This all could be a good deal worse, as Daine often reminds herself.
Kitten's not as big as she could be, first off. Not as big as her ma had been, just big enough that there's no question of her being grown up. Which means the farmhouse wasn't completely wrecked when the change happened, and that what damage there is shouldn't be too much trouble to fix.
(Though there's nothing to be done for the potting shed. That's a complete loss.)
And though Kitten's mind and magic seem the same as they've always been, Daine knows enough other folk with powerful magic to help at least keep her hid. They've found a place out in the forest well away from any hiking trails, and Magnus has done a wonder with glamours and other magics to keep folk from noticing Kitten's there. The dragonet (well, dragon) doesn't seem overly fond of it -- she keeps sneezing when she gets too close to the invisible line where the magic sits, and Daine can't quite tell if it's involuntary or if Kit's trying to make a point -- but she's been staying within the bounds of it. So far.
The two real difficulties are keeping her both fed and entertained. Kitten can eat most anything, which is a small mercy, but it's still hard to buy (and haul) thrice Daine's own body weight in food every day without getting odd looks from folk at the grocery store. Worse, there's just nothing for Kit to do out in the woods. Daine's been keeping her company and reading to her, but she can tell the dragon's getting restless. And a bored, large dragon is the last thing the city needs.
Daine's on her way to Kit's hiding place after yet another food run, a stuffed backpack slung over her shoulders and a bag dangling from each hand. It's a trip she's made often enough for her formerly brisk march to have faded into something closer to a trudge (can she really blame Kit for being bored with all this when she's bored with it, too?), but she's fair determined to just get to her charge without incident.
Tired and preoccupied as she is, when a body appears in front of her, she moves to sidestep them with an absent, "Pardon," not even giving them a glance.
[ooc: who wants to meet a big dragon?? Hopefully someone Daine already knows, because tbh she's not gonna trust a stranger with this. But friends and acquaintances are welcomed and encouraged -- especially those who have met tiny!Kitten before.]

Daine lights up when he suggests bringing Saoirse to visit her. From what she knows of the girl, she doubts she'd be frightened. If anything, she'd probably think meeting a full-sized dragon was marvelous. And it might do Kitten some good to have company that's more her own age.
"That's be fair perfect. We've been trying to stay with her in shifts, so she never has to just sit there by herself, and... well, it'd help everyone if someone else took one," she admits. There's enough help at the farmhouse that they haven't had any pressing difficulties, but it's still an extra chore none of them had to reckon with before.

Thomas wondered if, with such a sudden change, Kitten simply forgot how big she was. And now he was starting to wonder how big an adult dragon might be. Well, he'd be there to watch them, anyway, and he was getting rather quick these days. He was fairly certain he could pluck Saoirse out of harm's way if need be. And they'd bring Cu and Sadie for back up.
