No, you have been fortunate to make it this far, with so many trips on the feet and limbs of these giants without being crushed or spotted. Best not to push your luck today. You have sufficient food for the present, and it'll be easier to establish a camp in this house if there are no gods nearby!
So, you walk to the middle of the table, far away from any possible kicking feet. Still, as you wait for the meal to end, the thunder of the talk above rumbles on, and your eyes are fixed on the swinging feet of the son. You know you're out of his reach, but seeing those mountainous appendages flying so freely back and forth through the air is fascinating.
Minutes pass, and then those feet crash down to the ground, knocking you on your back as the boy pushes his chair back. You don't even bother rising, as the quaking caused as he runs out of the room is almost as bad. The girl soon follows, her movements not much better.
At least the adults rise with some grace, their larger yet slower tread almost comforting in the wake of their children's anarchy. When they have pushed their chairs under the table, you feel confident enough to venture past the towering table legs to peer out at the room.
While the children have rushed form the room, the adults have crossed to the kitchen sink, where it looks like they're sharing the chore of cleaning the dishes. That shouldn't take them long, so you won't have to hang around long if you want the room to yourself. You use that time to cast your eyes about, seeing two doors, one leading outside and the other further into the house. White goods dominate much of the landscape, imposing obelisks of arcane purpose beyond one such as you.
Yet food can be found here, for a survivalist cunning enough to look for it. Where should you go, to prepare a base camp site within this house of giants?
