He looked confused until Torie finally explained. "Oh... I..." he frowned, trying to work it out. "Spiders?" Weren't they tiny things? Was it a wall of them? He didn't know. He was doing his best not to laugh because the biggest spider he'd seen was the size of his hand and that had been COOL. "You got a ride from a professor?" he asked, looking impressed. Then he focused on Chris. "And you were running too? How big were the spiders?" If they were little baby ones, James would be gone. He would just be laughing too hard to be useful.

I would've been eaten..." his lip wibbled again as he threatened to cry again. "They were huge. Like two of me!" Well at least that's how it seemed. "I think they....I think one of them took a girl...." More wibbles and be buried his face in his arms again. "I want to go home...."
Torie finally let go of him but relief had spread through him and moved back to sit down again by Chris. Yeah he felt bad for Chris he was really not doing well. Merlin he wasn't doing well! He blinked at him when he looked like he wanted to laugh. "Spiders! HUGE spiders!" he said his eyes wide, agreeing with Chris. Wait? He'd saved Chris' life? No, he wanted him to not be...okay fine saved him. "A girl got taken?" he asked wide-eyed to Chris now. "They could speak, they kept saying 'get them!' They're horrible and they were chasing all of us, and so many of them in the hall. "Did...you see who sent that spell?" he asked Chris "In the passage? Did they get out?" Please, let that person have escaped! He swallowed and refused to let the tears fall though he wanted to go home
to mummy and daddy too.
