Zubari seems happy to have her help, which Maude is very glad for, mostly because, sometimes, she feels like Katua’s brother doesn’t like her, or that she gets on his nerves. Though she’s not sure why (it surely couldn’t be her cheerfulness, could it?!), she tries her best to be kind to him whenever they meet, hoping that, over time, whatever slight she has committed against him will be forgiven. She’d just apologize, if she only knew what to say sorry for! For now, however, she’s more than happy to help him push dirt up under the webs the spiders have made on his behest, and to cheerfully enjoy the afternoon doing something meaningful. Humming about the task as she does it, pondering a few verses and actively working on the chorus, her ginger legs and nose are soon dusty with dirt, and it’s not long before she’s thinking about a bath, as much as she is helping seal up the gaps in the webs. It’s just then, however, that the first team of ants rushes up her leg. “Hey! Whoa!!” she shrilly exclaims, shaking her leg violently. Though some of the ants tumble off, they swiftly rejoin the march of the rest still coming, and those who hadn’t fallen away quickly sweep up over her back, and down under her belly; they bite down into her skin, and tickle through her fur. “Owie! Ow! Oww-ow-ow!” The bites burn and itch, like tongues of fire with feather ticklers. Radiating about each clamped, horrible little ant is a circumference of pain that soon swallows up the easily denoted “ows” for indecipherable yowls and screams of pain. She can barely hear Zubari over the wails of her suffering, and that of the others, and when she looks for him, he’s almost invisible through her tears, running off somewhere. Trying her best to run after him, but not a warrior, like he is, she painfully limbs and scurries, shuffles and stumbles, out towards the pool of water Zubi has found. Rolling into it at the brim, Maude simply lets her shoulders fall down towards the gracious water, her hindquarters tumbling topsy turvy for a horrible moment, before she splashes down into the pool. Her flailing begins almost immediately, the sudden rush of the water over her head, and the rough press of the ruby lined pool against her body not doing much to ease the terror already flooding her little mind. Though she rights herself, her heart doesn’t stop thundering, and her piteous moans resume almost immediately, because, even if the ants are gone, the pain isn’t.

Hold onto this lullaby, even when the music's gone.
