[Fuu's smiling face appears in the amber. Behind her, you can just see the piece of mirror, though she's too far away for the words to show.]

Hello, everyone! I hope you're all well today.

It seems as though the mirror on this branch is enchanted! It's showing a riddle at the moment.

It reminds you of a riddle the heroes would find in a storybook, don't you think? But of course, reading a story and being in a story are two entirely different things.

It must be different things that we're used to. [Spider-cat. Well... that might actually be a little cute? Depending on which bits were which and how poisonous it was. But yeah, that can wait for another time.]

That's a sensible idea. I do have some defensive magic in case it is hostile. It really is hard to predict how it might be, if it's sentient like the other insects we've met.

[Korra frowns for a second.]

I wonder... would it being sentient make it less dangerous or even more dangerous?

[If it's anything like the ants, it means it runs on something other than just instinct. And if Korra's learned anything in her time as the Avatar, it's that the more something thinks and gets ideas, the more dangerous they could end up being.]

[monster_san]

....Hmm. Probably more dangerous. [BLUNT but yeah now that the question is raised, Fuu can't see a different answer. Given how much more dangerous humans are than everything else on Earth....] Spiders are ingenious enough just through evolution and instinct, so one that can think... but if it's sentient, then it would be wrong of us not to try and reason with it first.

[braavado]

Yeah. [There's a pause, before she adds:] Let's hope they're up for listening.

[To be honest, she's a little confused. It almost seems like the web had been put there to keep the spiders trapped there, and yet there's the possibility of the riddle setting them free...]
