[Oh Sunny... well, fortunately for him, no spiders were lying in wait to meet him, so he could afford to stop and catch his breath! Frieda is slightly shaken from actually having to fend the creatures off, but it's easy for her to put on a smile for him (though not without reassuring herself that they're still not following them with a look over her shoulder).]

Yes, they stayed back there. I hope they learned their lesson! Spiders who go after people risk getting hurt.

[She demonstratively raises the torches in her hands. She'd be glad to place them in holders, but for Sunny, she'd fend off as many more threats as she needs to.]

We can walk the rest of the way, I think.

[No more need for running!]
