Tormented Tarns spiders in your hair, spiders everywhere

The male eyed her with a not inconsiderable amount of distrust. ”It loo-“ he started, then cut off abruptly. It looks? What does it look like to you?, Sien wondered. She glanced at the spider again and saw nothing noteworthy. It was large, yes, but she hadn’t been lying when she said bigger was better. Yes, she’d taunted him knowing he’d shy away from the size, but the more sizable the spider, the more filling and nutritious it would be. Sien was nothing if not practical, and if these arachnids had to die somewhat needlessly to line their – his – stomach, when there were better options available, then she was going to make sure it counted. It’s a pity, she thought, as Tatsuya sneered and snorted at her, That the lesson will be lost on him.
 
While Sien waited patiently, Tatsuya seemed to deliberate for a moment. Presumably coming to some sort of conclusion, he proceeded to snap blindly at the spider. She lifted a brow, mildly amazed, as he completely missed and the creature scuttled off unscathed, nestling itself into a patch of tall grasses off to Sien’s side. He seemed to have believed he’d snatched it, however, and went through the entire range of swallowing motions, contorting his face into various expressions of distaste, before a look of bewilderment crossed his features and he glanced down, then all around, searching with obvious rising panic.  Incredible, Sien thought, with a touch of disbelief. She couldn’t resist. ”Shouldn’t have done that.” She remarked, visibly amused. ”Will spin web, lay eggs inside,” she added, injecting a note of admonishment into her voice to make the act seem more genuine.
 
But then – Be nice, Niall’s voice reprimanded, even as the last words left her mouth. Sien internally heaved a sigh, resigned. Right, of course, she thought, Taking it too far; forgive me.  Yet, she kept an eager eye on the male, fully intending on making the most of her religious misdemeanor, it having been said and done already, as it were. She waited for a few calculated minutes before dropping the act. ”Kidding,” she amended, mildly apologetic, but clearly entertained by his suffering nonetheless. ”Here,” she indicated, turning to locate the spider once more. She would do him a favor, she decided suddenly, struck by inspiration. Leaning forward, Sien nabbed the spider with a quick snap of her jaws, crushing it decisively. And since he wanted it so much, in apology – She ground her teeth delicately, severing the arachnid into two messy pieces lengthwise even as it continued to writhe desperately.  Then, lowering her head while keeping a wary eye on the male, she dropped one still-twitching half on the ground in front of him, eyeing him expectantly even as she finished off her portion. ”Not bad,” Sien concluded, and after running her tongue across her teeth to catch any stray pieces, she offered him an encouraging half-smile.
