"Tall [i]for my age[/i]"? I think that's really only tall for your age at like...under 10 years old. I know a guy who was over 6' in 7th grade. Two, in fact. Tim and Shawn. Still talk to Shawn sometimes. Over 7' now, though.

But that's not the important part! The important part is that you feel welcome! Welcome~
I do hope you enjoy yourself. It would be tragic for a monster to be grumpy, because then there'd be a knight who'd come and slay you. And that's no fun for anyone.
