As he spoke, he became aware of the corners of her mouth slowly pulling up, like a small black speck on the wall expanding moment by moment, one leg at a time, to reveal itself as a massive, furry tarantula. He paused, dimly aware of the platitude he'd ended on, as his attention was wholly taken up by the mounting horror of what he found in her twinkling-eyed smile:

"Well, I must be going; my train should be arriving any moment! Speaking with you is always enlightening," he said, but wait, did he already say that? Shit. There was something else he meant to say, the whole reason he'd started this conversation in the first place, and that was, "If it's not any trouble, would we be able to speak again sometime?"
