What looked like enough food to feed the world sat on Sara’s plate. While it all looked good, it was a sickening amount of food for someone Jordan’s size. Jordan eyed the variety of options on Sara had, knowing he could never hope to even make a dent in it even though he wanted to try it all. Jordan watched as Sara slid her chair in before she then reached out toward Jordan and gave him several pets.
“Mom doesn’t like you on the table,” Sara whispered.
“I heard that, Sara.” Tiffany admonished. “I don’t like him walking on the table like it’s the floor. I don’t see why he can’t have his own little table.” Tiffany said as she rinsed out a pan in the sink.
“I don’t see how a small table on top of this table would be any different than him being on this table how he is now.” Sara’s father said.
“Since Mocha won’t be here any longer, it could just be on the floor. We could set it up beside the table or underneath Sara’s chair.” Tiffany said.
“He sits right next to me, Mom, and minds me really well. When I told him moments ago to stay, he didn’t even move. I promise he won’t be in any trouble. Plus, I’d be afraid of him getting stepped on if he were on the floor. He’s part of the family now. He should be eating with us, not below us.” Sara asserted as she cut a small morsel of her egg and moved her fork over to Jordan.
“I suppose,” Tiffany conceded. “However, it’s your responsibility to make sure he listens and isn’t tracking filth around everywhere,” Tiffany added. Jordan couldn’t help but notice the stark contrast in how she regarded him. The giant matriarch of the Reeves household clearly no longer saw him as an adult or equal based on how she was speaking. He was merely her daughter’s pet as she spoke over him directly to Sara.
The rumble of Jordan’s stomach drew his mind from focusing on Tiffany down to the food Sara had offered him. Even with how small the piece of egg was, it took him a couple of bites to get all the egg. It was humbling to see Sara fill her fork with a large bit of egg and devour what would have been several meals to him in a single bite. Sara took a few more bites before breaking off a tiny piece of bacon and dropping it onto Jordan’s lap as the family spoke amongst themselves.
“Do I need to do anything special to bring Jordy on the plane next month? I have him collared and chipped. He got his little shots yesterday.” Sara said as Jordan suddenly became interested in the conversation as this was the first he heard anything about a plane or trip.
“I did look into that for you. He will need his little I.D. in order to fly, but you will be able to register him under your ticket when you do your pre-flight check-in. They said you can enter his little id number in or if you are checking in with the phone app, you can use the scanner, and it will pull his information automatically when you scan his chip, collar, or both, depending on what you have.”
“What’s going on? Where are we going?” Jordan asked, looking at Sara as he took a bite of bacon.
“Thanks, Mom,” Sara said before looking down at Jordan. “Just to the beach house.” She said offhandily before cutting into her pancakes and taking what looked like a bite large enough to be him. “I’d give you some Jordy, but pancakes and waffles are way too messy for someone your size.”

1. Tiff’s really disappointing me here, she went from reminding Sara he still deserves respect to needing Sara to advocate for him to eat with them rather than below them, if I were Jordan I’d take thus as a hint to stop calling her “Ma’am” and start calling her “Tiffany”.
2. One of my my favourite parts of this fantasy is seeing comparatively huge pikes of food set down infront of tiny people, such a pity Sara’s keeping the good stuff to herself.
3. Once again Sara’s made plans involving Jordan without remembering to consulting him, unless this is the “plans” shes alluded to previously.
1. I think this is the exciting point in the story, not just that Jprden’s life is changing but people around him are changing towards him as well, its like a non stope nightmer. She isnt bing rude or anything, i think she just cant trat him like she treat a normal man, he was in her dautgher’s bed room seeing her naked, it would not make sanse to not see him as a pet, maybe she doesnt mean that she just cant hepe it.
2 agree that was a nice touch.
3 I think Sara is ackting like her mom but in a teenage mind lovel wich make her think she knows what is best for Jorden.
1, yeah but I’m curious as to why her opinion of him dropped so sharply, she was the first person to stand up for him and say “he’s still a person” after he shrank, the one he looked to hopeful she’d put astir to Sara’s nonsense and now she’s the one treating him in ways she’d previously protected him against. And I think I’d like to have seen Jordan have a bigger reaction.
2, knowing Jordan’s luck his favourite foods are the pancakes and waffles she just denied him.
3, possibly, I think she enjoys holding information over him though, having that power to disclose or not disclose as she pleases, and e joys watching his confusion and frustration over having incomplete information.
1 maybe Stiphani’s love to her teen dautgher having the “pet” she’s always wanted is getting bigger than Jorden’s feelings. I thing Stiphani is a nice person but again Jorden is now part of her family as just a ” companion animal”.
Though I agree with you completly on Jorden’s reaction, I like seeing Jorden fussing and protesting and holding on to his dignity and respect as an equal man just like her hasbend, I love it when he is always getting shocked by the new treatment and roles he’s getting every day. I wana see him jumping and protesting but all he gets a bbtalk as if the gisnt familly think its cute. Or put him again in time out.
1. I think her reasoning is that the feet he walks around on is also walking around the table where they eat. As more of a cleanliness thing then a specific slight against Jordan. As from her point of view is we wouldn’t walk around on the table where we eat or put our feet on the table. So why should he. If anything it’s probably more of a harsh equality. Although it was interesting seeing Sara defend and fight for Jordan.
