When the giants were working in the fields, they didn't spend too much time together. There was a lot of work to focus on, a lot they had to finish before sundown, which was earlier and earlier each day. However, they did see each other at certain points throughout the day. And what they all noticed that day was how happy Richard seemed. Other times, he acted cold and distant; some of the giants - like James, the smallest of the bunch - even found him intimidating at times, due to his height and off-putting personality. But not today. Richard had the smile of someone holding a secret, and there was a spring in his step.
What they didn't notice was the reason for Richard's changed energy. And they couldn't, really. It was small, and it was hidden.
It was Jack. Beneath Richard's foot. Inside Richard's boot.
No. All the other giants knew was that Richard seemed... happy.
