after a moment, having tried to see how much of his body he still controls. Not as much as he'd like, that's for sure.
