Subject: Height Changes

Greetings. This is Black Raisin Cookie.

Let me just preface this, as I feel I will probably always have to do, that yes, I am a Cookie.

I've been here for roughly two months now, and one thing that's become very clear is that I am perhaps one of the smallest people here. For reference, I appear to be able to fit in the palm of the average human's hand. As such, many buildings and furniture and even food are massively larger than I am.

I am aware that Dreamotion can be used to master the elements, and depending on how it's utilized, can even change one's appearance. I'm still trying to adjust to Dreamotion through rigorous daily training. But I'm still very inexperienced with it. So my question is - can it or any other form of magic here be used to change my height?

I am not asking for a permanent solution. My size can come in use. But I have to admit, taking several jumps in order to reach a table's surface can be annoying. 

I also don't wish to tire out my Raisin Crows, who often fly me long distances. 

Speaking of them, if they've taken any loose hairs of yours, I apologize for their behavior. Christmas got them overwhelmed.

I do wish for my crows to get their proper rest, but I also don't want to depend too highly upon others when I can do nothing for them in turn.

If it means helping you, then I don't need anything in response. But, uhm--

It's alright if you don't want to do that, either! I'm sure that there's another solution here for you!

[cawpatrol]

That sort of mind view is dangerous. You could taken advantage of by others. I won't allow myself to do the same.

[puellamagi]

... Do you really think that it's dangerous?

No one's ever really told me that thinking that way could end up with me getting hurt But, uhm... I think that even if they did it for those reasons, it'd be alright. All I want to do is to help others, you know?

[cawpatrol]

Someone like you probably has many friends.

Would those friends be all right with you getting hurt?

[puellamagi]

Of course not!

But... it's difficult to not help someone. I'm-- not very good at anything, so doing that much... it's something I feel that I can be proud of.

[cawpatrol]

Low self confidence and a desire to do something for complete strangers. A very dangerous combination.

[puellamagi]

I'm... I'm sorry.

Then -- what do you do when you want to help someone?

[cawpatrol]

Just because I want to help someone doesn't mean I can. I am aware of my limits, especially in this world.

[puellamagi]

Did this world take something away from you...?

[cawpatrol]

Everything in this world is impossibly huge. Where in my world, my attacks can take down monsters and enemies easily, in this one I can barely get a scratch in, due to my height.

[puellamagi]

I see... Because you were a cookie back at home!

... I know that this might be something you've already tried, but... magic here can make a lot happen! It's pretty amazing... Do you think that there could be magic that could make you taller...?
