[ Attached is a picture of one of the spider nests in the Red Hills. It's from a wary distance but there are no spiders visible; only their many, many webs. The picture comes with a VOICED message: ]

I had thought to tackle this task myself, but I quite overestimated the number of arachnids here. I would like to collect some of this venom for myself in addition to what this quest asks, and for that I require some help.

[Homura sighed as they came to a stop. Not tired, so much as annoyed. She rubbed the back of her head.]

Sorry for a...well extraction as messy as that. Thought I had things under control before the swarm came.

[emet_sulk]

We escaped unharmed, did we not? 'Twas satisfactory.

If I had attempted this alone, I would have been overwhelmed. You have my thanks, girl.

No prob. I think my friend will enjoy some of this poison too if I can get some more.

Oh right, don't think we exchanged names. [Probably could've done that earlier if she hadn't been practicing.] Name's Homura.

[emet_sulk]

You may call me Emet-Selch.

[ He holds out one of the vials for her to take. ]

Here. Now that I know how to harvest them, 'twill be easier to obtain more.
