Helen was in her glories! She was seated out at the campfire, gathering as many of the spiders and the creepy-crawlies that were in range to her so that she could check them all out. This meant that her lower half was mostly covered with the things trying to get close to her, while she held several of the others lovingly to examine them.[Open

Sam was heading through the cabin area when he saw Helen by the campfire. He stopped and stared at her for a moment before rushing over. "Helen? Are you okay? Do you need help?"

Helen beamed at him. "No, I'm fine. Look at them, aren't they wonderful! I've never seen so many different kinds!"

"You...you like spiders?" Sam asked, looking more confused even as the realization hit him.

She nodded, still beaming. "Almost all bugs actually. And they listen to me and do what I say. So do snakes. Oh, and sharks. Look."

She sent a small contingent of the spiders careening off in a pattern before letting them come back.

"They make me happy," she said simply.
