Luckily for Keiko, Spider wasn’t busy. He’d actually just become un-busy, as he slid the last of the cooled freshly-baked cookies onto a plate when his comm rang.

Snatching a cookie off the top of the pile, he turned to lean back against the counter, munching on the cookie as he answered.

  “My name’s Raven Skyen, and I used to live in a small farming village called Arcadia. But it burned down years ago, so I live alone in a cabin in the woods nearby. I was taking a walk when I heard you singing... It was such a familiar tune I had to see if it was anyone I knew.”

“Oh, hello there dearie! Yes, i’m his aunt. And this is my dear husband.”

Cedar shouldn't be doing this.

He really shouldn't.

But Spider wasn't home, Dynamo was off on a job somewhere, and Cedar wasn't in a mood to wait for either of them.

Eyeing the coffeemaker on the counter, the sniper hesitated, then made a decision. How difficult could it be, after all? He'd watched its use many times before- put in water, turn the machine on, press a button to heat the water, place a cup under the spout to catch the water, brew tea... Surely his wretched luck with cooking couldn't affect even something that simple?

Unfortunately, things weren't quite so uncomplicated, due to the fact Spider's camera-bird was also on the counter. The avian mechaniloid hopped about, flapping its wings and making such a ruckus that Cedar was surprised the neighbors hadn't called to see what was going on.

The sniper didn't need a translator to know the bloody creature was cursing him six ways from Sunday for what he was doing.

The minute Spider received word from Gate the teleporter was ready, the bounty hunter stopped by only long enough to get it, and then he was immediately teleporting out to Keiko's world. He didn't waste any time heading straight to the shelter, making sure nothing had happened since his last check.

Satisfied, he went in search of Keiko. And he tried very hard not to think about where he'd be taking her in his world just yet.

Would he like if if people said ‘thank you for such a pretty night’ instead of praying about random stuff?

(( I don’t really know if he’d really be the deity that represents night- but he’d be the kind of be known for avoiding light. Not necessarily evil though.
