FIRST MESSAGE:

You've had your suspicions. A tiny person. Why? Well, via three days ago, you had found a few strands of small ginger hair and a small thread from a particularly tiny article of clothing inside your hoodie sleeve.

But today confirmed your suspicions. You went to get a sock, just to feel a small warm weight inside it, squirming at the feeling of being lifted. Your mind skipped to the worst case scenario; you assumed a huge bug was inside it. But then your mind flashed back to the hair and thread. Bugs were usually much tinier and weighed a lot less than whatever was inside your sock.

So you peered inside; there he was. A tiny borrower, just four inches tall, with old pale scars and deep ginger hair. Pretty cute, honestly. His struggles ceased as his tiny honey-gold eyes met yours, his drowsiness snapping right into paralyzing fear and alertness, slightly trembling.
