"It's nice to see you playing well with a human," an older, giant woman addressed a twenty-something year old giant. His chin was flush on the desk as he gazed over a little, blonde-haired girl who sat in his palm. Her comment made him jerk his head up.
"Hi Ms. Calentine!" the little, human girl greeted the old servant.
"Hello Valerie," Ms. Calentine greeted the young girl, "Would you two like anything, Master Thomas?"
"For you to mind your business," Thomas snapped.
"Now hold on a minute, young man. I knew your mother very well, and I know she taught you some manners," Ms. Calentine sneered. Her voice softened, "I'm not judging you, Thomas. I genuinely think it's sweet, and I'm happy for you."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever," Thomas rolled his eyes, "Water."
"Manners!" Ms. Calentine demanded.
Thomas muttered bitterly to himself, "Please."
"And ask the young lady if she'd like anything," Ms. Calentine pressed.
"Do you want anything, lass?" Thomas asked begrudgingly.
Valerie shook her head.
"Such a good boy," Ms. Calentine gave him a peck on the cheek before walking away. She would've been fired in any other setting if she hadn't helped raise him since he was a baby. She was his second mother, and he loved her too much to treat her like most servants were treated.
He looked down at his hand and found that it was bare. The little girl had wandered away to look at his quill. He plucked her back up and deposited her back into his palm. She let out a little yelp as she was hoisted through the air.
He placed his chin back onto the desk and examined the little things curiously as she looked around his desk. She suddenly decided to rest her sparkling, blue eyes on him.
"You're big!" she commented cheerfully.
He frowned. "You're small," he stated dryly.
"I'm not small," she protested, "You're just huge!" An extremely small, almost microscopic hand patted his face.
He growled at her, baring his enormous fangs, but she unwavered in her examination. At one point, she clamped her hands over his nostrils, contorting his growls into a gurgling snort. This caused her to giggle profusely.
"I could devour you whole and alive, ya know? Leaving you to die an excruciatingly painful death." he warned, but the clamping of his nasal passages made the threat come out in a wheezing way. She only laughed harder.
He snatched her up in a loose fist before dangling her over his mouth. The little girl screamed.
"I leave for one minute, and you're trying to eat the child," Ms. Calentine popped the back of his head. He reluctantly placed the little girl back down.
"She disparaged me!" Thomas protested.
"She's six, you big baby," Ms. Calentine shook her head, placing a glass of water onto his desk, "And you know you'd regret eating her."
"I know, I know. I wasn't really gonna eat her...just give her a good scare." Thomas objected.
"Jerk!" Valerie huffed.
"Apologize," Ms. Calentine ordered.
"I'm sorry for threatening to eat you," Thomas grumbled.
"Good boy," Ms. Calentine smiled before leaving the room.
"It's okay. I'm sorry for laughing at you." Valerie admitted. "We're still friends, right?" Valerie asked nervously.
He chuckled. "Of course, lass."