2. The large bits of food is entertaining.
3. I don’t really think Sara made plans without involving Jordan. These weee already existing plans she was seeing if he could be included in.
1, If that’s really the problem Sara should have pointed out that he rarely actually touches the dirty floor and any “filth” he accumulates would mostly be from the surfaces she puts him on, or her own hands. Just promise Tiff she’ll wash his feet before putting him on the table and call it a day. Although her defending him from Tiff could prove to be a good omen about her defending him from Maisy later.
3. Oh, so was this plan already in motion before she got Jordan then?
Sara said ones (page50 i think) she wont make any changes of how she will live… that means everywhere she goes jordan will go too… so we will get an airport and plane situation as well to the beach house 😀 great stuff cant wait to see 😀
1. Harder point to make when he was also running through daytons backyard in the wild.
3. Correct. It’s a family trip they do each year
1. Somehow I don’t think Sara wants Tiff know about that, though I’d love to see her find out. And still the option of washing his feet remains, Sara should be washing her hands anyway.

Well said
God Im loving this part of the story I can keep reeding for ever, I like you decided to move us down to Jorden eye level as if we’re sitting down on the table as well, I wonder if we look up at the Reverrs looming over Jorden while thie pet him fome all the way up I wonder if that would be a mic of hot, exciting and siking scary. My best part when her father speaks too cuz this is so humiliating to interact with an ex-fellow adolt male, it almost feels like he belong to him as well not just Sara and her mom which I find intersting. A day at the beach house with this teens in bikiny and some adults to baby jorden there sound like a fun trip.
Moving the camera down to Jordan’s level was a purposeful choice. I’m glad you liked it.
I wanted to depict the family breakfast and how Jordan kind of fits in.
Jordan going on a trip should be fun.
as well as much trouble ^^
yup, got to tease a future event
Crazy how quickly Tiffany’s attitude towards Jordan took a 180 degree turn. I mean maybe I’m exaggerating but it certainly seemed out of character from the earlier accounts. Putting the poor guy on the freakin floor and out of sight for every meal would really make him feel low, out of place and not part of the family. What kind of integration tactic is that Tiffany? Good on Sara for her response.
Crazy how some people in this reality just dis-proportionally evaluate littles and the disparity between every single one of them is shocking / astounding. I’ve been trying to figure out what would compare to it in our reality as a reference but the only thing that comes close are dogs.
I keep trying to convince myself in our own reality if a Smallara outbreak happened it wouldn’t be like this one. Surely not..
But anyway I’m glad to see Jordan looking somewhat comfortable and stuffing his face. excited to see how this day unfolds and it will be fun to look forward to the beach vacation. Excellent work as always Asuka.
Actually there was something similar in the past for people who were smaller, not as small as people with smallarea but people with dwarfism were treated about the same way, I think it practically matches the people in the story to a t.
In the past, people with dwarfism were treated as rare attractions and bought and sold throughout Europe. They were used for entertainment at royal courts, adding to the carnival atmosphere at ceremonies, and providing amusement and companionship for the monarch’s children. They often served as jesters.
Good point. I hadn’t really thought about that with it being so long ago. I guess I was focused more on a comparative modern era as this story seems to reflect that. The past was certainly crazy by modern standards.
Very good points
Bare in mind how many atrocities humans across the world enact on one another. Slavery is still legal in some parts
Littles are new in this world, so morality and culture around them is blossoming, perhaps if there is a second generation of littles, by then they will be treated decently.
What shocks me is people like Maisy, Steph or Dayton, who are otherwise seeming like nice people completely flip a switch when littles are involved.
Yeah I try not to think about it.
The dissimilarity in the attitudes keep the story interesting, that’s for sure. It gets a bit frustrating but as usual I’m sure we would all like to see stricter laws in place for their rights & treatment but we’ve already had those discussions in previous panels.
I’m sure Jordan has a pretty one sided friend or foe list in his head by now. I need to work on re-acclimating myself to all the characters. Its been a while
Dogs are actually one of the inspirations for littles/underbreds. A little is woman’s best friend where a dog is mans best friend.
Tiffany’s attitude very much centered around cleanliness. She didn’t like his feet on the table and him walking around where they ate. Although Sara did defend him to her parents. She should get some credit for that.
I do sensationalize some aspects for entertainment purposes. I do think it wouldn’t be far from how things would be depicted.
This is PERFECT🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️💗💗💗💗 goddess mama SARA feeding her whittle one❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I can hear Sara say here comes the airplane making infantile noise as mrs. reeves laughs. Maybe canned baby food would be better for him at this size it’s either too hot for him or too hard to bite into. Baby paste is way simpler. Sara’s mom’s thoughts on him just love 💕 the way she thinks of him as Sara’s tiny pet should be placed on the floor bring his tiny puppy bowls down from his habitat . I love the idea especially if it’s near Sara’s bare feet 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️🦶 🦶or mrs. reeves bare feet🦶🦶 maybe he can use there toe nails as a table
Well Sara defended him for now. We will see how long Sara can win out.
