Unlikely Friendship
As Walter made his way back to the campfire with the berries he collected, he noticed Webber sitting by himself. He sighed, adjusting his backpack on his shoulders and sitting next to the spider. "Hey, are you okay? You look upset" Walter watched as Webber spun some silk in his fingers, idly playing with it.
"We tried to help Wilson with his science work, but we ended up breaking it. He got mad at me so we ran off" Webber sighed, flicking the silk into the fire. "We didn't mean to make him mad, we only wanted to help.."
Walter thought for a moment, before grabbing the berries from his backpack, and picking up the container next to the firepit. "Hey, wanna help me cook these berries? That way we could not only apologize to him, but make sure he doesn't go hungry" He smiled as Webber knelt down next to him, holding the container as he crushed the berries, essentially making a crude jam before holding it over the fire. Walter stirred the berries with a wooden stick, making sure it didn't burn.
Once they had finished, they carried the cup to Wilson's tent. "Mr Wilson?" Webber said softly. "We got you something to eat, and we wanted to say sorry" He handed the scientist the cup. "We didn't mean to break your project, we just wanted to help"
Wilson smiled, setting the cup on his little wooden table. "Webber, I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to get so angry like that. I managed to fix it, and I forgive you. Just please be more careful, okay?"
