That depends, actually, he said, his face creasing into seriousness once more. People often label me as "half-giant" or "part-giant" or even a full giant if they're really ignorant. I'm none of those, though... but it still gets people afraid of you. Jonathan frowned. Which isn't always a good thing when you're the King. It just slipped out; there was no way to take it back now.
But for punishing, maybe, he continued hurriedly, even though that's not usually my job...

"It's better than be ignored. Not noticed at all. If someone accidentally trips me, they walk away as if they never heard me scream and land on the ground. No ones noticed me since I was 5." She muttered to herself, though it was a little loud.
I miss those days, before anything changed. Before life changed, before my parents became who they are, and decided to ignore me for the rest of me life. Before I made theiving my only source to get money. She thought.

That's strange. Jonathan's face clouded over with a sudden burst of anger. That's sort of how things used to b-... uh... He paused in his recollection, not sure how much to give away and how much to keep to himself. Usually his past was just a faint outline of something that had happened in a former life, not something extremely clear and painful. Now that he had a family and friends and a job and a kingdom to look after, all that old hurt had eased away into the back of his mind - and his heart.
But occasionally it crept back, furtively, stealthily, expertly. Now wasn't one of those times, which was good. He'd rather it stay that way.

"Yeah, I guess," she said looking up with a cheery smile. "I'm used to it though, I mean, I get this a lot." She said with a shrug, and she started to depart. "Nice to meet you Jonathan." She said she a smirk and a small wave. She continued to her choice mountain spot, the peak.

You shouldn't be used to it. It's not fair that - Jonathan started to say, but then her next sentence registered and he realized that she was walking away. As he shook his head, a slight smile formed on his lips. Lorelei was so unpredictable. It was a nice change of scenery to be out here with a stranger.
Bye, he called after her, and, feeling a bit more peaceful, leaned back on the rock again and closed his eyes, letting the warm waves of the sun wash over his tired body.

Instead of taking the trail was was taking before, once she reached an easy area, she started to scale the wall rather quickly. This was the benefit of being Lorelei, she was smart, had done this before, and her jeans were stretchy. "Bye!" She called again.
She smiled and looked up, continueing to scale the wall quickly and easily.
