Too big or too small?

Too small.

Specifically, I fit inside of a modest teapot.

Are you having trouble getting anywhere? I could take you in my pocket, if you please.

You could wander among the flowers.

But then you might have to do battle with a squirrel.

Oh I don't know. I've never spoken to one before, but I imagine they would have something interesting to say.

It wouldn't be all that perilous anyway, if it was just talking.

Though...I suppose talking can be perilous in its own way.

Who is winning?

He's won today's battle, but I will win tomorrow's war.
