flora
Thoughts of grand adventures bolstered by the tang of adrenaline were fading rapidly in Flora's mind, leaving the landscape of her thoughts as cold and barren as the haunted forest the pair now found themselves in. Biting at the inside of her cheek, unable to look away from the spiders despite desperately wanting to, the Doubletake nods. Okay, she agrees. By that same token, if the Ark was gone by the time she arrived if for whatever reason they were separated, she'd take that as her cue to simply compass home. While other couples might have a I'll never leave you behind policy, Flora was quite content with splitting up if and when that proved the most logical thing to do.
Watching the Giant's muscles begin to quiver and grow slack, Flora was horrified to see its facial muscles begin to droop as the paralytic took effect.

—slow to react, Flora turns clumsily, slashing at the webbing takes some effort. Unlike regular spider silk, this is covered in a thin layer of crystal which eventually gives way, but not without a rather obvious cutting sound. Were it not for the fact that the spiders were acutely aware of their webbing, no doubt the sound alone would have clued them in such that no sooner had the captain and queen broken through than one of the spiders left its kin to the giant and began to scuttle after Flora and Jack.
[i]Throw it![i/] Her dagger, she meant; twisting and not bothering to aim, the queen threw her two daggers behind them. If they hit the spider, great. If not, when recalled she'd have three more chances.

I'm stupid but I'm clever
I can make a shitshow look a whole lot like forever and ever
