Spider chuckles, low and a little self-deprecating. “i guess so.” they flash a small grin, bumping Strai’s shoulder with theirs. “who would’ve thought it’d be us, huh? two scrappy pups.” their eyes light up, voice taking on an excited cadence. “hey, remember when we first met? you were all bristling like a porcupine, acting like you were gonna bite my nose off! and i made you play with me anyway.” they laugh again, this time more genuine, and some of the tightness in their chest eases. “things were simpler back then, weren’t they?” their biggest concerns back then were impressing Bas and Hazel, and gaining as many friends as possible. “Strai…i just wanna say, i’m sorry for springing my feelings on you that day. it was wrong of me. and i want you to know that you’ll always have my shoulder to lean on should you ever need it.” now that they’ve reunited with Strai, they don’t want to let their friend go again; they’ll probably need each other now more than ever.
