Nathair only seemed angrier, at Leana’s words, and her shoulders slouched.

“Stupid princess,” he murmured. And… it honestly hurt worse than her hand.

You don’t… have to remain a snake… Leana pressed her eyes shut, and sucked in a long breath. But do you want to? Really? She’d never considered there were those… who truly wanted to be evil. Who wanted to be cruel. Until the war. Until all the senseless cruelty she’d witnessed. She struggled to push words out, her voice wobbling a bit as she held down tears. “But… I thought you said… you didn’t like your name?” The hesitant hurt in your eyes, at the meaning of your name, when I said it..? I saw. I thought… alaihtimalat.

Nithel tried not to gag, when Alessio picked it up and the thing crawled on his hand, and jerked away from him. Scooting what he hoped was a safe distance.

“I’m sorry Mr. Spi-is it a boy or a girl?” He asked, “It won’t get hurt if I throw it, righ-?”

“Not out the window!” Angry Lady roared, causing Alessio to flinch aaaand drop the spider.

Nithel does give a gaggy/gasp thing, springing onto a couch from the floor as the spider sailed through the air.

“I have a jar! And it has a lid.” Search spoke. “You can put it inside with some…leaves from the foundation. Inside this jar. Now.”

Nithel’s too distracted to wonder what a ‘jar’ is, or look at the strange thing. Instead keeping an eye on the bug.

“I’m sorry!” Alessio stammered and backed into Nithel, who jumped a bit at the touch.

He pulled in a shaky breath. It’s just Alessio. 

*Ohel howls in panic* He flings his foot in a panic, and the spider flies through the air. Ohel flies onto the couch, shoving aside Alessio and scrambling to climb on Nithel’s shoulders. “Stand up! Get up, you baffoon. It might get me!”

Don’t shove Alessio! Or anyone. Nithel almost kersplats off the couch, but manages to right himself on the squishy surface, somehow. He looked at Alessio with a slightly stunned, slightly worried look. I couldn’t walk at this age. Not. Not if I’m where I think I am. Bad. Bad idea. 

“MOVE.” Ohel barked.

*spider lands/crawls on someone else*
