although initially surprised by the owl’s appearance, Spider has always erred more on the side of curiosity than caution, and there’s something familiar about this creature. so Spider follows the owl at a dutiful trot, letting it lead them from Armada lands. by the time they reach the wall, however, a pale shape already seems to be retreating. Spider halts mid-step, blinking slowly. they know that figure, know the broad line of its back and the slant of its shoulders. Astraios. picking up their speed, Spider crosses the final stretch between them.
“Strai.” their voice is soft, a mixture of caution and hope. it’s been a while since they’ve seen their friend, and the sight of him sends a bittersweet pang through their chest. “it’s good to see you.” but the longer they look, the more obvious it becomes that something isn’t quite right. there’s something…troubled about the way Strai holds himself. an unease, perhaps. “is everything okay?”
