Robb slowly began to regain his senses - he felt himself lying against a soft fabric; wool perhaps. He slowly opened his eyes, stinging as they adjusted to the dim light of a burning fire. His back was still aching from crashing against the tree. He groaned slightly as he sat up to examine his surroundings - he was equally shocked to see such a place. He looked to be in a large dome - made of tree-trunks and a straw roof. He saw that he was laying on a large mat of leather and woolen cloth - it had to be at most 30 feet long! And he wasn't truly laying on the mat, but upon the huge pillow at its head. At least it was very soft.
He looked around again - and saw an iron frame with a flat surface, above what to Robb, looked liked a Bonfire. He suddenly noticed a huge figure, squatting near the makeshift stove, its back turned to him. It was prodding the flames with what seemed to be a very large branch. The giant suddenly lifted its head.
"So, you're finally awake," it said without turning to Robb. Finally it began to stand up and turn. Robb felt his stomach sink when he saw the giant stand at a full height of 20 feet. But when he looked up at its face, he recognized it as the giant boy from the beach. "Good - you seem to be alright. Sorry about that kick, back there. But to be honest, it could've been a lot worse - I was beginning to think I'd killed you."
Robb was still in such shock that this hulk was 20 feet tall, but looked only to be 12 years old. His mouth hung agape, unable to form words. The giant raised an eyebrow at him. He slowly sat on the side of the mat, near the pillow. His head was hanging over Robb - he could see his entire body reflected in the giant's eyes.
"Are you alright, tiny one?" he asked him. "Or are you not old enough to speak yet?"
That confused Robb - did this 12 year old giant...think that he was a Child?
