I sigh semi-irritated while trying to keep my balance. The giant, Silver, look like he was almost an adult, but he acted like a child. I have been with him and his deer for about a week now and Sil's playfulness was starting to become bothersome. The reason his playfulness is bothering me now though is because he was hopping around in his human form as he did something. I was on the ground, so I could feel the shaking at full force. At least my leg healed, so it wasn't hurting.
"Sil?....Sil?... Silver!?" I say trying to get his attention, I resort to yelling as I lose my balance though. Sil stopped bouncing and turns to look at me. Thank God I finally got his attention. The giant tilts his head to the side while he asks,"Yes?"
I sigh again. "Sil, you need to stop hopping around. You shake the ground when you do and it makes it hard for me to walk. I also fear that I'll get squashed." I say as I get up from the ground.
I can see an apology in the giant's golden eyes before he whispers, "I'm so sorry Jarry. I didn't know I was bothering you. I'll stop it with hippity hop. Can you find it in your heart to forgive me?"
With a fake irritated huff I grumply ask, " Ya sure why not? Anyway, what are you even doing?" At my question the giant crouched down so fast my eyes couldn't track his movement. When my eyes did focus, I could see that Sil was offering his hand out. I mulled over if I actually wanted to know what a bouncing giant is doing. With another sigh I climb on to his hand.
Sil slowly stands up and places me on the table. I look around and see a giant bowl and several smaller bowls. The big bowl was steaming, without heat. I tried to stand on my tip toes to see what's in the bowl but I have no luck, the bowl is taller than me by a few inches.
"Are you making something?" I ask. Sil points to the bowls and tilts his head to the side. "Yes, I'm talking about that..." I answer his unvoiced question.
"I'm making a kinda growth potion!" Sil says with a happy tone. I stare up at him....What in the the world did he mean by 'Kinda growth potion'?
'' Kinda growth potion?" I say in confusion.
"Yep! The reason it's a kinda growth potion because it can only grow non-moving matter.. So it can't grow a animal or human, but it can grow fruits and veggies so I can eat!" He says happily while picking up the steaming bowl and pouring it in a glass cup. He then puts a lid on the cup.
I wondered how he got food that big. Sil hops to the odds and ends room to put the potion away. I thought he was going to stop hopping. It takes me a few seconds to realise that I was stranded on the table. I walk to the edge and look down. It was too far to jump and I couldn't climb down. That left only one option...
"SILVER!" I howl at the top of my lungs. I wait a minute before Sil walks in with confusion and concern his eyes. I cross my arms and squint accusingly at him. " So-" I start to question "- was I meant to die of hunger or of thirst on this table?"
The concerned look in his eye was filled with mocking one. Sil chuckles as he crouches down to be eye level with me. "Well being the hot head you are, I was expecting you to jump." He said with a lopsided smile.
With an irritated huff I lightly slap Sil's nose while saying, " Trying to get rid of me so soon?" Sil scrunches up his face and nods playfully. I turn away in fake anger. " How dare you silver, I thought I was your friend."
"Wha? No, no! You are my friend Jarry! I was joking, sorry!" Sil says quickly. I suddenly find myself lifted into the air and spun around. I had to bite my tongue so I didn't scream. After a few moments of Sil twirling around with me in his hands I start to feel dizzy and sick.
"Sil...Silver, please stop spinning I'm going to be sick!" I whine with a hiccup. Sil obeys my wish and stops with his twirling. I close my eyes while my stomach settles. When I open my eyes I am greeted by Sil and his joyful smile. Sil puts his face in the hand I am in, it was a loving action that me and Rosey had to deal with. "How old are you? Are you a child, because you act like your very young." I ask.
Lifting his his head back up Sil smile gets bigger as he says happily, " I'm Twenty-one!, what about you?"
" You are way too playful for your age! I'm Twenty-two and I am way more mature than you!"
"Maybe so, or maybe you just don't know don't know how to have fun! I'm gonna go find Rosey and take her to the lake, wanna come with?" He counters, smile never faltering. I sigh and nod. His playfulness doesn't affect me as much there.
"Yay!" Sil yelps as he crouches down and tilts the hand I'm in. The ground shakes as he bounces away to find the deer. I slowly walk after him, having nothing better to do. He went to his room. "Rosey, Rosey girl, where are you? We're going to the lake girl!" I hear him call.
I see the deer under the bed, but I hold my tongue because it fun watching the giant search. Sil ends getting on his knees and looking under the bed. He scoops the deer up then crawls with one hand over to me. He holds the hand that isn't occupied out to me.
"Ready to go?" Sil asks me as I climb up onto his hand. I nod and Sil carefully stands up and walks to the lake.
