"Nice to meet you Alexander," Aiden smiled. "I'm a human, and I've never heard of dridders. " he said matter-of-factly.
He couldn't help but giggle at the young dridder's question, and the feeling of being poked by something so small.
"Humans only have two legs silly!" He said between giggles. He leaned down and closely examined Alexander. "Are you...well, poisonous? I saw a spider that had the same markings as you, and my brother said it was dangerous..."

Aiden tilted his head and looked at Alexander a little nervously.
"Y-you won't bite me will you? I know your mommy says we're dangerous, but I wouldn't hurt you!" he made a motion of crossing his heart.

Aiden couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief. "Thanks," he smiled when Alexander hugged his leg. "I promise not to hurt you either!"
Just then, Aiden jumped a bit as lightning flashed in the distance, and a peel of thunder rumbled loudly through the air. "Uh oh..." He bit his lip as he looked down at his new friend, wondering where the little dridder could stay during the storm, and how he would fair with an injured leg, but then he got an idea.
"Alexander, since we can't find your mommy, do you wanna stay with me tonight?" He asked, almost pleadingly. Alexander was probably his first friend in this new town, or at least that's how he felt.

Alexander jumped at the lighting."I would like to stay with you.I dont wanna get hurt out here...With the scary light...."He said,clinging to Aiden's shoe.

Aiden smiled and stood. "I don't blame you! We can look for your mommy tomorrow too," he chirped. He bent down slowly so as not to scare his new little friend and gently lifted him from his shoe, raising back up to hold him close to his chest with two hands. He began to walk down the path back towards his house, this time though, avoiding the puddles so he didn't slip and hurt Alexander as he carried him. "We have some stuff at home to wrap your leg with too! You'll be good as new!"

Alexander felt a little uncomfortable in Aiden's hand,but it was getting better."Really?We can go try to find my mommy?"He said.He hoped that they could find her the next day."Will the stuff hurt?"

Aiden nodded and smiled down at Alexander, "Of course! I know what it's like to miss your mommy...so I'll help you find her!"
He thought about Alexander's other question and shook his head. "It shouldn't, I'm just gonna wrap it...unless I accidentally push your leg or do it too tight...but I'm pretty good about being gentle."

Aiden giggled and shook his head. "No, with bandages silly! It's this white cloth that keeps the swelling down and makes sure you can heal right...at least that's how my big brother explained it. We'll have to use little strips for you," Adien could see the end of the trail coming up, and his house. His brother's Jeep was no where in sight.

Aiden looked down at Alexander with a raised eyebrow. "It looks fine to me...don't you live in a house?" He looked up for a split second to open the door and closed it behind him before kicking off his boots and setting Alexander on a small table by the door and taking off his jacket.

Alexander felt around on the table.He slipped on his broke leg and fell."Owww...."He said,hearing a loud machine pulling into the driveway.."What is that?"

"Are you okay?!" Aiden asked as Alexander cried out. He was fixing to pick up the dridder when he asked another question.
"What's wha-" he felt his eyes go wide as he heard the sound of his brother's old Jeep pull into the driveway. "That's my brother...I don't know if you need to meet him yet...." He bit his lip and carefully picked up Alexander and hurried towards his bedroom. "Maybe later tonight or something...." He left out the part about his brother hating spiders.
When he was in his room, Aiden set Alexander down gently on his big blue pillow and went back to shut the door.
Kurt climbed out of his big red Jeep and went to grab the mail. At twenty years old, Kurt was a rather tall man, about 6'8", with rusty colored hair and green eyes just like Aiden's. He had a quite intimidating build, and his face was worn form hard work and stress.

"Okay..that was your brother?Would he like me?"Alexander asked.He saw Aiden close the door."Aiden?My leg is feeling weird..."

"Um, I don't know...he's really nice once you get to know him, but...," He sighed and sat down on his bed. "He got bit by a spider when he was little, and now he hates them..." He looked down at Alexander and bit his lip feeling panicky again, thinking that Kurt could probably help more than he could. "Um, bad weird or funny weird?"
Kurt came inside and took off his work boots, tossing his jacket into the hall closet and then going into the kitchen to grab a soda. He heard Aiden's voice coming from down the hall. Instead of calling out though, he walked towards the room, and opened the door. "Hey kiddo, who you talking to?"
Aiden let out a small squeak when he heard his brother open the door. "N-no one!" He stuttered as he moved Alexander quickly behind him, saying sorry to him over and over in his mind.

With an eyebrow raised, Kurt came closer. "I've lived with you your whole life Aiden, I know when you're lying. Did you bring home another squirrel from the woods? You know you aren't allowed to have wild animals as pets."
Aiden gulped and shook his head. "I-it's not that!! It's just..."he fidgeted and sighed, defeated, before continuing, "I made a new friend today...I helped him when a rock fell on him and broke one of his legs...we couldn't find his mommy, and so I brought him back here...I thought you could help him, but I wasn't sure if you'd like him or not though..."
Kurt looked around the room in a panic, expecting to see some kid hiding with a crushed leg. "Well, where the heck is he?! If he has an inury like that we need to get him to a hospital!!"
Aiden stood and turned so Alexander sat exposed on his bed. "I-I don't think a hospital would b-be the right place for him..."
Kurt turned, confused and then his eyes landed on the spider boy on his brothers bed. "What...Aiden...What IS that?!"
