His first interaction with Ianthe shortly after he arrived was a crash-course in spiders here. Guess it's his turn to give that info to Vex. “Yeah likely, but we would absolutely have bigger — no pun intended — concerns than her feelings on it. If you see the smaller, non-venomous ones, definitely don't kill them especially if you don't see bigger ones around because the big ones sense their deaths by a pheromone. The spiders in general sense zadza, too. The spiders, when I first met them, were in town, which they never are — all around the castle walls, shortly after a Void-Touched tried to poison the Duchess, so they were .. further guarding her, I suppose, as she recovered.”
