( lace seemed shocked. )

... hah, you'd want me to see your true face...?

( it wasn't something any normal bug would get the privilege of. how strange, of hornet to do something like this for someone like her. she ponders it for a moment. )

... i suppose, if you're willing.
October 4, 2025 at 6:52 PM
hah-- well...

it's something to be expected of me. i'm still made of silk, after all...

( something she loathed. something she couldn't change. but... considering hornet enjoys it...? )

... i'm... glad. you like that.

( another squeeze of hornet's hand, looking up to her with a gleeful expression. )

... shall we... get going, then?

... together?

( lace had felt a similar sentiment. the affection hornet had shown her, it was something that was REAL. something that she didn't deserve, being an empty vessel. )

( but hornet being here made her feel wanted. )

( she takes a deep breath, and a lets out a sigh. )

( she just saw hornet about to sacrifice herself and thought of it to be foolish. her life was not for her mother's to take. )
October 3, 2025 at 11:06 PM
realize...?

( lace would tilt her head. what, exactly, did she help with? she doesn't realize how important she really was. )

like you said ... i almost brought this whole kingdom down with my... stunt. i'm not sure what exactly i did... 'helped.'

( not like she cared to help. )

( lace isn't sure why hornet feels the need to be attached to her either-- but... )

( it's not unwelcome. hornet's presence is... comforting. soothing. )

( she closes her eyes... a sign of trust. )

... hm.
October 1, 2025 at 11:23 PM
( ah... that sweetness, it was almost overwhelming for lace. looking down, thinking... it really isn't her reaction hornet is fishing for, is it...? )

mmh. but why?

( she's still an empty shell. )
September 30, 2025 at 11:27 AM
( but this... felt like it mattered, more. )
September 30, 2025 at 11:22 AM
i, understand. i thought pale children like us would have forgotten about such sentimentality over our time.

yet...

( here they were, sharing that. a gentle squeeze of her hand again. )

( it was so unfamiliar. the love she felt before, from her mother, felt so hollow before. )

( lace would look down, thinking to herself. why was she so special? why did so many care if she was saved? so much so to bring the kingdom she's wandered the halls of down upon her? to dive deep into the inky void for her? )

( ... )

( she pushed that aside. a small laugh. )

( lace was quite soft on her own, as well. she was made of silk, after all. )

( arms gently wrapping around hornet, pressing herself into the spider. trying to find out how to describe the feeling she's getting in her chest. are those... butterflies? )

... it's nice.
September 30, 2025 at 10:47 AM
so if you're hoping to see that, you may be sorely disappointed.

( her body language would indicate that she would have been by now, though. )
September 30, 2025 at 10:44 AM
hmph.

( hornet has her there. lace knows she is a bug that's very determined to get the outcome she wants. )

( and that so happened to be embarrassing her. unfortunate! crossing her arms... )

i suppose you don't. my shell can't blush to your compliments, though, you know?

September 30, 2025 at 10:44 AM
( she's not someone to be trusted. she's a betrayer, manic, a hollow shell of a child to a god. )

( but cautiously, she does offer her hand for hornet to reciprocate. )

i liked that feeling, too.
September 30, 2025 at 10:39 AM
you do?

( lace did not think hornet would become so soft so easily to her presence. )

haha, you... put a lot of faith in someone like me, don't you, spider?

( not like she's intending to break their trust, it's just that... )

( she doesn't know what to do with it. )

[lace sees herself as a broken vessel BECAUSE she could never be a "child" forever. something like that. i'm not that amazing at explaining all of this]
September 28, 2025 at 10:00 PM
[long story short people calling lace a quite literal child when 1) she is forced into that role of being a child to grandmother silk. and 2) she has existed within pharloom for as long as the citadel has existed. ]

( lace would see it-- the rustling foliage. eyes locking, and tracking, preparing herself in a defensive stance... )

( she hears the heavy footsteps and puts her prepared motion into action. moving to clash claw against pin, to parry the beast's blow and knock them off guard to riposte--! )
September 28, 2025 at 3:38 PM
[ nc ]

( falling to her knees dramatically. looking at the ground in horror. )
September 28, 2025 at 3:07 PM
hmph. you are an elusive one, i know that much.

but... fine.

( lace slowly, hesitantly approaches, unsure of what to do with her arms in this situation, so... )

( awkwardly opening herself up for hornet to hug her. )
September 28, 2025 at 3:06 PM
you--?!

( lace slightly uncovers her face, to look at hornet again. )

you really mean that...?
