Fallen Catalyst and Fiera
"Then let's head in there." Ari told her.Poison sighed. "Whatever. I still don't trust her."
Zia nodded. "Good idea." She headed into the kitchen.Kobra sighed and rolled his eyes. "How's the stew coming?" He asked Jet.
"Almost done."
Ari followed Zia, keeping her head down. Poison glanced over at the girls when they came in.
Zia glared at Poison. "Stop antagonizing her." Was all she said, though, before she turned and stepped up next to Jet. "Stew, you say?"Jet nodded. "Yeah."
Ari stayed near the wall, out of the way. "Quit letting her be so secretive." He said under his breath.
"Great. I like stew." Zia said, bouncing in her feet.Jet chuckled. "Then you're gonna like this."
Kobra had heard Poison, and glared at him.
Poison looked at him. "What?" He said, acting innocent.Ari sighed and walked out of the kitchen after giving a reassuring smile to Zia.
Kobra rolled his eyes. "You know what." He hissed, keeping his voice down so Zia wouldn't hear.
Poison rolled his eyes. Ari headed outside, sighing softly.
Kobra sighed. "Come on, let's get some bowls." He said to Ghoul. "Zia, Ari should probably eat."Zia nodded. "I'll go see if she's all right." She said, and headed out of the room.
Ari was sitting on the ground outside, her backpack in front of her. She was completely silent.
Zia approached her, making sure to make noise so Ari knew she was coming.
Ari glanced over her shoulder and saw Zia. "Hi.." She mumbled.
Zia settled down next to her. "You know, they don't trust you because you do stuff like this." She said. "It probably makes them think you're deliberately hiding something."
Ari sighed. "Walking away is Better than causing more problems in there though.." Ari said softly. "I'm not hiding anything. I promise."
"I know. But I can see how they think you are." She sighed. "Are you hungry? There's soup."
"I'm sorry." Ari mumbled. She shook her head, not hungry.
"It's not your fault they're dumb." Zia said. "You should at least come in. It's dangerous out here and I don't want to leave you alone."
Ari sighed. She didn't want to go in and deal with poison but she nodded. "Okay." She slung her bag over her shoulder and stood up.
Zia stood up too. "I'll beat up Poison if you want."She said with a giggle.
"You can if you want. Not sure how his brother would feel about that though.." Ari answered.
Zia laughed. "Which one's his brother?" she asked. None of them looked very similar to Poison.
"Kobra." Ari replied. She glanced over at Zia.
"Really?" Zia tilted her head. "Yeah, I can see it."
Ari nodded. "I can't. They're really the opposite of each other."
Zia laughed. "Come on, I'm hungry and that stew smelled amazing."
"Okay. Let's go," Ari walked with Zia back inside.
Zia grinned at her. They found the guys still I the kitchen, getting bowls of stew. "We saved some for you." Kobra called.
Ari let Zia head into the kitchen. She hesitantly followed, biting her lip. She knew that Zia was right, how she acted could raise some suspicion.
Zia looked back. "Ari?" She said, "Come on!" She took the bowl Jet was offering her and got some stew.
"I'm right here." Ari said softly, standing by the wall, glancing at Zia.
"Oh, sorry." Zia said sheepishly. There was a table a little off to the side and the group sat down.
Ari bit her lip lightly, sitting down and taking her notebook out.
"This is good stew." Zia said after a minute. "Who made this?"
"Jet did." Poison said, speaking up.
"This is really good," Zia said again, this time directed at Jet."Thanks." He said. "I'm glad you like it."
Ari flipped to one of the stories she had written in the notebook, biting her lip lightly.
Kobra looked interested when she pulled out a notebook, but said nothing.
"What are you writing?" Poison asked Ari. Ari sighed, setting her pen down. "A story." She mumbled.
"You like to write?" Kobra asked.Zia kept an eye on everything, ready to intervene if she needed to.
"What kind of story?" Poison asked. Ari ignored him, answering Kobra instead. "Sorta. It's just stories I remember though. Not ones that I've made."
"Like ones your parents told you?" Kobra asked, also ignoring Poison.
Ari nodded. "Yeah.." She replied softly.
"That's a good way to remember them." Kobra said.
"That's why I've been writing them." She answered.
There was silence for a moment, then Kobra turned to Zia. "So."Zia raised an eyebrow. "So."
Ari was quiet, writing and listening.
"She's an only child," Kobra said. "Who else could have? And if one of them ended up with it, they would have just gotten rid of the file."
