[Talia really just wanted to get down to the stables, nose deep in her journal as she listens and reads past entries. She was not expecting to leave her room and come nearly face to web with any number of delicate weavings throughout the hallway. She only just missed stepping on any number of the arachnids, trying her best to avoid doing so for

[Skittering along the wall comes Patty, his larger than usual spider legs running before launching him across the hall to the opposing wall. Spying Talia, he halts and then slowly creeps closer, black eyes staring at the woman with interest.]

[thequeensown]

[You ever get that feeling that you're being watched? Like, especially when you're in a dark hallway filled with spiders and spider webs? Yeah, well Talia is getting this uber creepy vibe right about now. She rubs the bite on her hand and then ignores it, frowning as she looks around the hallway.

However the quick scan shows her nothing more than webs and spiders of various sorts. She bends to retrieve her journal, having dropped it when getting tangled up. She catches a bit of motion on the wall and stops, squatting as she lifts her gaze and looks again. Her eyes widen slightly as they finally find and settle on a slightly off color shape on the wall.]

Havens ..

[She slowly begins to rise back to her feet, hand moving to one of the scimitar-like swords at her hips. She merely rests her hand on its hilt, not yet drawing the blade.]

You are a bit larger than your fellows ..

[nopattythepider]

[Her hair. It's so damn pretty and red. The spider climbs up the wall so he's on eye level and reaches from his wall with his front two legs to her hair.]

[thequeensown]

[Talia eyes the arachnid as it begins to not only move toward her, but move up the wall to head level. Her eyes widen, but she cannot back any further away than she has, a series of webs behind her blocking the way. She turns back to it, mind opening and brushing at its own as its legs rise and touch her hair, earning a soft strangled sound from her.

She can't know if it will garner anything, but big fucking spider reaching for her hair! :O]

[nopattythepider]

[He catches a lock and brings it to his face, tiny mouth curving upwards. That's right Talia, the spider is smiling at you. And then he inspects her hair, feet jittering on the spot in apparent excitement. Moments away from rubbing his face on it, the spider catches sight of the bite on her hand. Immediately, he lets the hair go.

Dropping to the ground, the spider points at her hand. The smile is gone. Oh dear.]

[thequeensown]

[Talia's nostrils flare and she does her absolute best to not jerk away. Haven knows what dislodging the spider will do, other than having it possibly fall to the floor at her feet. Big ass spider on the ground, rushing around her? Umm .. Not so sure how she feels about that, really. :|

As it is, she pauses, brows knitting together as the spider seems genuinely more interested in examining her hair and .. yes .. wait is it? Smiling at her????]

You .. [Her brows rise again, as apparently this not so little spider is far more sentient and intelligent than others might suspect. He was apparently rather taken by her hair, which was surprising and adorable and OMG WHAT WAS IT DOING NOW?!!!!!

She makes a small sound of surprise as he drops her hair and drops to the floor, backpedaling a step. However, he does not advance, seeming alarmed as he lifts one of his front legs and points at her. No, not her .. her hand.]

What is it, little one? [She glances down and looks to her hand, where the bite looks to have become a bit darker than it

[nopattythepider]

[Oh he knows that bite alright. Patrick bounces on the spot, pointing frantically at the bite before launching himself at the wall beside her. Once there, he starts to spin a web, working quickly and not bothering to be neat. It's a rushed job, urgency in each motion. When finished, two words are written in the web.]

GET HELP

[thequeensown]

[Talia watches the spider, her own sense of unease rising as it appears genuinely flustered and frantic about the small bite. He gestures at the mark and Talia doesn't have a chance to reply before he springs away and lands on the wall, beginning to spin.

Her hazel eyes more over the webbing and the fact that the words are legible is not surprising. It's what they say that really sets the cold into her stomach. Nostrils flaring slightly, she tightens her shields to keep from fretting Kevas. When she speaks her words are hushed and concerned..]

I had meant to go after visiting the stables .. [She looks at Patty, moving to assess the situation quickly and clinically.] How bad is this, small one? I will presume that it will get far worse if left untreated, no matter what it looks like now?

[This would make it all the worse if she couldn't find someone at the clinic..]

[nopattythepider]

[Big worried eyes stare up at her. He shakes his head at the mention of the stables and points in the direction of the clinic. At her question, Patrick spins another rough, speedy word web.]

SYCORA GO GO

[He stops a moment, breathing heavily and then adds to his message.]

:(

[thequeensown]

[Talia watches the frantic spider, her own stomach churning at the thought of what could upset it so. He jabs a foot in the direction Talia knows the clinic to be and spins a name.

'Sycora' .. the resident doctor. No, this was not good at all. She swallows around the knot in her throat, eying the bite on her hand once more.]

I will .. [She begins to make her way there, pausing a few steps away.] Thank you, little friend.. Pray you show care around some of the others .. They will not react as well to your appearance.

[She offers him a tight smile and begins off again, hurried steps carrying her toward where she knows the medic to reside. A shame there wasn't going to be anyone there .. Oh dear!]
