Current Emotion: Awkward Post-Coital Conversations Are Awkward to Write

If the house looks large on the outside, it looks positively huge on the inside. Grace stares around her as they cross the threshold and Thorin closes the door behind them. Everything is twice or even three times the size of regular objects. Boots lined up at the door look like they could house an oversized dog quite comfortably. The shelf by the wall looks like it could fit a whole child. And not a small one at that. Before them, Grace sees the company. They are seated - or rather perched, all but Gandalf - on chairs that leave their legs dangling, and Gandalf's heels swinging free. At the head of the table, Grace sees a huge man - if she can him that, standing on his feet. His head almost grazes then high wood ceiling. If it were not for the company as reference, he would not seem overly large, the house and all its contents sized to his measure. as it is, where Thorin and the others are dwarves, this Skinchanger is a giant. Even Gandalf looks small in comparison, and the wizard is no small man.
