A Dream of Spring

"Talk" Walk

Gaze shifted between Shaye and Spider, his ears twitching slightly forward as he listened. Okay, he had to admit this guy was a little strange. Scared, even. But what did he have to be scared of? Shaye was nice as far as he could tell, and he simply couldn't understand why the guy looked so fearful. And when Shaye asked him to keep Spider company, he nodded. "Uh-huh!" He puffed out his chest, taking on a more friendly demeanor as he laid his head on his paws. Maybe Spider wouldn't be afraid if Ignis made himself look smaller. Or tried to, anyway. Crimson gaze watched the hole, watching Spider.

You fuck everything up. Um...what? Ignis stared at Spider in confusion, wondering if that had been meant for him and Shaye, or just him, or just her, or...what. He wasn't aware that Spider was talking to himself, or that he maybe had something wrong with him. If he could even call it that. He was more curious about Spider the more he watched them. And while he wanted to try and make friends, he wasn't sure what the next course of action was. Should he...talk to him? Leave him alone? Just...sit there and offer his company? Ugh, he kind of wished his uncle was here...he'd know what to do. "So...Spider, right? That's a cool name." Alright, small talk it was.
