They lower Enid to the ground so she can stand on her feet, but the exhilaration overwhelms her and turns her knees to jelly, causing her to falter and end in a half-sitting position on the floor. The voices behind her collectively 'oh!' and go silent. Her escort squats down again, hooking their hands below Enid's arms and lifting her up before she can have a look at their face.
The giant carries her deeper into the foreign lair, expanding the picture beyond their broad shoulder as Enid peeks over it: several muscular, giant women follow them, all furrowed brows and eyes squinting - curious and possibly, suspicious, about their foreign visitor. All of them are dressed in the same attire; black padded vests, military green baggy trousers and belt buckles fitted with holsters containing an array of weapons and gadgets.
Enid is overcome with emotion, having to take in the sight of strange, novel surroundings and beings, their penetrating stares, the sensation of being carried about by a person three times her size, and the distinctively warm smell of sweat threatening to break through on the giant's skin. She feels lightheaded.
A familiar voice grabs her attention - it's the one who discovered and inspected her at the foot of the wall. Despite their conversing in a different language, it is clear to Enid that the examiner is being inundated with questions from her peers, as they huddle around her, switching their gazes from her to Enid, and back to her.
Promptly, the carrier crouches and sets her down on a comfortable, large cushion, almost like a small futon. Enid instinctively clambers backward over the puffy mattress till she is sitting with her back to the wall, facing the crowd of women that now grows quiet as they cagily advance toward her.
Every single one of them is over 7 feet tall, some perhaps even closer to 8. They approach slowly, listening to the examiner caution them about Enid's disposition. Enid looks to the Carrier, who is currently closest to her and thus poses the biggest possible threat. Carrier, like all the others, has a dark ebony skin-tone. Under thick, black and perfectly-shaped brows, their eyes are big and dark as the sky outside, and their black hair had very recently been shaved off completely; an elegant fit for the strong jaw and prominent cheekbones. From the septum of their nose hangs a silver ring just big enough to curve around and on either side of their bottom lip, similar piercings. Their earlobes had been stretched big enough for one of Enid's fingers to fit through, and they had driven thick, wooden spirals through. Nothing about Carrier's facial features makes it easy to determine their sex.
Examiner is quite similar with regards to strong facial features, with the main differences being the colour of her eyes, which are olive-green, her thick, black curls that threaten to hide those striking eyes almost like the dishevelled hair of a careless schoolboy. Her nose and not-as-prominent cheekbones are adorably littered with freckles, making her appear much softer and approachable than Carrier, who has yet to manage a friendly expression.
With respect to overall physical appearance, they are uniform: broad shoulders, long legs and exceptionally muscular bodies all-around. Examiner eventually comes to her knees on the futon and reaches out to Enid, repeating the same word used to calm her down before. Enid flinches, at which point, Examiner retreats and says something to another giantess, who leaves the room in a hurry.
Another incites a conversation between the lot of them and they altogether begin removing the padded vests they had been wearing, revealing the rest of the original uniform: tight-fitting beige tank-tops - no bras, as is made evident by the shadows of their nipples standing erect beneath the fabric and the way their breasts moved naturally when they moved. Enid pays special attention to Carrier's chest; having the question answered at last when two proportionately small lumps bounce free - the nipples extremely prominent and dark, making it very difficult to avoid staring at them.
The one who left comes rushing back into the room with a bowl and plate, and hands it to Examiner, who then holds it out to Enid. It appears to be a kind of soup with slices of bread to accompany. Carrier's intense gaze follows every movement Enid makes as she carefully takes the plate. It is nearly impossible for Enid to avoid locking eyes with her every now-and-again, wondering what that serious, almost critical, expression means.
To avoid causing offence, Enid begins to eat the food she was given; dipping the toasted bread in the thick, orange soup and biting off a small piece at first, in fear of perhaps choking on an unforeseen flavour. It's delicious. Having taken one bite, her attention is swiftly diverted to how hungry she had become, prompting her to continue eating, despite being regarded attentively by a horde of giant women. Fortunately, they are soon reminded of their official obligations and return to their posts on the wall or behind monitors displaying live streams of the area beyond it.
