Nathair stared out the window after Alessio. Assumably he could stand safely, he always did.
As the spider grew, Nathair side-eyed the creature, seemingly immortal. It probably had a weakness of some sort, but the boy had already decided he was doomed to get killed again. So he just watched what everyone else was doing.
Panicking. They were panicking…wow that’s helpful…
“BURN!” Mr. Woodwall? Woodsomething was screaming as Burn snatched free some strange object-
“BURN!” Smoke hissed through the air enough to blind everyone though…Nathair could still see a small red glow from each person’s chest. That was always uncanny and it came with an even more intense drive to hunt.
“BURN! STOP THIS INSTANT!”
“Not the fell wolf Burn! Can we not go with the fell wolf?”
Everything was grey and distorted even after everyone else was moving on. Presumably, he didn’t know. He…couldn’t remember what was going on. Everything got hazy before it happened. They were going to attack he had to kill them it was that or he was going t- It was black and garbled, their laughter, spots of blood. He didn’t really know what had happened now he used that memory and now it’s just a shadow in his brain, a gut reaction and a remanent of the different details he hadn’t expended.
For several seconds everything was blurry and Nathair nearly screamed in pain.
Then it cleared and the room was…strange, but he recognized it.
Burn jumped out the window.
People started yelling and Search leapt out the window after Burn…
Was…he supposed to fight the spider while everyone else ran…?? It didn’t really occur to Nathair to run or…do anything that wasn’t directly ordered… So he just stared at the spider and tried not to think about anything.
Until it too sprang out the window after its victims…
Nathair peered over at the window for several seconds as the cacophony continued all around him…
“…Are you going to jump out the window too…?” Nathair asked Leana, completely sincere. He was trying to figure out if this was what they were doing now…
