The trio entered the house. Both Savanna and Chase had never seen anything like this in their lives and by the look on their faces, they were astonished. The giant gave them a hand up on to the chairs that sat at the table.

"Would you guys like a cup of basil root tea?" the giant offered. He put as much compassion in his voice as he could muster. He wanted this young girl to feel comfortable with him, if she had done so much for his young friend, she was the type of person that he would love to hang out with. She reminded him of beings on his home planet, she was the closest thing, personality wise, that he had met to a giant in a long time. The giant was home sick and lonely; he needed new friends.
