"If it's alright with you I would rather stay hidden when they're here." you say feeling a bit nervous.

Right away Abigial sense your discomfort and looks at you sadly.

"Aww what's the matter Kenny? Is it that you don't trust me?" she says with sorrow in her voice.

No no! I trust you! The thing is, I just don't trust norms in general. You have no idea how many times I've almost been squashed or eaten by some woman who was hungry or just flat out sadistic. You're the only kind big person aside from my mom that I've ever met." you say, trying to reassure Abigial.

Abigail holds you gently in her closed fist and snuggles you up against her cheek, seeing how afraid you are.

"There there little one. I won't let anyone hurt you and I definitely won't let anyone eat you. I understand why you don't trust big people. So many of them are cruel to tinies for no reason. I promise you my friends aren't cruel. The only thing they will want to do is love you to bits!" says Abigail, trying to reassure you.

"I don't know..." you say, still unsure.

"What if I hold you safe and secure on my person and not let my friends touch or hold you without your express permission? Would you be ok with meeting them then? If you say no, I will respect your wishes. Just know there's nothing to be afraid of." suggests Abigial kindly.

You think for a moment. On one hand you do trust Abigial, and you can't imagine getting hurt if she's holding you herself. On the other hand, you've suffered so much and have a bit of PTSD when dealing with norms and you're only now feeling safe with Abigail.

What do you decide?
