Description Being a giantess has its advantages. But it also has its downsides. Namely, that some amenities just can't be had at the proper scale.....

Oh I'm sure she could fit inside a circus tent.

I was thinking of something along these lines a little while ago. About how a giant's "house" might in fact be more like a 4 post bed but with proper walls and a roof instead of curtains around it. As in it's mainly just a place to sleep and shelter from the rain.

Yeah, but a circus tent would be expensive for just one traveller, and would probably take an inordinate time to set-up each evening...

The bed/house seems like a kind of neat idea. Sometime, I've got to get around to drawing some of the giantesses of Vistallah taking refuge in someone's barn/hay-shed...

Well, you'd only have to set it up when it rains. Also I'd tend to think if you could afford to feed a giantess you could afford a tent for her. ^_^

Man: Are you alright?
Ogryn: Yes, master. It's fine, don't worry about me.
Man: Do, uh, they even make tents for people of...your size?
Ogryn: Possibly. I've heard that they are made at high price at the shipyards. They use sails for the cloth, and masts as the supports. But they are very expensive, and usually considered not worth it to keep an ogryn dry.
Man: I see. Um, I might know something that might make you feel better. Could you go sit at the entrance of the tent?
Ogryn: *moves and sits down* Like this?
Man: Almost. Try spreading your legs and, uh, blocking the entrance.
Ogryn: ...*smirks* You mean like this? *scoots until her crotch is right in front of tent entrance*
Man: Perfect. Just sit right there, I'll take it from here.
Ogryn: Oh, master, you are too good to me.

Daaww, maybe she should try crawling into the tent.

Well, her master might feel a little crowded if she tried that...

Yeah, most Ogryns lead pretty tragic lives....

Well at least with that body size she should be less vulnerable to temperature extremes then a human. So she couldn't feel cold or hot in as many environments. I have to suspect that the rain would fill different to them as well. The droplets would seem even smaller and perhaps feel as if they're hitting with less force. I wonder how that might change the experience. Would rain simply feel like a heavy fog?

She can certainly take it--Ogryn are built pretty tough, plus there's the size thing you mentioned--but she'll be pretty miserable. Even if the size/thickness of the water is scaled down, being wet all over is still being wet all over...

She best get used to it if she's going to be traveling. That or learn to travel using paths that take them to areas that could shelter her.
