Tarantula

{Leta/Newt}

He thinks that Leta's like an Acromantula.

The others run away from her because she frightens them, because she's ready to bite them at the slightest touch, at the slightest word.

But if you take care of her, caress her, and feed her, and talk to her, and show her that to you she's not a monster at all, that she can trust you, because you hatched her egg and you would do it a hundred more times, then she will recognize you in a crowd, even if you belong to a different species from her, she will wrap you in her canvas and protect you from everything, even from her fellows.

Even from herself.

Some would say that Newt has a twisted way of expressing love, and that he's attracted to the wrong things.

Maybe.
