"Cool," he sighed, letting out a rattling breath he didn't realize he was holding. Muscles refused to unwind, however. Not with Aurum around. But the motherly disposition of Itsy helped slightly. Who would've guessed that two giant spiders could ease his short-circuiting nerves? He glanced over the both of them, humming lightly in thought. Maybe... they would mate. Eventually. Like on those nature documentaries he blankly watched into the morning hours, eyes ringed with shadows and stinging from blue light.
But didn't the females cannibalize the males once their business was done? His stomach turned at the thought of his newest and eight-legged friend being eaten, his guts liquidized and slurped out by that unseen spidery mouth of his lover in a cruel example of Mother Nature's dark side. If that was the case, he didn't want to see any spider egg sac around following the disappearance of Abathur. Even if the babies were cute.
Sucking in a sharp breath, the boy shifted his attention back to seeds and gardening, although he couldn't chase away the nagging idea of spider sex even as he asked, "What types of seeds do you want? Like herbs, flowers, fruit, veggies... or do you just want random ones?" Both he could follow through, although his arbitrary selection favored the more eye-catching and aromatic of blooms along with practical herbs.
