“Ahh.” Strai said in understanding, fully appreciating why Spider had looked so nervous and jumpy when he had approached them now. Perhaps they’d also been a little afraid they’d fall into the water when they startled. Perhaps it would have been better if they had. He glanced over at Spider speculatively. How angry would Spider be if he pushed them in? There was only one way to get over your fears, and that was to face them. His mother hadn’t been afraid to push him into confronting his own, either. So perhaps that was what Spider needed.
“Exposure therapy is probably your best bet” he said speculatively. Because he had comforted Spider he was in range and close to them. Moving as quickly as he could, so he could get the jump on Spider before they could realise what he was up to, he pushed. Attempting to shove Spider into the water. Because of the force of his momentum, Strai was going to end up following Spider into the water (or falling in alone if Spider evaded him)
