—What?

[ It's a question that's both disbelieving and demanding, Katsa's voice just a little more high-pitched than she usually ever speaks. Of course, since this is her first time using the TAB and among her first days in Thisavrou, it's not a detail that too many people should recognize, but still. Squeaky.

It's especially obvious once she continues speaking—lower, but no less demanding, with the look and tone of someone who's accustomed to getting answers when she asks them. ]

Is it a common welcome here, then, to offer some sort of poor beast's heart as a gift? Or does someone imagine they'll disturb others for amusement? A gift from a king, perhaps?

Spiders?

[Nate grimaces. He's not an arachnophobic, but he's not a fan of them. Not the big ones.]

No thanks. I've had more than enough giant spiders in my life.

[ That smile doesn't quite settle into a full one, but it becomes something a little more open. ]

My name is Katsa. [ He didn't ask. She's giving it anyway, with an expectation he'll return the favor. ] If we've any such spiders here, I'll be sure to squash them for you.

I'm Drake—Nathan Drake. [He makes a face.] And thanks, though a shotgun was more useful than a foot last I checked. They're that big.

[ There's hesitation as Katsa tries to remember if she knows what that is. ]

A shotgun? [ She's thinking of a pistol, the kind she learned from Porthos. ] It seems to me something other than a bullet would still be more efficient for a spider.

It was more about keeping the swarm away until you could flee into the light. Shotgun spray did the trick. Not something I'd like to try again, though.

One bullet for a swarm? Or did your gun fire many bullets at a time?

Shotgun ammo's closer to the latter. I was just holding on long enough for me wife to get us out of there by getting the door open.

Your wife. You're married? [ And then, perhaps relevant? ] What were you and your wife doing in a swarm of giant spiders? Are there many where you're from?

You don't have to sound so surprise. Yes, I'm married. And what we were trying to do was run the hell away from them. I'm really happy that they're not too common.
