“oh!” Spider sits up, grinning, their tail beginning to thump against the ground; this is their very favourite subject. “ok, so, picture this: i’m little - shut up - like suuuper little, and i’m scared and crying because my mum just like, up and left…and in sweeps this amazing woman with kind eyes and a nice voice, and she’s all ‘why are you crying, kid?’ and of course i’m like ‘oh well my mum left and i don’t think she’s coming back’ and this woman - Hazel - she just…takes me home with her! just like that!” Spider’s tail, if possible, thumps even faster. “and then she brings me to Seer who lets me into the Armada, and then i meet Bas. he’s Hazel’s mate, and i’m scared of course, but he’s so awkward and funny that it’s hard to stay scared for very long.” they giggle to themselves as they remember how he’d been when they’d first met; uncertain, careful, half-afraid he’d crush them. looking pack, Spider recognises he’d had no idea what to do with a kid. and that realisation makes it all the more sweeter when they conclude, “and to make a long story short, they both adopted me as their own!“ cue big big smile.
