@littlest-lily I must admit I chuckled at Evie’s misinterpretation of Aiden’s proposal. Unwanted little tiny, ready to hit the pavement and find new digs on her own. 
Too cute.
Much more encouraging is Evie’s determination to adapt to her new circumstances. Many tinies would not only despair but also pretend to be happy for their keepers’ sake. Good on Aiden for being honest with his feelings, too.
@littlest-lily I’m fairly certain my personality will be affected when I perfect my shrink ray. 
@Mrgoblinging7 Depressingly, in “One Little Ship” the writers decided that normal-sized oxygen molecules would be too big for the miniature crewmembers’ lungs to absorb, so they were restricted to the environment inside the shuttle.
@littlest-lily I had expected Evie to join Aiden in the kitchen at some point, but I never made the Ratatouille connection. That’s a sweet image.
“You ready to be my little GPS?”
Aiden’s pick-up lines are improving.
“Aww, why do you keep them in a box? Poor things. You should display them if they’re important to you!”
Indeed.
@tiny-ivy I hope you encounter someone with the appropriate imagination and appetite.
@littlest-lily I’m afraid it varies depending on several factors, primarily our respective personae. 
To address the specific size issue: little ladies taller than four inches are literally more than a handful, and it’s very important to me that I can enclose her entirely in my hand, so four inches is usually my upper limit. 
The greatest catastrophe would be if I were to drop her, so my chief concern is a secure grip. One-inchers get pinched between the pads of my index finger and my thumb, 2-4 inchers are wrapped up by my fingers and pressed against my palm. Under a half-inch-tall is too small to really grip, so if I wanted a micro lady in my palm I’d probably have to sweep her into it. A bottle of compressed air would come in handy here. 
An important factor is whether a given tiny woman has ever been handled by anyone at all or by me in particular. If it is an occasion where I need or want to establish trust, I might invite her to place herself into my palm. If I am feeling particularly dominant or if I sense that she’s feeling particularly submissive, I will simply grab her without warning or permission.
Regular readers will recall that I enjoy bathing tiny ladies, so when it’s time to dry off I’ll scoop her up out of the water. If she’s in the bathtub with me, I probably won’t be able to resist surfacing some part of my body beneath her. 
There is no greater first impression than the first physical contact, and it can also be an occasion for demonstration and instruction. Dangling her upside down by her leg looks absurd, and as such it is best reserved for when there’s an audience, either other tinies who need to be trained or other biggos who would be entertained by her plight. 
Last but not least, I do enjoy picking her up with my lips and teeth by bringing my mouth down over her T-Rex-style. I’ll do this with even the most cherished and respected tinies as a bit of playful teasing. 
@Deedee There’s a long way to go in helping straight men develop better physical self-images, but a necessary step is embracing the (straight) female gaze in every element of society, including fetish porn.
@littlest-lily Tinies suffer less from falling due to their small mass, so being moved around by puffs of air or suction (think a straw with a finger over one end) carries less risk of crushing and can even get to be fun for the tiny.
Yeah, tweezers are unquestionably scary (sometimes intentionally so).
