@littlest-lily I was grinning the whole time I read this chapter. I’m still grinning.

I don’t know where to start; okay, yes I do: Are you planning to recount the initial conversation between Aiden and Moira? Gotta be the most fraught discussion ever.

From the moment Aiden made his introduction, I was thinking, “Kneel down, get on her level.” Then Moira did!

If I ever got Aiden alone, I’d ask him if he thought Moira would be someone he’d introduce to Evie under normal circumstances, or if he thought Moira was somehow a better friend candidate under Evie’s reduced circumstances.

Forgive my anime ignorance, but I imagine there are other tiny-girl stories out there besides Arrietty. It would be hilarious if Moira had thought more about this topic than the average anime fan.

I am now eagerly anticipating when Aiden and Evie watch Ratatouille together and they come to the scene where Linguini wordlessly suggests that Remy hide in his pants and Remy wordlessly declines.

I remain in awe of how well Aiden must have prepared Moira for this encounter, so I have to imagine that he must have warned her that she might get to hold Evie in her hand. I’m so proud of all three of these bozos.

Moira POV chapter?

@sloppy_amy Get back to work.

Out of all my friends I figured she was the most likely to believe me

Of course this had to be the chief criterion. Aiden is smarter than me.

There’s a wistful part of me that’s mourning the fact that she’s no longer my little secret that I get to keep just for myself.

Oof, that’s gonna leave a mark.

I almost cave. Almost say something I shouldn’t. Or maybe I should. But instead I just say, “Oh… All good, then.”

I know this is an unprecedented crazy situation, Aiden, but the correct response is, “I like holding you, too.”

It’s a three-way race to see who will first call Aiden on his feelings for Evie, and honestly I have no idea who will win (or who I want to win).

@mrgoblinging7 Always a welcome garnish.

@littlest-lily Aiden could clearly benefit from taking a class or two (probably online) about caring for disabled people. They emphasize that preserving dignity applies to the caregiver, as well. People can tell when someone is walking on eggshells around them, and they generally don’t like it.

@hentaihunter1 THE CAKE IS A LIE

@littlest-lily Evie probably shouldn’t investigate stains on the bedroom floor.

@hentaihunter1 Caramel syrup FTW.

@littlest-lily To be fair, I’ve been thinking about this for a lot longer than they have.

@smolchlo She’s just not as quick and agile as you are, Chloe. Sucks to be her.

Looks like Aiden chose well.

By the time Moira makes it across the room with me, the other giant is on her heels

Adorably, I initially misread that second clause as “my other giant.”

@sloppy_amy ISTR asking the artist about the (lack of) splatter, and he responded that some tinies are very durable and resilient, like they’re made of rubber cement or something. Apparently she bounced off the wall with a satisfying yelp.

@littlest-lily Typical Evie, worrying about how she might be able to satisfy Aiden instead of the other way around.

@smolchlo Just a flick on the fanny when you run your mouth too much. Probably won’t even fly off the table.

@littlest-lily I can see that for pre-existing partners who are now relatively giant. Happens all the time when one partner becomes disabled and the relationship has to be re-negotiated. Sometimes they get divorced and marry their professional caregiver. Evie should feel no shame about acknowledging the transactional aspect.

Anyway, Moira might have some suggestions (for both Evie and Aiden)…
