more to me

“N-no…I mean yes- I mean-“ Spider squeezed his eyes shut as he sputtered out an answer. For once Echo couldn’t answer for him, they had only just met and the bird still hadn’t met Natiel. Spider took a deep breath and opened his eyes slowly “I l-l-live in the S-s-s-south with my f-f-friend” He still stuttered but his answer had at least been clear, which he supposed was progress.

He had considered returning to the garden where he had met the black god, considered gathering more of the herb the god had given him, but upon reflection deemed the effects of the herb too inoculating. Besides that he was admittedly afraid he would run into the god again, that the god would spite him or…worse…That the god would charm him into his arms again, that he might lose his sense of time and find himself lost in another male’s thick fur. Just the thought made him feel flustered.

He shook out his neck and smiled wanly at the man. “A-a-and y-y-yourself?”
