for the first time since they'd met, Spider's expression turns cold. they begin to wriggle in earnestness now, trying to throw the bigger boy off. "don't touch that," they hiss, a new venom entering their voice. then they freeze, surprised at their ability to even make that sound. they've never heard themselves so...furious. "my Dad gave me that," they continue, quieter, a touch of apology in their voice; they hadn't meant to snap, hadn't realised they even had that particular sensitive spot. "it was a gift. from Bas." hopefully Strai was still intimidated by Bas and would back off now; they weren't above getting Bas involved if he tried anything. what was the point of having a big scary Dad if you couldn't take advantage of it?

their thoughts are disrupted by Strai's reaction to Delphi's name, eliciting a squeak of true alarm. real fear courses through them, and they churn their hind legs in a desperate attempt to throw him to the side. "i...don't know what you're talking about!" they protest, gritting their teeth. this boy was crazy; they couldn't believe they'd actually played tag with him! younger them had had a death wish! "what tail? i didn't even notice her tail!" it might've been bobbed, but their memory was fuzzy...and why did Strai think they'd done it, anyway?! "do i look like i just go around...ngh...cutting people's tails off?!"
