that stereotypical 'i just can't wait!'

Anyone had to hand it to the lad. He listened, didn't wiggle but did pick up a few things. Despite best intentions to be friendly to his own blood, she was having none of it. The little remark at the end caused him to roll his eyes. "If I'm small when I'm older" Imp proclaimed "that means I gotta work harder to punt anyone who makes fun of me!" Obviously. He wasn't a slouch. He would work hard to his keep the best he could. If Habari didn't appreciate it, then he'd go somewhere else.

"Well" Imp said after a heartbeat, focusing on what Widow had said about being different "I don't care if you're different" he blurted out randomly "that just makes you more interesting" And that was a big word for a kid his age, mind "maybe one day you'll be... ve-no-mos? Like a spider!" That's what she meant by 'deadly' right? How could a stupid little spider be deadly without venom? Unless you were stupid enough to swallow it! "anyway, bye!"

He blurted out, half-conscious of her desire to not associate with him and also just bored by this point. Ah, the short attention span of a kid... "I'm going to find a spider to show Ma!" he blurted out, turning and darting back to the den. There had to be lots of spiders along the way! /exit
