A few bites, and likely a little bloodloss with it, but hardly of any concern.

... Unless they're like Uncles, at which point there may a few spiders now acquiring a love of musicals and mastery of language.

[I seem to remember some other side-effects too...

...Oh god...]

Healed? Completely?

[The next person captured might not have an arm left out, no. :D]

What's left should be gone and faded by tomorrow.

I'll hold you to your word on that.

[This time when he reaches up, it's not to apply violence, but to wrap an arm around his neck and pull him into a hug.]

I'm sorry.

[He goes with it easily, returning the embrace after a moment of hesitation. ... And a moment later you can FEEL him relax.]

You are quire the idiot you know. [A laugh.]

[Well good. Staying like that, then.]

It takes an idiot to know an idiot.

It makes it a suitable arrangement.

[Relenting his grip, since even the pressure of holding a hug is tiring, but seems content to just lean on him]

I'd have to agree.

...

Thank you, as ever, for taking care of her.

[That's okay, I can keep up my half near indefinitely.]

It isn't something that requires that. After all, she and I are co-conspirators in helping you enjoy life. It would be severely curtailed by either of us being rash about this.

[It's not quite a laugh...more of an exhausted chuckle]

Conspirators...how underhanded...

But you go with my gratitude regardless of whether you require it or not.