The only ones who stay close are Carrier and Examiner, the latter grinning contently as Enid has her fill of the bread and soup. They exchange some words, and Carrier leaves them to return to her post at the top of the wall. Examiner rises from her crouching position to slowly settle in next to Enid, whose breath is momentarily taken away by the sheer size of the woman. In a deliberate, non-threatening gesture, she reaches around Enid's shoulders and cosies up next to her.
Examiner's breast brushes against her cheek and she feels herself glow red again, but doesn't resist in fear of offending. Too nervous to take another bite, she sets the plate down carefully next to her, at which point Examiner reaches over to take it and put it on the floor next to her, momentarily smothering Enid with her breasts as she does so.
With both hands free and the length of her arms allotting wide-ranging access, she retakes her inspection of Enid; starting with her face. She raises her head again with her index finger so that they make eye-contact and runs her thumb lengthways over Enid's lips. Having such an up-close view of Examiner's face, Enid is dumbstruck by its attractiveness; the brightness of her viridian-coloured eyes, the symmetry of her nose, the smooth semicircles of hair framing her face and conforming harmoniously with the position of her ears and jawline, her full lips with their naturally-occurring gradient of pink and beige, and her ebony skin of which the only disruption is the multitude of dark freckles stretching from the end of one cheekbone to the other.
A wide, sincere grin only does well to enhance her pure beauty. Why would she be grinning like this? Did she notice Enid inspecting her in return? Did she hear her gulp down the saliva that had gathered in her throat? Enid flushes - quite noticeably - inciting Examiner's thumb to travel up towards her cheeks where it tests the temperature of the glow that has suddenly appeared. The grin grows wider, as if to indicate her becoming aware of Enid's coyness.
She runs her long fingers down the side of her face and then combs them through her hair before moving on to the rest of her body. With no trouble, she lifts Enid up and over one leg to sit her right up against her groin, between her legs. Her strong upper arms secure Enid's shoulders in place, leaving both hands free to roam as they please.
Enid's breathing picks up. The extreme intimacy proves nearly too much for her but she bears it out of fear, being aware of how easy it would be for the giantess to hurt her - or worse. Sensing her distress, Examiner gently strokes her cheek while repeating "shh..." the first familiar uttering she's heard thus far.
Before she can commence her re-examining of Enid's comparatively miniscule body parts, a stern voice can be heard accompanying deliberate footsteps into the room. It's a heavy-set giantess dressed in a semi-formal looking outfit, though still seeming battle-ready like the rest of them. Perhaps she is someone important, like a general. She strides towards Enid and addresses Examiner in a less formal tone.
Examiner responds, almost dreamily, still cupping one of Enid's hands in her own. General kneels down to have a closer look and continues the short dialogue with Examiner. Two other giantesses are called over. Examiner hands over the two little hands and Enid is pulled up, at which point she shrieks and begins to struggle against them.
Glancing back at Examiner, she realizes how quickly she had grown attached to the inquisitive amazon. The desperation on Enid's face upon looking back brings this very reality to Examiner's attention and she is on her feet in an instant, insisting that it would be better if she carried Enid herself. She crouches beside Enid, strokes consolingly up and down her arm and drapes it around her neck before scooping her up and holding her like an injured little girl.
They follow General outside, where Enid is given a clear view of what must be the entire city, as the scene appears nearly inexhaustible. It is a sea of overgrown trees and shrubbery sparsely decorated with skyscrapers of unusual designs that Enid had never seen before. They bend and curve in harmony with the enormous trees. Some of them bend at sharp angles halfway up and slither amidst the treetops, their support being large, round pillars that function doubly as support for light fixtures.
She is carried into an elevator, still accompanied by the others, and gets a top-to-bottom view of the foreign landscape through the transparent glass walls. When they step out, the two guards walk out in front to keep the curious residents at a distance. They all seem to respect the request for them to give space. But stare, they do - at the trembling, dirty little human cradled in the giantess's arms like a scared child.
