"No need for apology," he said, locking down Roy with all of his eyes. He was such a young child (probably? maybe? he definitely had a youthful sense about him), and yet he was afraid of asking questions - what kind of person could possibly inflict such a crippling fear on someone like that? Abathur was deeply offended on the child's behalf, glancing over at Aurum with two of his eyes. He acted awfully close to the child - perhaps he had adopted him? That would explain how... cuddle-y the fearful one was with him. Regarding Roy fully once more, the spider began to speak.
"Question was not rude - regardless of policy, however, no question should warrant apology. Do not fear curiosity." With anyone else he would not have cared that much, but he could... empathize with that fear, that feeling of being on the verge of abandonment, unable to explore the world around you to your fullest. Truly, Tanglewood was a godsend for allowing him those luxuries, and he found himself softening his usual lack of care for the denizens of the clan he was in. "Yes, self enjoys reading," he continued, the cool tone of his voice not disrupted by his strange personality development, "Enjoy learning about how world functions - would like to write book like these in future." Before turning back to the suddenly arduous task of getting his books over to the table, he realized he forgot to answer the most easily answered question of all. How silly of him.
"And yes, inhabit form of giant spider. Would subject..." He hesitated, realizing he didn't actually know the boy's name, before continuing regardless, hoping he would fill in the blanks. "Do you have further questions?"
