warmth spreads through their chest at Hazel’s approval, and they can’t help but preen a little. she’d said it was a good goal. the child would admit, the second half of Hazel’s statement drew some confusion - asking for help could be strong? wasn’t the whole point of strength the ability to stand alone? - but maybe it was one of those things they’d understand when they were older. they’d always been assured there were many things they’d understand one day, and until then to shut up and not ask any questions about it.
at the mention of a hunt, their stomach growls louder, and Araneae stumbles eagerly to their feet. “i…don’t have much experience,” they admit, face heating in momentary shame - but the excitement of their first proper hunt quickly brings a smile to their face. “i can learn, though!” clumsy in their eagerness, they scramble to Hazel’s side and quicken their steps to match her stride, ready to follow wherever she may lead. the terror of the day still weighs heavy on their heart, but for now, they push it firmly from their mind.
