I'm not making fun of you, I'm laughing at an observation: YOU'RE A BIG WEENIE.
[Heather had never been too scared of bugs and buglike things in general. Still laughing like there was no tomorrow, she staggered up off of her chair, still clutching her middle with one hand, and approached the confused baby bug.]

[The Spinarak paused in his attempts to infiltrate this Shadow Moses of table-based forts, turning to heather and crawling up her leg to perch on her shoulder.]

Awww, it's just a baaaabyyyyyy.
[And then came the bad fake German accent.]

[This is the face of the calm before the massive panic attack in five seconds.]

[She decided to back away. Very quickly. In case he decided to flail.]

[Too bad Otacon forgot how to do it.]
[THUD. He is now out cold on the floor, baby spider skittering over to sit on his chest.]

Snake, do you think love can bloom even on a battlefield~?

Uh-- yeah! Jeez, you okay man?
[Quickly-- though also gingerly, she might not have been afraid of the little spider but she didn't want to get bitten, just in case-- she scooped the Spinarak up and off of its very faint trainer.]
