"So, how's life being as giant as you are?"

"I'm actually the average height of an English man; 5"9. Everything about my life has been pretty average honestly. What about yours?"

"Well, nothing special. It's pretty boring. And lonely."

"That's a shame," He hesitates before asking, "How old are you?"

"I don't really know. I never keep track of these things."

"Are you secretly centuries old or something?"

"I have no idea." she says.

At this point, Gallio is wondering if this tiny human has just arrived from another dimension, it would explain a lot. "Right, have you had any education?"

"What's education? Is it like drugs?"

"Not quite, it's where you learn things, like reading and writing. But by your response, I'm going to guess you haven't."

"Oh." she says, blushing. This was embarrassing.

"What exactly have you been doing your whole life?"

"Trying to stay alive, bit difficult at this size."

"How have you not been tracked down by the government, surely they'd want to know why you're so small."

"Big people are only concerned with things bigger than themselves, believe me. Most people think I'm some sort of rodent."

"Fair point," Gallio blows on his coffee to cool it down, then takes a small sip, "where do you want to go?"

"I don't really care, honestly."

Gallio sighs, "You can come live with me if you've got nowhere else. You can figure out where to go in your own time."

"I guess that sounds okay." she mumbled.

"Okay," He checks his watch, "It's getting late, the last bus that goes by my place comes in 20 minutes." He takes another, bigger, sip.

"Should we go then?" she asked.

"Yeah," He finishes the coffee and leaves the mug, "Do you want to get back into my pocket?"

"Sure, it's as good a way to travel as any."

Gallio picks Heather up puts her in his pocket, he grabs his bag and leaves the cafe. He walks 10 minutes to the bus stop and waits for the bus to arrive.

Heather pokes her head out of Gallio's pocket. "Woah. I'm so high up!"
