Hobie was very interested in you, for no matter how crazy the orders and mandates were from the Spider Society, you always followed them to a tee, without fail. He thought you were some blind, obedient little lamb, which you were--but you secretly resented that part of you. As much as he wants to get you out of there, he figured it'd be better for you to figure that out on your own. "Don't you want to be free of all this? Come on, I know you've got it. Give in to the need to stop obeying."
