"Millie? Where's Knives?"

"Reading in his room. He's researching human... taxidermy?"

Vash blanched. He rushed into Knives' room.

"Knives! You can't stuff and mount humans like... hunting trophies!"

Knives blinked. "Huh?"

"Millie said you're researching taxidermy!"

" Not taxidermy, Taxonomy. The science of classifying organisms. "

"Oh."

"...Why are you reading 'Entomology of Gunsmoke'?"

"I'm classifying humans. You're right, Vash. Not all humans are spiders."

Vash stared at him, stunned.

"For instance, the two human females. The big one is a 'Harvestman' or 'Opilione', a large, intimidating arachnid that is harmless."

"And the small one," Knives smirked, "is a scorpion."

A/N: Modified for Sephiroth1Ripley8! (I really did mean the non-spider Daddy Long legs. And they are harmless to butterflies and humans, unless the butterfly is dead, 'cuz they're scavengers... no venom or fangs, just stinky-glands that squirt when the animal is threatened. See? Just like Millie...

And thank you to my other reviewers!
