After another rainy night, the group awoke once again in the world of giants. Sarah again tried to straighten her now even more crooked dress, but it was in vain. They were met with breakfast once again on their human size table. Crumbs and pieces of the big breakfast of their giant hosts. Thomas was discussing why them going to Gaea was even necessary as they barely did anything at all. The giants told him that the The Lift of Descend was linked to Gaea at this time. Calla added that the planets both have gone through major changes and disasters in the past decades, so it was important they got acquainted with the new ways of life on each planet. Thomas shrugged, but he understood. Then a knock on the door came. Calla stood up to open the door. She received a rather small package. She laughed at the delivery man, who was saying he was constantly afraid of losing this package, between his normal mail and that he was glad to have finally delivered it. She then moved back to the cabinet where her guests were waiting and wondering what it was. Calla placed the package on the cabinet.
“This is some stuff we could get, you will need it.” she told them. “It was express delivered from Dera.”
Chloe looked at the package curiously, but then used her knife to open the package, with much more care than one would expect of a Devil. She continued to open it and inspect the contents. The package was very big, for the humans and it contained several pieces of clothing. Sweaters, jackets, pants, long sleeved shirts, scarves and knitted hats.
“What the…” Chloe exclaimed. “What do we need this for? It’s pretty warm right now?!”
“It is warm here on Gaea, nearly always.” Milos answered. “But it is winter at the place on Dera where you will be going to today.”
“Then this has arrived just on time.” Dylan said while looking through the clothes.
“Not really, we ordered them yesterday to arrive today.” Calla said, placing her hands on her hips. “We knew you would need it the moment we saw you!” She added laughing.
“How did you get our sizes?” Thomas also started to look through the box with winter clothing and grabbed the biggest sizes.
“I kinda guessed…” Calla said while shrugging. The group pulled out all the clothes and tried all of them on. There were some extra pieces of clothings, Calla had clearly ordered various sizes of items she couldn’t be very sure about. Pants and some of the shirts for the girls.
“The style I kept quite simple as I have no idea what you like to wear, but at least you won’t freeze to a second death when you arrive on Dera later!” She laughed loudly.
“Thank you very much!” Sarah said, genuinely grateful that she could take off her crooked dress and put some clean clothes on. Milos, who had been in the kitchen for a little while, came back to the cabinet.
“Before you put your new clothes on, let’s get you cleaned up.” He said with his low voice. He placed a tub with hot water on the cabinet and dropped some tiny soaps and towels. Sarah’s face flustered.
“I am to take a bath here?!” she asked in shock. Calla laughed again. The friendly giant turned around and then put 2 books around the tub.
“Sorry, this is the best we can do for you right now!” She smiled at the tiny girl. Sarah smiled back awkwardly and sighed in acceptance. She grabbed her pick of clothes and a towel and walked towards the tub.
“Wait, why do you get to go first?” Chloe asked annoyed. Sarah blushed and stammered.
“I will refresh the water each time, not to worry, it’s barely a waste of water in this amount.”
“That still doesn’t mean she just gets to go first.” Chloe answered while folding her arms. Milos sighed and looked at the tiny blond girl who had no idea as to what she should do now. Clearly in her mind she couldn’t find a reason why she could go first, but also none as to why not?
“Such trivial matters, you will have to cast aside.” The giant man replied, while waving towards Sarah to go to the tub. “You are going to be a team from now on, who gets to take a shower or a bath first is really not an item you should make a problem.”
Sarah laid down in the bathtub and for the first time in days, she relaxed her muscles.
