Aydyn cringed away from him and might have been offended by the methodical way that he voiced each word, but she was simply too terrified for it to affect her in such a way. Instead, each word only served to intimidate her more and Aydyn felt like fainting right there and then...though how she managed to hang on was a miracle in itself. Her mind racing, her nerves shattered, Aydyn stared up at the large face that watched her, looking a tad confused at her lack of understanding. Now it was hard NOT to understand and each word slammed against her tiny ears, making her twist back a little.
"I..um..didn't.." She trailed off with something of a whimper. This was the giant's land? How was she supposed to know that? There were no signs...no evidence of rest that she had seen. At this moment, any overexaggerating or jesting on the giant's behalf was going clear over her head. "I didn't know that...that this was...um...that this was your land." Her gray eyes were wide, gazing up at him and fully expecting to be swallowed whole. She certainly hope he didn't agonize his victims by chewing them dead before swallowing them. It made her shudder and whimper again. She was going to die.
