"But if it's a BAD GGianntess and she's So big, what cann WE do?" Layne asks

"A shadowhoof.. or paw, " Jack says "Finds the way"

"What can we do? We can do what we can!"

"You gave me.. a shiney? Oh how it glows and glistens" The fish is exciting "For this, you deserve all the toys"

"No one deserves ALL the toys. We'll just explain that to the Giant lady."

Jack looks over at the fish "How many toys are we talking here?"

Lane elbows him

"Jus curious" the boy protests

"Can we get in that door?"

"It's too tall to reach by tippy hooves" Lane observes "Even for me."

For the door knob above is higgh up

"Can we go under?"

Therre is a gap, it will be a tight fit anndn the centaur might have a really hard time

He checks around... windows? Another way in, maybe a bush to climb? "Mister FishFish, how can we get inside?"

"Because you have helped me, I shall help you... you've climbed the bean stalk, but there is ivy on the wall to your left... it hangs a bit high... but it is a CURIOUS plant" A wink

The fish winked! That, for Fish, is a special power

"Ooooh. Lane, what if we climb up to the window first to see that it's safe, and then we can 'Hip-Hoppity' you up?

"Okay" Lane says

A thumbs up, and Connor wags a tail at Jack. "Race ya to the top!"

(They goin to the side to try the ivy then? Just to be sure)

(Yes! Climbing race!)

The Ivy IS out of their way... it's up there on this new wall but lazy and won't come all the way downn. Why it started at the top we're not sure

"Hmmmm...." Does it need a hopscotch to reach, or a 'Stand on my shoulders'?

If they stand on Lane's shoulders, MAYBE. If he stands on Jack's shoulders while Jacck stands on Lane's shoulders, Sure

"Do you mind, Lane?" He brushes his shoes clean on the cloud...

"I don't wanna Hop-n-scootch you up there in case it's not safe first."

"Okay" She braces herself "Just.. don't step on my nose"

"Never! That would hurt. I got scratched by a cat once, and it was terrible."

He boosts himself up first, then reaches for Jack, steadying on the wall.

And up they go.. slowly forming pooka on Satyr on Centaur.. or is it Satyr on Pooka on centaur? And just as they can be sure to reach, the ivy gets curious and asks "What .. are you doing?" It lowers to see what they arre doing

"Hi!" He blinks, he's never talked to a plant... and boosts Jack up higher. "You know plants, Jack... ask them if we can go up?"

"Hi. I'm Jack" Jack says

The Ivy shivers with surprise "We have a jack here? This just got interresting. She'll smash your bones to make her bread, you know that right?"

"We won't let her. I like bones, but I like my own on the inside."

"And I've SEEN bread made. It ain't got BONES in."

"Well, this is worth watchinnng.. up you go" And up you are all THREE lifted to the window ledge which is slightly open

Slightly open for a Giant is plenty for a couple of boys! He checks if Layne will fit Too.

Layne will!

Shimmy shimmy... and he reaches back through to pat the plant. "Thank you!"

"Just entertain me"

"Eye Eye, Cap'n Ivy!" He calls back, then checks out the insides!

With his Eye Eyes.

It's a castle like out of a fairy tale... stone walls with wooden supports of finne polish. A grreat big fire place (No bale or for that matter fire going)... there's a Bear skin rug on a table used as a coaster

And... in one chest... open, is a treasure hoard

Toys! Toys and more toys! Sliding whistles! Cork poping toy pistols! Action figures and dolls! Puppets, Muppets, and Marionettes! And a bright bouncy ball!

These are NOT giant sized, well, not mos of hem, they are CONNOR sized, which is to say, big enough for Connor to use, not as BIG as connor, that was implied, but then in the dreaming best to be clear. They are toys a kid like connor, or jack, or Laynne, could play. Pinwheels and pennywhistles!

"Ooooooo." "We should make a biiiiig kitty-pult. We could fling the entire chest out the window, and the toys will go all over for kids to find!"

He reaches for a pinwheel, though, wanting to see it spin!

Well... it's kid of out of reach from the inside ledge. He'd fall down

"Awwww."
