Politely decline

You took a deep breath, closing your eyes briefly while you were on a straight stretch of the road, having made your decision.

"Lucinda, you're lovely like that, and I'm really tempted, but... I'm going to have to pass. That's a talk I need to have with Victoria later, among... other things."

Lucinda nodded a little, slightly disappointed, but she smiled. "A part of me, or likely a part of Tori, is happy that you are thinking like that. I think I can safely say that she would be okay, since I'm being a bit forward and, heck, just look at me! I'm amazing." As if to punctuate those words, her hands dug deep into her massive chest, causing you to squirm as you saw her jiggling her breasts with her hands when the bumps of the road didn't move her body on her behalf. "Still. I understand. I appreciate just being able to get home. I think you're a good friend, Peter. I think Tori does too, that you are thinking about her wellbeing. It would be easy to take advantage of the situation, but I think Tori was really hoping she could trust you with a secret like this."

You nodded a little, trying to understand how to be compassionate given the circumstances. At this point, you seemed willing to give Tori the benefit of the doubt on even the most absurd ideas, like this Channeler business.

The remainder of the drive didn't last long, mostly it was filled with Lucinda playing with a phone or taking the opportunity to feel what it was like to be human. She didn't do anything particularly scandalous, outside of remaining in her mostly undressed state, going so far as to kick off her shoes and then remove the jeans the rest of the way, sitting in only the panties now. At one point, you heard a clicking noise and a giggle, and you guessed that your passenger had found the camera app.

When the three blue barns came into view, Lucinda tapped your shoulder a couple times. "We don't have to go all the way in, here's fine. It's better if people don't see me end the channeling, that leads to other questions and problems." After you stopped, you felt a kiss on your cheek and large, warm mounds of flesh press against your side. "Well, Peter, it was short and sweet, but I enjoyed our time together. Remember to be patient with Tori when it comes to this!"

You stayed inside the car as Lucinda climbed out, walking to a nearby field a few feet from the road. You realized she hadn't put anything on again, wandering around the grass in panties until she found a good spot. She waved at you one last time, and then held her hand out. With a purple glow, the cow--the true Lucinda, the former driver of your friend--appeared before Tori, standing around as if nothing ever happened. The cow seemed as content as a cow could be to simply wander off further down the open field.

Tori opened her eyes and turned around, looking at the car. She glanced back at the cow and then smiled back at you knowing you'd helped her achieve something that would've been difficult on her own--and then her face turned beet red as she tried to cover up her body, which had once again returned to its normal proportions. Her hair had lightened, the horns had vanished, but she was still clad in just her panties as she scrambled back to the car, an arm over her chest. You glanced away as she hurriedly grabbed her shirt to at least put that on again.

"So, uh... I thought I'd have been able to control my curse a little better before I could explain it to you, but this is one way to learn as well, I suppose. If I'm going to be crashing at your place for a while, you'll have to be prepared for some, um, unusual situations that might occur." Once she had her jeans and a shirt back on, she buckled back up, her face still a little red. You hadn't ever seen Tori naked, and she knew it, though she still tried to keep her cheery demeanor. "Anyway... can we get some coffee? I can avoid another channeling event until after I get a full night's sleep, so we'd be safe to go into town. Then, I'll explain whatever you want. Or, I guess, if you don't want any part of this, I'll be quiet about it as much as I can. I could really use someone on my side who understands, though."

Coffee did sound good, at least. After seeing the magic and the transformations, there was no question that what you saw was real. At some level, you felt ignorance may be bliss, but it would be a lie to say you weren't at least a little curious about just what was going on, especially if it wouldn't be the last time...
