Friends look out for eachother

“No, wait! Wylan said, afraid of what it would mean for their friendship if Spider walked away then. He hadn't meant it! The words had almost slipped out on sheer habit. He'd been saying it so long to everyone, to himself, like a mantra to hold onto. Afraid that if he didn't the opposite would come true.”I… I came to help.” He said quietly, trying not to put his paw in it any further. 

“And to see if you wanted stay in the treehouse for a bit” he continued, giving Spider a shy little smile. He knew going into Halos den - his childhood den- gave him mixed feelings right now. In the treehouse, Spider would have company. Kids his age. “There's always room for you under my wing.”
