"Well, why do you think I climbed all the way up here, Richard?" Tara says, giggling down at the tiny man in her palm. "I'd like you to take a look inside, tell me what you can see in there. What little bugs are up to when no-one's looking. You'll see what no-one has seen before, give me an edge in my paper! How's that sound?"
She jiggles the hand a little bit, and you wobble while she smiles, willing to subject you to discomfort simply for a moment's levity. And how much worse is her expecting you to risk your life crawling into a dark hole to perhaps give her a marginally higher grade?
But maybe she's not being that callous. It's difficult to read the expression of a being that immense, micro-expressions ironically being harder to make out for a three-eighths inch man.
Still, she is waiting for your response, which is surely a good sign, right?
