Growing the Heads [Rune Knights;Infinity Hydra]

Elspeth slithered down from one of the rafters of the guild hall, eyeing the group of mages and the single Infinity Hydra member. She moved around a little, lowering her feet to the ground and snapping her silk in half to drop the rest of the way. Hitting the floor, the spider spirit walked over to Rowan and the group of Rune Knights, crossing all of her arms over her chest. Her golden, slit eyes stared at Isaac of all the Knights there in the group, certain that he was not here to make light of a situation. Not to mention that she had a motherly sense of protection over the members of Infinity Hydra, she would defend them to her last breath if needed. Luckily for her, it was damn near impossible to kill a celestial spirit; she'd simply go back to the Celestial World when necessary.

Elsie reached one of her spider legs out to press against the chest of Isaac, a frown apparent on her face. "I wouldn't go any farther than that, little boy," she stated, standing protectively next to Rowan and eyeing the other mages. "Why are you here on Infinity Hydra grounds? Do you have business with us or are you here to pick an unnecessary fight. If it's the latter, then I want you to turn around and walk away right now before all hell breaks loose that we can prevent. . ." The guild master was not around, correct? She did not want any needless fights to break out while he was away. She'd pull back her leg after a few more seconds of staring at Isaac, crossing it back over the one it had been previously crossed over. After having said this to the young mage, the woman would summon up one of her spiderlings and coo at it a little.

Quietly, Elspeth would kneel to the ground and let the little rascal scamper off back into the guild, being used as a communication lacrima. For those who did not want to come outside to see the hullabaloo, she figured that they'd at least want to hear. Once that was completed, she'd turn her attention back to Isaac and the other Rune Knights to see why they were there.

Out of everyone that had come along with Isaac, a single woman had stood out to the eight-legged celestial spirit. She stood—no—she coward next to the burly man, eyes darting around and her hand fumbling for something out of sight. Elspeth tilted her head a little at the sight of the feverish woman, wondering what had gotten her so spooked. It concerned her a little and out of motherly instinct, the spideress would unfold her arms and move a little closer to Ageha. One of her fuzzy spider limbs had reached out toward the Rune Knight, comfortingly, though Ageha may take it as a threat to her life.

"Are you all right, little one? Do you need to come into the guild hall and sit down somewhere to get a hold of yourself?" Elsie inquired. "If so, please follow me into the building and I can get you something to drink and a place to rest, should you need it."

About to turn around and head into the castle, Elspeth was interrupted by Isaac, who had greeted them and was interrupted by the scream of his follower. She watched contentedly as he took a flask from the grasp of the drinking woman, though became curious as to what was inside it. He scolded her and told her it would be returned to her when she behaved properly, but as of now, would not be given back. In that instant, the spirit let her eyes wandered back to Ageha, simply to see the reaction that would undertake from her flask being removed.

Isaac started to speak again, in which her eyes went back to studying him and what he was saying to the duo. Elsie heard something about "Rune Knights," but didn't entirely know what the Rune Knights were, due to only having been here a few days.

"Ruin Nights?" the lady repeated the name of the army, eyebrows scrunching together out of confusion. "Why would you want to ruin nights? Nighttime is the absolutely most beautiful time of day! What could you hate about it?"

Neither of the two Rune Knights would know that Elspeth Abbott was a celestial spirit, all too new to this world. She would come off to them as a rather "dumb bitch" in a sense, a "bimbo," or better yet, a blonde that's not really a blonde. Her question would likely go unanswered for all she knew, as the man would ask what their names happened to be. At this point, she was about to answer his question when Rowan piped up, giving his name and what would be his "nicknames" had they not been her own. Anger flared up upon her face and she'd turn to smack Rowan over the back of his head with one of her sharp spider feet. Elsie was clearly not having his joking attitude when it came to her name, especially since "Elspeth" wasn't her actual name.

"I'm Elspeth Abbot, but you may call me Elsie for short," the spider queen hissed out after looking back to Isaac and Ageha.

Little spiders would sprout from her feet at this time, as if they were crawling out from under her boots and into the open. They'd scramble away quickly, but head straight for Rowan, aiming to climb up his body and pick at his clothing to bother him. A few disobediently went toward Ageha, their curiosity getting the better of them and crawling along the ground toward her. Once they reached her, they'd try to ascend up her legs and nuzzled into the nooks and crannies of her armor and clothes. Warmth was there and that's what they wanted, but knowing Ageha, they would likely be slapped away or killed. Of course, if that were to happen, Elspeth wouldn't be all too keen on this Rune Knight any longer and would take a disliking to her.

"What exactly are you here for?" she'd ask after a short while of silence, her eyes now darting from Isaac to Ageha, then to the third Rune Knight, Rosalina.
