Reese was surprised. The entire time he'd been here Chi hadn't ever made any comments on his weight, and now this all of a sudden. Why, she looked ready to cry!<br/><br/>"Hey, hey," he said, mostly just trying to cheer her up, "It's really not all that bad. I've definitely put on a bit of weight, but I can handle a few extra pounds." He patted his stomach to try to emphasize his point, and immediately wished he hadn't; the thing wobbled back and forth like crazy, and it was extremely embarrassing. "Really Chi, I'm fine."<br/><br/>Sure he said that, but it was rather hard to make it sound convincing when he was struggling for breath against a chair that was much too small, with arms that dug mercilessly into his over-grown sides. "I'm managing perfectly fine," he lied.
