[He continues on tasting his tea, and appears to be calm.
That is, because he is willing himself to stay calm, for he usually sees it as a personal slight about people looking at his size and assuming he was always so small.]
Not in this world, of course. BREW made me small so as to fit the dimensions of the city. Before coming here, the only time I was ever indoors were the days immediately after my hatching. Then, I was considered to be too big to stay inside the Captain's cabin in the ship.
If you must know, I was actually around one-hundred and fifty-five feet long, with a perfectly proportionate wingspan. I could personally carry around one-hundred men aside from my own crew that numbered in the thirties such as the ground crew, the bellmen and the topmen, not including the runners and look-outs.
But here... I am only around one-eighth of my original size, only able to carry two people at the most, or three children if the need arises.
[Here, he looks a bit sullen, for he certainly does miss being his own normal size.]
