" YOU haven't told me your name "
Corey mentioned as he shoved his hand into his pockets before hearing the little girl gasp in shock.
" My n-name is Universe. Universe Graham "
She introduced herself before beaming and walking to stand by his side.
" Universe "
He tested with a nod of approval before speaking again;
" Unique "
Causing a light pink colour to taint the porcelain cheeks of the naive girl.
" Thank you "
Universe had muttered before walking after him and mentally praising herself for not stuttering this time.
" Why w-were you scared if the t-tarantula? "
The naive girl asked as she rubbed on the mark in her arm before quietly hissing.
" They're Filthy "
Corey spat before narrowing his eyes at nothing to be exact.
" B-because of their hairs? "
She asked looking up at him after dodging a rock.
" Not only that. Creepy legs, hairs, eyes, everything "
He said before noticeably shuddering.
" Hated them since I was a kid "
" B-but how did you know about them?"
Universe had asked again before hoisting her bag properly up her shoulders.
" Let's say, my mother used to have some as pets when I was younger. The Chilean rose, Brazilian black, The Mexican red leg and the pink toe "
Corey explained before briefly staring at her.
" Hmm..I h-have only heard about the Brazilian black, the P-pink zebra b-beauty and the Chilean r-rose. Was your mommy is an arachnid enthusiast then? "
The naive girl stuttered out, oblivious to how Corey Knight had cringed due to the use of the childish word - mommy, but still answered anyways.
" She was. Still is "
" C-cool. My auntie is scared of all insects. Especially spiders and tarantulas "
The naive girl said with a smile which later turned into a frown.
" I miss her "
She sniffled before aggressively rubbing her eyes.
" We'll get out of here. I just don't know when it how "
Corey Knight assured her before stopping and sitting on the rocky floor, seeing as they had not made any progress.
