"I couldn't gather it all - but it seems you have been, well, to put it bluntly, screwed over by a rodent."

"Correct. I wanted to see what he knew about the humans, and he left us a stupid piece of paper." said Arkady. "What do you want to do?"

Where's Berno? And what exactly did he do to upset you guys?

He thought he could steal our characters' supposedly "storaged" food, then lied a bit to make himself look trustworthy, then left with the "YOU ALL SUCK" piece of paper.

"Whatever you need. Really, I just need to be sure I have some friends at the moment. While humans love us Bold Jumping Spiders, I have a feeling I might still need you at my back eventually. So, I wish to establish friendships."

"I too, am a diplomat," said Arkady, "But I thought humans especially hated spiders?"

"It depends what type. It really depends on how easily said spider can kill them. They LOVE jumping spiders - everyone but the most seasoned arachnophobes consider us cute and harmless. And their scientists, their researchers... they give us flies just for going through a maze. It's really fun."

"I understand, but I have to ask you a question. What are those flying contraptions and how do you know of them? I have yet to see one."

"You know, those metallic birds. Have you not seen one? They often fly over the denser areas of concrete. They carry people inside of them. And they are very, very comfortable as well. So many dense areas."

"Well, I think I've seen one... only once, when I was a pet. And only when I watched things on the window."

"Oh, you woke up," says Arkady, "This is Jericho. He's a jumping spider, and a pretty intelligent one!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Lizard. What is your name, by the way?"

Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Nacl, the Peregrine Falcon, but you can call me N.

"Ah, I was primarily speaking to the lizard, but that is very good to know, Nacl. I am glad to meet you. So, do you, like your friend, have some grudge against humanity? I'll be honest, I am meeting more and more of you who really seem to hate humans."

Yes. I was once a falconer falcon... and... N starts crying

"It is very painful for him," says Arkady, "After all, he must have been very young back in there! Cheer up, N! I'm here. You are in a better place."

"Don't be surprised, though," Arkady says to Jericho, "Unlike you, we dislike humans."

"Yup." says Arkady, "Don't be surprised, though; he's the one kind of spiders that are both intelligent and considered cute by human standards. He got free food as a result. It was given by scientists."

"Hm. Not necessarily 'likes'. I do respect their cunning. But, I must admit, it is true..."

"... Well, humans are bastards, to put it lightly. I can understand your prejudices against them." he said, calmly jumping to the side.

"N!" screams Arkady, "Don't attack our guest. Just because he was spared from seeing the atrocities humans commit doesn't mean he is bad!"

<Flies back down> Fine. But don't expect me to give him any favors.
