The little spider didn't know where he was anymore. He'd crawled around without his family for quite some time and he was having a nice time jumping from low hanging branches and munching on the little insects he caught unaware. However, after some time of doing this, he realized he was horribly bored. He wanted some friends. What good were bugs to bunch on when you didn't have any friends? None at all, he thought. So, he moved around his legs and tried to smell anyone that might be nearby. That was when he found the border. Clearly someone didn't think he should cross it. He wanted to know why. His thoughts had long since moved on from his brothers and sisters and his mother. Last time he'd seen them, they hadn't been in such a good situation which was why he'd fled. Some sort of big animal was trying to disrupt their web and he wasn't sure what happened. He had thought they'd all be behind him but they were nowhere to be found.

The little boy tried not to think about that too much, though. No, that was too sad. He knew how fragile his kind was but he wasn't going to be like that. His family wasn't like that. No, everything was fine. He was sure of it. He just needed to focus on having fun and finding friends. "Hellooooo?" he held out the word, allowing it to dip in tone and pitch as he did so. "Is anybody here?" His tiny voice seemed to somehow stretch beyond his tiny form. "I'm Matty and I'm looking for some friends."

Oh! There were so many people now! All eight of his tiny eyes lit up in excitement and he straightened himself, a wide smile on his face. This was wonderful! Even though the first boy talked about not wanting friends, he was sure he'd be able to convince them to be his friend. "Everyone needs some friends! Is anyone supposed to really be anything? I just know I don't wanna be alone and I heard there was a group here so I thought this would be a good place to meet some people!" he explained happily. Then another new person came and argued that he shouldn't be able to talk. "We do too! It isn't our fault no one listens!" he huffed. Then came the last individual, who perhaps had the most expected reaction. Matty raised his forelegs, trying to indicate to the creature that she should calm down. "No, no, no! Don't worry! I'm not gonna hurt anyone, I promise!"

Amunet is going to kill him. She is so going to be pissed at him. She has already smacked the blind cougar for venturing out by himself once, she probably thought he would have learned his lesson then. But despite that, the male was slowly padding through the territory, ears pricked up as he listened carefully for every kind of sound. Amunet might think he's being reckless, going out blindly, pun intended, without her. But in actuality, he's just trying to get used to the territory. He's trying to learn it, memorize almost every detail of it. It is not an easy task, it would be much easier if he didn't live in such a dark, empty world. He probably should do this task with Amunet by his side, he knew she wouldn't mind considering she basically became his caretaker. As he was padding around, his ears picked up the voices of his clanmates, and a stranger. His senses were slightly heightened due to his loss of sight, so he could pick up some words. Such as spider and it talks.

A talking spider? Well, Vladimir didn't know spiders could talk either, so this was quite interesting. He always thought spiders and other bugs could never talk, and that they could not learn the language other animals spoke. He seemed to be wrong. Padding with caution, the blind male followed his clanmate's scent, and was brought to the scene. He couldn't pick up the scent of the spider, it was kind of hard to smell a scent on something so small. He stood near Belladona, looking around cluelessly. He had no idea where to look, a spider was so small, and it didn't help that he couldn't see. "You arrre spider, Matty? Vherrre arrre you- apologies I cannot see- I don't vant to step on you." He said with his thick Russian accent, staying put as his ears flattened to his skull. "I Vladimirrrr Murrrrdock."

The tiny creature's eyes widened when someone new came. He spoke in a funny way but Matty liked it. They were going to be best friends, he decided. When the man went on to say he couldn't see, Matty had the best idea in the whole wide world. "Yes, I am! N' don't worry! I have an idea!" the spider arachnid announced before hurrying forward and scurrying up Vladimir's leg and then, should he be successful in the first motion, crawl up to the top of his head. "There! Now you'll never step on me and we can be best friends forever and ever! I can even give you directions! 'Cause I have eight eyes n' you don't have any and I'm so little that sometimes people might step on me so if I just ride around on your head, that'd fix everything!" Excitement leaked into the child's tone. He was sure he'd make lots of friends but he was sure he'd just met his first one. "Your voice sounds cool! I like it! Can you teach me how to sound like that too?"
