[iheardarumor]

[and head is automatically lifting as his eyes track over to the sound of that voice]

--ah. About time, Spider! I had been wondering where you'd wandered off to.

[webmd]

. . . [beelining for, steady gait, his heart in his throat.]

You appear to be whole and alive.

[iheardarumor]

Did my young and charming host have you worried?

[webmd]

He's terribly petulant, you know.

[he reaches out tentatively, touching his hand to his cheek]

[iheardarumor]

[oh.

facetouching.

also people hands.

Spider's hand, even.

there is some leaning into that, yes.]

He guards himself a bit too strongly for someone like you.

[webmd]

I did threaten to slowly digest him over the course of many years if any harm came to you.

You... you're here. You're whole.

[iheardarumor]

How sorely I must have been missed for you to threaten such a thing.

[webmd]

[his throat hitches.]

You were stolen from me and I was given no quarter to rest or mourn, cheaply forced from someone in front of me to someone I dreamed of when victory should have been all ours.

Sore to raw, you awful creature.

[iheardarumor]

[just smiles more]

Ah. Now there is an expression I've not seen in an age or two.

Do you need my shoulder to cry upon?

[webmd]

[he reaches up with his tightly-wound vine hand as well, to grip his face from both sides-- a cursory glance will tell you the vines are off, oddly textured, veined with purplish red.]

I'm not shedding tears for you now! Damn the Cave, here you are again. Consider it your inability to lose completely.

[iheardarumor]

There's no need to spare me your tears. They would be a warm comfort after so long in cold stone.

[nope, not caring about details for now. there are hands and they are for leaning into and against.]

[webmd]

Over you... I -- I haven't for my sister, for Gold, if I for you--!

[iheardarumor]

I'd take any you'd have to offer, you're well aware.

Though I greatly doubt your sister or Gold would much appreciate hearing you've stifled yourself on their behalf.

[webmd]

Not stifled. I'd no tears, only the mania of fresh air shared with them. With you gone there was nobody to be more terrible than me. There was nobody at all. I could do nothing--!

And here you are being so satisfied at how miserable I was to lose you!

[iheardarumor]

And here you are being hysterical over my being so satisfied when you've just said for yourself the use I was to you.

[oh nooo it's time for mutual face-touching... reaching out to do just that]

You are really still quite precious.

[webmd]

Caerh. You're doing this to me.

[iheardarumor]

Yes, that would be the delightful part.

[webmd]

[his face and throat wrench up and lo there's some eons-late tears welling up, though he just. stands where he is.]

Stathis sae oudenhan caerh svet who let you live again.

[iheardarumor]

[facepeeeeets because yes, that's nice]

Amusingly, a human and a god who both love humans so.

[webmd]

An awful call!

I have a very short list of those you're not to harm and I expect it to be obeyed!

[iheardarumor]

Already?

And what would you have done to me if I disobeyed?

[webmd]

My fury will be so profound I won't be recognizable.

You've plenty ways to ignite the fury you love. By being here.

[iheardarumor]

Ah. That is where you have a misunderstanding of me. Or it may have simply been much too long for you?

[facepet moving to hair-fondling]

I would like any fury you have to show.

But you may make your list and I may follow with it. Not a hair on their head shall be harmed.

[webmd]

[his hair has changed colors. it's a very wet, deep red, yet not wet.]

Or I'm desperate enough already! The tree spirit, and the woman bloodmer.

[iheardarumor]

I had thought the tree spirit would be one of them. We've met already and he was quite kind.

The bloodmer... hmm, I've met her as well, and she was very sweet.
