thankfully, in the face of a plan, Spider’s anxiety begins to deflate and excitement sweeps in to replace it. it’s hard to stay nervous in the face of Strai’s cool pragmatism and careful planning, after all. “you fought a bear?” they gasp, voice a mixture of awe and disbelief. “like, alone?” damn it, why does Strai have to be so cool? it simply isn’t fair. “always tryna one-up me, huh?” they tease, coming to a pause as they reach the stream’s edge.
they scan their surroundings, searching for an appropriate bush. “i gotta admit, this is a pretty great plan, teach.” they slant Strai a glance, biting down on a smirk. “guess you’re not as dumb as i thought.” then they scoop up a pawful of stream water and attempt to flick it at him, squealing with laughter and darting a few paces away in case he tries to retaliate. their run turns into a stumble, sending them crashing into a nearby bush. “ompfh!” they splutter, coughing up a mouthful of leaves. “ugh, gross…hey wait, what about this one?”
