Oh how adorable - what do you feed him on? Bits of your jaluk? Obviously, I could have had one of those ... if I'd wanted one.... or a whole swarm.... ...But animals other than holy spiders are forbidden in Arach-Tinilith, and as a priestess in the full favour of Lolth I have little time for such ... Distractions!

I'd get her to expand on things, but I think she'd currently get banned if she posted anything right now... But, I've asked her about Rhyl outside of that staged interview and can answer some of it. He's not a pet, and he's not a familiar. She regularly uses the term 'companion' for him. I guess she came across him in the Underdark and befriended him with some lizard meat. I feel like there's more to it than than, but she hasn't said anything more to me yet. I think he literally is a companion to her, a friend. She doesn't need him to sneak around and do reconnaissance. I'm pretty sure the shadows she hides in make more noise than she does... Or maybe human ears are just terrible compared to larger elvish ones. She does use him as an ally in combat and apparently he has become much tougher than most of his kin. In the wild they are known to hunt in groups, zapping their target with a frost ray while remaining out of reach until their target succumbs. What I don't know is how he flys, exactly. He just floats in the air. Arachne says its his innate magical ability and I guess it must be true. I also don't understand his anatomy. He seems to be just a mouth, eye, and eye stalks. Put a brain in there and I don't get how there's much more space left for anything else, and yet I've seen him basically unhinge his jaw and eat an entire meatball in one bite. Oh, and he LOVES spheres. Arachne wants me to pass along threats to each and every one of your elves, but, she says, specifically River. Probably because you mentioned her name... To paraphrase, River can look forward to a drow blade in her back when she runs after witnessing what Arachne does to her friends. Arachne was a lot more specific. And graphic. And long winded. One quote I think I can use is 'you can insult me, you can try and harm me in combat, but you do not hurt Rhylqualyn or you will face the full force of my wrath!' I think I lost my appetite. {Out of Character: For clarity, Shamus, I hold absolutely no ill will towards you or your elves. This is all narrative in good fun and I always look forward to your posts here.   }

"Oh, my jaluk has been warned of what will happen if he does not provide proper sustenance for Rhyl. He will eat any type of meat I have tried to feed him so far, including these balls of meat that Agent mentioned." Arachne nodded in approval at Nymeria's mention of being a priestess. All female drow received at least some basic training as a priestess to honor Lolth, but it was not the path that Arachne had chosen. She preferred to honor her goddess through actions -usually violence- against her enemies, but still found time to say some prayers every morning. "You should find time. A companion like Rhyl is the only creature I can count on to be there for me, no matter what." Trust was a hard to come by commodity to the drow and Arachne was happy to take what she could get, even from a source as strange as Rhylqualyn.

I haven't spent much time around here since the site came back up. I think that needs to be changed! Arachne and I have been quite busy since the last post in this thread and it's time to do some catching up.
What's the biggest news? I decided to introduce my closest family to Arachne. I posted this first photo and someone thought it was the start to a little story, but it was actually the pose I had Arachne in when my parents came over. The next day, I decided to turn it into a little story and ended up with this: "My face when my wanre says I'm about to meet his parents... I'm going to need more wine."  The Next Morning...  "Ohhh... I don't feel so well, wanre." "I know what I told you about humans having a largely matriarchal society, but I also told you that taking a drink whenever my mom spoke was a bad idea, didn't I?" Arachne let out another moan. "Yes..." "Here, why don't I fix you some breakfast and hopefully you'll feel better. Why don't you start with a glass of apple juice?"  "Here's some bacon."  "...And to top it all off, a singe pancake cooked in the bacon grease, smothered in maple syrup. Enjoy!"  The drow smelled all of the wonders before her and couldn't deny it would be good. Silently she started to eat heartily, but there was no way she was going to eat it all. "So good, but so full... I can't finish. I think I need to go lay down... You can eat the leftovers, wanre."  "Yeah, a little nap won't hurt. Then you'll feel better." Of course she made sure to eat all of the bacon before she was full!

So, did the parents survive the encounter?
The elves noted immediately that she was going to the meeting wearing Mithril and Dragon skin... Thats not a good sign that everyone will walk away from it Did you eat the rest of her food? You klnow that she will wake up hungry and then you will get grief / lose a finger if you did. Good luck... Not with anything in particular its just you live with a Drow. Every day that you get to the end of takes luck.  Shamus.

(When she met my sister and her husband a few weeks later I had to bribe her with more wine to behave)  I was genuinely surprised at how accepting they were and after that it led to Arachne's first time out of the house since she arrived. I took her out to my parent's place for a day with the family.    While I was out there I did my first outdoor photoshoot with her for a photo contest (Date Your Mate) and this photo won the contest. I really like this photo as it holds a lot of meaning to me and winning with it was just the icing on the cake.  Bonus POV shot  Quote:
I love this comment! I bought that shirt for her because of the metallic appearance and I'm glad others see it as that as well.  Your elves have good eyes!I did eat the leftovers and felt safe doing it! She'd eaten the best part, the bacon, after all. And, when she woke up hungry again do you think she was going to put up with reheated leftovers? Of course not! I had to prepare her a fresh dish! Thank you. I definitely need it some days! There are some problems arising in my home and she thinks I have something to do with it. I'll probably post that over the weekend and I am trying to work on a solution! Hopefully it's enough to escape her wrath! Quote:

 "'The drow'? I have a name, you rivvil jaluk! It is Arachne Baenre and you will address me as such! "Know this, Agent exists purely to fulfill my needs. His reward is simply basking in my radiance and being allowed to exist for another day! Furthermore, -"   "Are we broadcasting? Yes?"  "Hello? Can anyone hear us? I am Evey, a member of the Resistance. Do not help the drow! Her whole purpose here is to enslave the human race!"  "To help this is to help the downfall of humanity!"  "Please, I hope that this messages reaches the ears of my fellow fae and humans alike! Agent is already under her control and I believe others have also fallen victim to her sway!"  "I hear footsteps! She's coming and I must go! Please! Our forces are small! I have not seen Saffee in over two weeks! Help us!" begged the small elven figure before the feed cuts out.
