He found himself becoming aware of how seamlessly Spider responded to emotional things. They comforted and congratulated without thought. Did Spider really want this friendship? He would never be able to return the favour,  not effortlessly. "Yeah, she's… she's a warrior, she's pretty epic." He agreed.


It wasn't the first time Spider had mentioned a tree house, but it was the first time he'd cared. "Maybe I will, Bylgja is working on getting me a proper rank. Maybe I'll be able to visit you for once" he suggested. 


When Spider asked if he meant it - this friendship - he sighed. "Yeah, I do. I'm all in, Spider." It was clear it was far too late to back out. He was stuck with Spider now.
