Jilly let Nushi climb on top of her after she pulled away from me. I turned around to get my shorts and almost tripped over the Cerberus girls but was able to sidestep around them.
I got my shorts on, scooped up all the rest of the girls' clothing, and then started back after Jilly. I also told the girls to go back into pup form for now, and later I would give them a bath.
I decided that I was just going to rip the bandaid off with Jilly. I had to hope that she just tells me what the problem was when I ask.
"Hey, so are you ready to tell me how this spider cheated?" I asked plainly after I caught up to Jilly.
She was quiet for a moment, but then she took a deep breath and then let it out. Whatever this was, it really bothered her, and I kind of wish that Mary wasn't needy today, but only kind of.
