C Only in Legend (Closed with FolkMaster)
#18

The screams made it more fun, but then Benji quickly made the effort to quiet himself. Anansi watched curiously as the young man closed his eyes and tried spiriting himself away somewhere else. If that was how he coped, he'd be spending a lot of time in his imagination. Weaving the web was very delicate work and Anansi took his time. He had to make it just right if he didn't want to jeopardize the safety of his eggs. Nearly three hours passed before he withdrew. Grey fingers touched the bruises at the corners of Benji's mouth where his mandibles applied too much pressure in order to fit. Anansi always admired the bluish-purple color on pale visitors' skin when he squeezed them too hard. Sometimes, if he squeezed hard enough, he made them turn greenish-black.

"You know, I always found this second layer of skin peculiar," the spider hummed as his hands pulled at Benji's shirt. "It varies in texture and color from human to human. Some are smooth, some have a line of strange little round scales in a line down the middle-- except they pop off so easily-- and some even have fabulous patterns. This skin here has less variety," he said and touched the fabric of the pants. Anansi's hand trailed back towards the shirt again, which he lifted and pat the little pot belly where he wove his web. "I thought it was meant to protect your soft, squishy layer of first skin, but it comes off so easily. Why not just evolve a less vulnerable soft skin, I wonder?"

"Will you walk into my parlor?" said the Spider to the Fly.
