[SE] The itsy bitsy spider

Everest

Finding something infinitely endearing about the fact that Hadama, King of the merfolk and Torchline, had remembered enough to poke holes for the spider however adversarial it was to his establishment, filled Everest with a sense of relief and safety that had his shoulders sliding slowly down and away from his ears.

Raising his eyebrows however as a storm appeared, all thoughts of safety disappeared as he held his breath. It seemed distraction rather than destruction was the King's aim, and soon the small creature was enclosed within the jar. 'I...I think so, yes.' He agreed a touch stiffly, reaching out for the jar and peeping into it to ensure that there were no hidden storms within the glass.

"I should go then. I wouldn't want it to have to remain enclosed for very long. But thank you very much, and if I find out a way to make the webbing at all workable, Torchline shall be the first to hear of it." Ever promises, offering Hadama a small smile before picking up the bit of driftwood. 'A pleasure to meet you.' He adds quickly, before setting off back the way he'd come toward Flora's tavern and the small skyship parked nearby.
