Though the painful bites of the ants already inspired tears in flooding lines down each of her pond saturated cheeks, the valiant efforts of Zubari to help her, while he is surely in pain himself, add wails and snuffles to the already dismal chorus chimed by the filly. She’s so touched! Here she thought he disliked her, and after all, he truly did care! Running her nose across his pelt to try and remove the ants, too, Maude finds the little black creatures hard to see, her eyes are so clouded by her pained and elated tears. So, when her friend apologizes as if this is his fault, she hiccups and attempts to throw her neck over his shoulder, to clasp him to her chest in a hug of gratitude, and the absence of blame held in her heart. “Oh, its okay, Zubi! You didn’t make them do it,” she sniffles, retreating bashfully away from her friend, and somewhat frightfully, as the clearing around them suddenly quiets, no longer filled with the sound of hooves stamping, and voices shouting in alarm. The quiet before the storm, or so went some of her mother’s tales. Maude was pretty sure this was one of those times, even though a storm has already rushed through, and she really just wishes it would all stop. She’d just wanted to hang out with Zubari, and help the spiders, not get hurt all over, and a soggy, pond water tail! Her eyes widen with absolute shock and enthrallment when the Queen appears, however, the arrival of the large bug not quite the horrible beast the child had been expecting. Actually, she’s quite pretty, and Maude even mouths a wide, eager “Oh!” of excitement before the ant-mother unleashes her hail of violence. “WHY?!” she shrieks, plunging downwards into the water as much as she can when one of the projectiles narrowly misses her already griffon nicked ear; her dainty, split hooves splay beneath her to keep her as deeply abreast as possible, the filly ironically dipping downward at the same time as Patrick’s wild arrival alongside her. By the Gods, just squish it! Yells Toulouse, the man who’d found and help saved her mother. Maude sort of agrees, but she also can’t help but sympathize with the Ant Queen when Astarot speaks up on her behalf. He’s right! If someone attacked the Edge, Queen Alysanne and King Tembovu would smash them, just like this pretty bug was trying to do now. Huddling up next to the strange boy for sheer comfort, her welted skin stings, but so do her eyes, from all her tears, but with a warbled shout, she takes to the side of those defending the pretty blue insect. “Oh, stop it! She really is just protecting her family!” she wails, so distraught from the ant attack that she is sure the sight of such a beautiful creature being crushed for her honorable actions would drive her mad, “maybe if we leave, she’ll go home!” Everyone else could leave, first, though. She wasn’t about to get out of this pond to test the theory, and risk getting struck with one of the bug’s scary ice pellets.
