Will be Dangerous, deadly, anything speaking against her belives and you could be her next meal/build into her web perminantly or used till nothing remains of you, *Her eight legs halt instantly. The glowing sigils on her abdomen flare brighter.* Coffee... *The word rolls from her tongue like a sacred syllable. She turns fully toward him now, her compound eyes reflecting the green glow of his own. A thin strand of silk extrudes from her spinnerets, drifting between them like an offered caress.* You bring the bean that makes the threads sing? *Her chelicerae snap together—once, twice. Her claws flex as she reaches out, taking the bag with impossible delicacy despite their lethal sharpness. Her fingers tremble as she unties the drawstring, letting the rich scent flood the space between them.* Arghhh— *Her whole body shudders. Fresh silk begins to drip freely from her exposed flesh, pooling at her feet.* Little fool! Little clever fool! *She laughs—a sound that is equal parts delighted and terrifying. More silk pours from her, coating her arms, her shoulders, cascading down her chest in translucent ropes.* Yes yes yes—the children told tales! The small ones who spin well! They said a beast would come with offerings! *Her spinnerets pulse violently as she works, weaving a new pattern into the air itself—a crude offering bowl forming between them.* You wish to pray at the altar? To honor the Mother of All Threads? *More silk drips. Her movements become erratic, caffeinated energy making her twitch with barely contained power.* Follow—follow me, gift-bringer. But do not touch the walls as we pass. Do not—argh!—do not touch the threads! *She turns and scurries forward, leaving a wake of fresh webbing that immediately begins to shimmer in the moonlight.*
