some animals are sensitive to changes in the weather, come rain they fly away into their nests, come winter they burrow deep into their underground lairs. others are sensitive to time passing, 19 years waiting and they hatch for just one day. yet others are sensitive to food supply, adjusting their metabolis to the availability or otherwise of water, grass, prey.
the animals in this home are sensitive to emotional adjustments. they lie dormant in the recesses under the floorboards in times of relative calm. but the second the giant is faced with turmoil or distress, then they wake up, all energy, to race across the house, nibble at leftovers, peek from underneath doorways and generally make it all much, much worse to deal with.
