[ He nods - so many, yes and moves to his little bedding/nest area to sit cross-legged while Henry does his observing. ]

Eat dumb flies... [ this gets a heh heh heh heh chuckle out of him. He can appreciate them for that. Sometimes he's sat close to their webs and watched as they wrapped up their meals, leaving them to be devoured later. He supposes they are small, with small bellies, and cannot eat it all at once. ]

[vecna]

That's exactly what they do. Devour pests... Back home, they're an important part of any ecosystem.

[It's murmured, though, and he's not entirely sure he should expect Nanaue to understand; though maybe inherently, he does. A predator eats its prey, simple as that.

He's quiet for a moment, observing, and appreciating the sheer number of them. Eventually, though, Henry turns his head to look at his companion, who's settled down nearby.]

I have a collection of my own, too. I keep them in glass jars, though.

[nomnoms]

Uhhhh...

[ He seems confused again. ]

No let out?

[ Why keep them in jars? How can they get the flies? ]

[vecna]

Sometimes. But they're like pets.

[No, that's not right, he thinks. He eases a hand towards one of the webs, gentle and patient. Once he's earned the curiosity of a spider, one that skitters onto his fingertips, he stands and faces Nanaue again.]

Or maybe more like... friends that I want to keep close.

[nomnoms]

Glass home...

[ Glass home for friends. He watches the spider crawl onto Henry's fingers and eyes him curiously. ]

No squaaasssh.

[ Yes, that is probably a good way not to squash your friends by accident if you're keeping them close. ]
