"Easy there, take it easy..." Hajime, for lack of any other idea as to what he should do here, assumed a "talking to animals" kind of voice as he tried to talk Reilanin down. He also tried to reposition himself so that his spikes caused the least amount of damage. "We're going to go home now, okay?" He thought he could carry her at least part of the way, but not if she kept wiggling. He gave her one of his wrist spikes to gnaw on as he tried to get a better grip on her; at least getting bitten there didn't bother him.

Really, anyone coming across them now might wonder just what sort of dog a horrible bug-thing might keep as a pet.
