five stars: best airbnb i’ve ever stayed in

in all the chaos of the last month - a cure for the blight being found, Bas calling them home, Spider meeting their new siblings - they’d practically rushed out of Hemlock with little more than a goodbye. but now that things have calmed down a little (read: the brats have been unleashed on the Col) Spider returns to Hemlock’s border and calls for their two best friends, a basket clutched between their teeth. nestled in its woven depths are a selection of meats, a few bottles of wine, and a handful of grapes. in short, a gift basket. really, Spider just wants to express their gratitude to Strai and Delphi for sheltering them the past season - and to update them on the state of things. Strai had been, understandably, a bit worried about them last time, and Spider wants to assure both Hemlock wolves that they’re in…well, a bit of a better place. less distraught, at least, which they have their friends to thank for.
