Tiff found herself waving numbly in response to the king's words, too dazed to really put up any sort of resistance to something so childish. She probably should. This was probably racist in some way she wasn't really thinking about. Most things involving her size tended to be.
Mostly though, she was kind of incredibly terrified! Was Bridget actually going to leave her with him?? In his arms??
Which, speaking of, he looked down at her with that terrifying, sharp-edged smile that was much much closer than she really would have preferred, and Tiff practically felt her soul escape from her body. "Ah," she started, thinking about perhaps turning that sound into something resembling a 'yes' or possibly a 'maybe' or if she was feeling bold a request to stop being held like a child, but then he kept going and she had to focus on that question now.
"Halflings are. Actually kind of sturdy?" Why did it come out as a question. It wasn't meant to be a question, but that lilt had entered her voice at the end and turned it into a question and now she was vaguely annoyed about it. Fantastic. "So... no, I think I'm okay?"
She really wanted him to stop holding her. Could that be a thing she could ask him to do? Wasn't that something Bridget had said she could do? Glancing over at Bridget, hoping for some kind of help, she paused as she watched her engage with the variety of children that were present, for some reason. That was cute. And her reassurances that she was coming back were helpful as well, though it would probably be for going to the dungeon. Less ideal.
Whatever the case, it bolstered her enough to take a breath, shifting her attention back to the King reluctantly. "Um," she started, her voice wavering slightly, "can I request to... be put down, please? Maybe?" She really needed to stop talking in questions.
