The Worms had noticed the girl's abrupt arrival onto the planet, how could they not? Bright lights and sounds that the Hive had never heard before had the entity sending some smaller Worms to investigate the odd new arrival. A human? A little one, normally something they wouldn't take as a threat but then, Knives and Vash had once been small and human looking. The Worms drifted closer to peer at her.
Then they heard her, echoing in the hive-mind like a strange music note. Ever so slightly off from the way they heard each other but harmonious despite it. Could she hear them like they heard her, so clearly? The little glowing human was soon surrounded by the previously carefully circling Worms, now blatantly curious and interested.
She wanted to find other humans? Why talk to humans when she could speak to the Hive? Then again, they reasoned she was small and alone, clearly separated from her network. The whole of the Hive might be too much, as it could be with the few psychics they'd spoken with. Their avatar would be better, easier, not as much weight to them and a familiar shape to calm her.
A few of the Worms broke off from the circling group and flitted along ahead of her, flying back and forth to keep in sight of the little human. They would guide her, follow them, they will take her to their ambassador, they were coming. Better to meet them then sit here in the sand to wait.
Shelter, company, safety, this way this way.
Why Did she want to find humans? "Because I'm alone and that's scary... and I don't know what else to do." There was a presence behind the smaller insects. Something bigger. It was like speaking to speaking to spiderants and feeling the queen through the swarm but this feeling... it was more. Bigger. Older. Arnie was a little unsure about pressing too far. The presence itself didn't frighten her, but... Well, she was one small mind and it was so much more! Arnie was a little afraid that 'she' could be lost and not ever come back. The little Siren continued forward at the bidding of the Sand Worms. Chasing after the creatures as they flew... trusting, perhaps naively, that they would indeed bring her to a safe place. Wherever they were going, it was a long trek. Arnie was beginning to wonder just how long she could keep walking when a figure appeared in the distance just ahead of her. Had they been there just a moment ago? She stopped in her tracks... more unsure of herself then she had been with the winged insects. Nervously, she approached. "Hello..." the girl looked down towards her feet. "You're the one they wanted me to find, a-aren't you?"
