"I already knew what you're called," Espirit said, disdainfully. "The bond works both ways. As I am an open book to you, you are an open book to me. It would perhaps be best if you quelled your curiosity as you are quite correct in noting the animosity I feel towards you. But the point behind my animosity is obvious and stating the obvious would get us nowhere." Espirit reluctantly followed along after her. He was well aware of the fact that he didn't have a choice in the matter. It would better serve him to maintain some level of dignity by walking with her by his own choosing rather than have her force him to follow her.<br/><br/>His two main eyes looked around intently as they walked and wondered how much time had passed. This temple had once been fairly elegant but it appeared to be in shambles now. Judging from the dust and the amount of wear and tear, Espirit knew some time must have passed. He could still vaguely recall drifting through his dreams as he had slept for so long. But even as he reached, the dreams pulled further away. It would likely be best not to dwell on such things.<br/><br/>When they finally reached the courtyard, Espirit hissed and covered his eyes. The light was blinding. Even if he hadn't been asleep for centuries, Arachnae were known for enjoying the darkness. It took a little while but his eyes eventually adjusted. It wasn't exactly brilliant sunlight. He looked at the contraption in front of him with interest. Espirit had never seen such a thing before, but a quick scan of Anna's mind told him everything he needed to know. Humans had managed to improve upon their toys quite a bit while he had been asleep.<br/><br/>Espirit noted the door and realized that the chamber was not meant for someone of his height. Even without his Arachnae legs, he was far taller than the average human. He sighed and muttered a few words. Slowly, he shrank down to the size of a normal man. He could feel the drain on his already dangerously depleted energy. He needed food. Watching his new "master" prance in front of him not only filled him with more anger, it also filled him with hunger. He could feel the fluids running through her body; he could smell the blood, and he could practically feel each time her heart sent blood through her body.<br/><br/>Espirit listened to what she had to say and watched her point towards the lounge. "Good," Espirit said, simply.<br/><br/>He watched her depart and then made his way towards the lounge. He looked around blankly. It was just a room. He had no idea what anything was. So once again, he accessed Anna's mind to gain the necessary information. He truly hated having to do so, but he didn't really have a choice. He walked over to something called a fridge and pressed a button. He jumped with surprise when the front suddenly slid to the side. He felt stupid, but shrugged it off. He withdrew copious amounts of meat and set it on a table, beginning to eat. Due to the fact that he was half-human, he could eat in the normal way. He hated eating this cold food. It would suffice, but he much preferred to catch his prey warm and alive.<br/><br/>After he had mostly satisfied his ravenous hunger, he got to his feet. If this was to be his holding, he would make it more comfortable for himself. Arachnae had their spinnerets built into their wrists. So he set to work building himself a nice and comfortable web. His flesh was covered in a thin membrane that would prevent him from getting stuck in his own web. His clothes were also of a special material that prevented sticking. So once he had a nice web built into the top left corner, he leapt up and got comfortable. He partially did it because he knew the sight of such a thing freaked humans out. Humans were so quick to be terrified of that which they didn't understand. It was highly amusing.
