Never be Afraid of a Little Serenade

Arachne couldn't help but laugh at her sister's musings about fish and their supposed lack of intelligence. It was moments like these that she cherished, the lightheartedness and innocence of sibling banter. She shook her head, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth. "I think fish probably have tiny brains,” she replied, her voice filled with amusement. "But who knows? Maybe they're smarter than we give them credit for.” Arachne took a step closer to Barghest, her eyes still fixed on the fish in the water. She could feel the soft mud squish beneath her paws, clumps clinging to her fur with each movement. The sensation was oddly satisfying, grounding her in the present moment.

When she was finally able to break her attention off the minnows, Arachne met her sister's gaze. "You wanna explore around the lake with me?” Arachne couldn't help but wonder what other creatures might be found around the lake. This was the furthest she had ever really been from their family's den, and she was excited to see everything. And now with her sister beside her, she felt that much more adventurous and curious.
