Here again

Spider continues to feint and dodge, but their defences are quickly worn down, and they grow more frazzled with every moment. Strai seems determined, and they know how stubborn he can be. “this could start trouble for Hemlock,” they protest, hoping to appeal to Strai’s logical side. he can’t want Delphi’s new throne threatened by Bas, surely? but then…will Bas even notice they’re gone? they quash the thought, unwilling to let it distract them. of course he will.

Spider is dodging so briskly now that they’re almost tripping over themselves. Strai’s herding them, they realise, rather belatedly. they’re more than a bit trapped. Spider lets out a squeak of surprise as his teeth find purchase, thrashing against his grip. still, just as Strai isn’t trying to hurt them, neither can they bring themselves to harm Strai. when their paws bat against his larger form, it’s without claws, just a light attempt to push him away. “this isn’t the way, Strai.” a final plea to see reason.
