Ashe had been on the look out for another quest, and when he arrived at the board, he was pleased and eager to see that there were two this time! He quickly took both, and upon looking at them, he decided that the second one was going to be a piece of cake and he should probably do that first, in case the first one took more time than he thought it might. He didn't want anyone getting either job done before he could get to it after all! Soon as he saw the call for getting rid of bugs, Ashe knew which pet he would bring with him to this place. It was a dangerous choice, but what was Ashe's life if not dangerous? He knew this creature enough to avoid getting bitten - so far, at least - but not enough to fully communicate with it... He knew this thing was intelligent, perhaps moreso than he himself, so he figured the Weaver would be able to figure it out quickly.

The weaver was gigantic for a spider, but not that big compared to what Ashe was used to leading around. Still, it was alarmingly fast when he wanted to get moving, and Ashe knew one bite from those fangs and he could be a goner. He had managed to get the spider to like him enough to not kill him, and that was a promise that could be revoked at any time, for any reason, with no explanation...
Ashe had studied Weavers enough to know how to communicate with them on a basic level. They were intelligent, and picked up on things just as easy as a human. They just had different priorities in life, because why would a Weaver care about silly things humans cared about? But they had one thing in common: Food. Liking to eat. So that's how Ashe convinced the spider to come with him, with the promise of a feast. Urakami had perked up at the idea of food, so Ashe felt safe assuming he understood.

They made their way into the city and to Turner's shop. "Be nice," Ashe said to Urakami, giving the spider a look, before he opened the door and walked in. The Weaver followed after him and he held the door open so the spider wouldn't get squished.
"Turner! I'm here to help!" Ashe announced. "I heard you have a bug problem! I have a bug solution!"
Turner greeted Ashe, and quickly ushered him out to his nursery, where there were plants of different kinds - and bugs crawling over the berries. "Oh, it's just terrible! I can usually handle them, but this year, it's just swarms!" He said, worried about his berries. His business.
"Urakami here will take care of these things in a jiffy!" Ashe said, urging Turner to go back into the shop and wait while they did their work. When the shopkeep was out of the way, Ashe gestured to the buffet table. "There you go, Kami. Eat away!" He watched as the spider inched forward, cautious.

In a flash, the Weaver started going to work. Urakami went to the first plant, eyes on the unsuspecting bugs that crawled this way and that, taking bites out of anything they could find. The weaver made a little web out of its butt and reached his front legs back, coating them with the sticky substance. Ashe watched in awe. He'd seen his Weaver eat before, but it was usually in a more spider-esque way, of making the web and having food caught in it. But this... This was something else. Eerie, because it took thought to be able to do something like this.
With the web coated legs, the weaver reached out, slowly and carefully, to the first plant it could reach. The bugs inevitably ended up getting stuck in the sticky webbing, and when the legs had a few bugs attached, Urakami pulled them back and nibbled the bugs right off. Like raisins on cotton candy or something. Ashe was making some of the best faces, and no one was there to witness.

The weaver moved from plant to plant, using this method on each one until it was free from visible bugs. Ashe had no idea how big the weaver's stomach was, or how long this was going to take. He had miscalculated just how many bugs there were, but Urakami was making quick work of them for the amount there. Ashe noticed the spider was also leaving a little bit of a web at the base of each plant as he went along, and he wondered what the point of this was. Future guard against bugs, maybe? That would be going above and beyond for humans, though, and he didn't think Weaver were that kind.
When Urakami finished with the first round to each tree and bush, Ashe found out what the base web was for. The Weaver went back to each one, and some bugs had already been stuck in the webbing. He plucked those out and ate them, too, for a round two. By round three, there didn't seem to be anymore bugs in the greenhouse. For today, anyway. He and Urakami went back into Turner's shop to tell him the good news - the spider was fat, and the plants were safe!
