Penny was still watching the Acromantula when Charlie broke the news, her head swerving around so quickly it hurt a little, her hair flying out with the motion. "What?" she demanded, her tone quite snappish as though it might have been Charlie's idea, though it quite obviously wasn't.
She blinked a few times, her hand moving up to rub the base of his neck, calming herself down. "Why? Who said? Is it because someone killed one of them? There's no reason to put them all down," she whispered, knowing full well that the spiders were very smart and would probably hear what she was saying and understand. "No, there must be another way. They're not really dangerous, are they? Not unless they're provoked."
