"Yeah, but... I'm kinda used to it? That feeling is why I was first so scared to go into Outer Space, even just to get the postcards. It seemed so much bigger than anything I'd ever seen before. Then I started hearing about Uncle Matt's travels, and I started seeing more and more of it, and I felt smaller and smaller..."
His voice trailed off, and he shifted his hand under hers so he could lace their fingers together. Then he glanced alongside at her, and smiled gently.
"But I figured out that feeling small is okay. It's gonna be like that from time to time, especially since out here we kinda are pretty small." A bit of a giggle in his throat, and he continued. "That just means you've got so much to do, so much to see. If you're feeling small... that's because there's so many big opportunities waiting for you."
