KIADA

Luckily for her, while there are other things that frighten her enough to not want them close to her, spiders are one that she’s certain she can handle well enough. So she doesn’t care one way or another if they try to get into her hair, though it makes it easier for her if they don’t have ill intent.

Regardless, he asks a question that she hasn’t heard in a long while, and she tosses the last little bit of webbing in front of her over the edge of the bridge before wiping her blade clean on the edge of her jacket sleeve. “I am. I arrived in Deepfrost 308.” She offers the information easily – though not without realizing that she’s spent a grand total of nearly eight fucking years here with little to show for it aside from deaths and rebirths.

It's a thought that has her withdrawing slightly, pasting on a fake smile. “And while I didn’t grow up here like you did, I feel like I’ve dealt with my fair share of LongNight traumas to ward me away from here for a while. But now and then I like to pop in and see how things are.” An attempt to lighten the mood as realization sinks into her – not wanting to get into a mood when she has handsome company.
