"A video?" Daniel didn't sound enthusiastic about the idea as he turned in his work chair to face Emma, who was still lounging on the sofa, her shapely legs completely hanging off one end.
"Yeah!" she said enthusiastically, sitting up quickly, causing the sofa to groan out in anguish, nearly to the point of fracture.
"E-easy there, babe," said Daniel, holding out a cautious, steadying hand. "It...it sounds like the sofa's about to break."
"Whatever," said Emma flippantly, waving him off. She was too excited by her idea to be bothered by such things. "Anyway, come on, Daniel -- get your camera! You still have that fancy digital one you got a while back, right?"
"Uh...yeah," said Daniel, still not budging from his chair.
"Well go and get it!" said Emma, eagerly indicating with her big hand that he should hurry up. Even though she didn't realize it, her hand motion created a wind current that Daniel could actually feel, even though he was sitting about 15 feet away from her.
"Emma...what for?" he asked. He didn't want to sound like some stick in the mud, but Emma's enthusiasm was making him feel nervous, rather than encouraged.
"To take some pictures of the two of us together!" she responded immediately. "Some smart guys on these giantess forums don't believe that I'm actually this big and tall -- they said that my pictures were photoshopped! Can you believe that!?"
"I...uh, yeah, haha, it doesn't sound too far fetched," Daniel admitted, folding his hands in his lap.
"What?" cried Emma. "You too!? Come on, it's obvious that this is all real!"
"I...I understand that, Emma," said Daniel, trying not to sound condescending, "But...I mean, to an internet audience...uhh...well, they might not believe that anyone could be so...big, you know?"
"Well that's why you're going to get your camera and set it to auto mode and then we're gonna do some poses for these people. Haha, they're not gonna be able to have any doubts now!"
"B-But...but Emma," protested Daniel, "I...I don't know if I really wanna be in these pictures that these...uh, other guys are gonna be looking at. It's kinda weird for me. I mean, c-couldn't you just, uh...take pictures of yourself, like...on the sofa like that? Or comparing with something else?"
"I already did all that!" countered Emma, getting off the sofa and rising up into a kneeling position. Daniel couldn't help but feel shocked every time she rose up in this position; even on her knees, she was well over 7 feet tall, and looked absolutely immense. The fact that she was on her knees only added to the enormity of her presence.
"I took pictures of myself next to our bedroom door frame over there, for comparison, and I even tried to stand up, just to show that I couldn't -- and a lot of them still won't believe me!"
"But..s-so what, Emma?" asked Daniel, feeling like she was getting worked up over nothing. "So what if they don't believe you? What does that matter?"
Emma stood there on her knees, regarding Daniel with her mouth slightly open. She couldn't believe how dense he was being -- was it really that hard to understand that these little online men needed to be put in their place? It was all so simple...it wasn't like she was asking him to do anything crazy or unreasonable. Surely he was just...pulling her leg or something. She suddenly decided not to pursue the more negative emotions that were creeping around at the corners of her mind. This was going to be fun, and she was going to make sure that they both enjoyed it.
"Come on, silly!" she laughed, moving towards Daniel on her knees. "Stop whining and moaning and let's have some fun with this!"
Emma was far quicker on her knees than Daniel could have ever believed -- because she was so huge, it only took her about three "strides" to reach him. Before he could react, she had reached down, hooked her massive hands under his armpits, and whooshed him out of his chair.
"Emmmmmaa!" yelped Daniel, his voice going up to a higher pitch as she yanked him into the air. "Wh-whaaaa!! Wh-what are you doing!?"
"Helping you get moving!" she responded, taking an extra few moments to hold him up in front of her face, shaking him gently to convey both her buoyant mood and her sense of urgency. Holding him up like this, his feet were dangling more than a foot off the ground, and even then, his head wasn't as tall as hers. To Emma, it felt like she was holding a child. Her eyes went wide with something like humor as she looked slightly down at her boyfriend's bewildered expression.
'If things are gonna work out now that I'm back,' Emma suddenly thought, 'He's gonna have to get used to this kind of stuff. If I wanna play with him, I'll play with him!'
"Ok," she said smartly, setting him down on his feet, and then extending her arm out over his head, pointing to the bedroom, "now go get your fancy-shmansy camera and let's take some comparison shots!"
Daniel balked for a moment as he stared up at Emma's finger, pointing authoritatively toward the bedroom. Her arm was extended out over his head, so that he actually felt the shadow that it cast over him. He had no idea why all of this stuff mattered to Emma so much all of a sudden, and the prospect of taking comparison pictures with her -- to be plastered all over the internet -- made him feel more uncomfortable than he was willing to admit. He tried to remind himself that he had pledged to himself that he was going to take care of Emma through all of her volatile emotions and mood swings that were associated with her condition, but already, he was starting to second-guess himself. How far was he really willing to go to placate her?
Emma hadn't put her hand down, and Daniel quickly realized that he was taking too long. He shuffled off to the bedroom, not wanting to find out what would happen if he continued pushing back against her on this point. In less than a minute, he had found his camera.
"Awesome, ok so let's do a normal, run-of-the-mill picture first," said Emma, moving about excitedly on her knees as she went up to their bedroom door frame. "You set the camera to auto mode and then come over here and stand next to me, alright? We'll get the door frame in the shot, just to show how you compare to it."
"O-ok," muttered Daniel, attempting to swallow down his doubtful thoughts as he walked quietly over. Emma watched him approach, her eyes following him steadily. Generally, when people came towards her, they looked bigger and bigger the closer they got. However, as Daniel came up to her, Emma was getting the opposite feeling.
