@littlest-lily I had a poorer reaction to the cop’s appearance than Evie did. Cops are worse than vermin.
Bravo to Aiden for keeping his composure. Time to fabricate some interior cuffs for his pant legs. And shoes for Evie.
It’s probably too soon for Aiden and Evie to share a bath to get all that grime off.
Potential anti-climax: the flash drive only contains Dr. Little’s SW porn stash.
@tiny-ivy I hope you encounter someone with the appropriate imagination and appetite.
@littlest-lily 🤩 Jesus, Lily, I have to go to work now.
I’ve been able to develop feelings for him without any kind of size-related kink.
I’ve been waiting for her to figure this out, but I couldn’t say anything. A crucial aspect of their relationship is that for almost the entirety of the time that they’ve known each other they’ve been at different sizes. That conversation would have gone much differently had they already known each other and checked each other out before Evie got shrunk.
I just hope Aiden doesn’t turn into a size geek and dump a bunch of new jargon and scenarios on her. 
@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. 
@littlest-lily Many thanks for sharing this story with us and leaving us at a nice place for the chapter break!
@mrgoblinging7 Mindless is no fun. Even if you’re not planning on swallowing or ingesting them, they should at least fear that possibility.
@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).
@littlest-lily It would be a lie to say that my opinions about police hasn’t evolved in the ten years since I wrote Little Trouble in Big Sky. Nevertheless, I think I was rather cynical in my depiction of society in general and cops in particular as corrupt and craven. There are very few “good cops” IRL and even fewer in Big Sky.
If the flash drive is Dr. L’s size porn stash, it might be somewhat educational for Evie. 
@littlest-lily If I have to run for any reason while holding you, you’ll want to be in my fist.
@NobodyOfKnowhere I coulda sworn @Nyx wrote at least one story along these lines.
