Fallen Catalyst and Fiera
Night came out of his corner, heading for Ari. He'd see the concerned look I her face. "Are you sure everything's all right?" he asked quietly.Zia smiled at Green. "Still, I'm sorry."
"Yeah. I'm sure." Ari said with a nod. She smiled reassuringly at Night. She took of her beanie, it annoying her. She didn't even care about her neon hair at the moment. "It's okay Zia." Green replied.
Night nodded. "Nice hair," he said with a smile.Zia smiled. "Thanks," she mumbled.
Ari smiled sheepishly and looked down, "thanks." She mumbled. After a moment, she looked at Zia. "You feeling alright..?" She asked. Green nodded.
Zia nodded. "Yeah, I guess. It still hurts a little."
"It's gonna be sore for a little while. I have some pain stuff I can give you but it'll probably make you tired.." Ari replied.
Zia shook her head. "I'll be fine without it."Night squinted at Ari. "How do you have all this stuff?"
"Alright." Ari nodded. She looked at Night. "My mom used to be a doctor. She taught me basic first aid stuff. We always kept a backpack in our house with medical supplies and basic survival stuff, just in case." She paused, taking a breath. "When they Came for my parents,I did as I was told, I grabbed the bag and I ran.." Ari finished softly, looking down.
Night nodded, going to stop her from having to continue. "That's okay." he said, "I understand."
Ari nodded. She was silent for a moment, watching the ground. She took a deep breath and shifted her attention to Zia again.
Zia gave her a reassuring smile. They'd talked about this sort of thing before, not in detail or anything, but enough to know the story.
Ari smiled weakly back at her. "You should get some rest." She said softly.
Zia nodded, "Yeah, you're probably right."Night nodded too. "We have a bed- sort of."
"You got shot. The rest will help you.." Ari said softly. Ari wasn't tired and she probably wouldn't even be able to sleep if she Tried.
"I know." Zia attempted to stand, finding it hard to level herself up without straining her injured arm. Night moved forward to help.
Ari helped her up, being closer than night.
"Thanks," Zia said, smiling at Ari. She headed for the small, low bed pushed against one wall. It was the only one in the building.
Ari walked with her over there, worried about Zia.
Zia waved Ari off as she sat on the bed. "I'll be all right, Ari, I promise." She said with a little smile.
Ari nodded. "I know. I'm still allowed to worry about you though." She replied softly.
Zia sighed, knowing she wouldn't win. "Fine," she said. "Just let me sleep, okay?" She lay down, getting as comfortable as she could.Night glanced at Green, then came up behind Ari and lightly touched her arm. "She won't go to sleep if you hover." He said.
Ari nodded. She turned to walk back over to where she had left her stuff when Night touched her arm. She jumped and looked down. "I know." She walked over and sat down by where she had left her backpack.
He smiled at her,a little awkwardly, and sat at the small table. They weren't used to visitors.
Ari opened her backpack, taking out her notebook full of stories. She didn't know what to say to the guys so she just didn't say anything.
This was awkward. Night looked to Green for help.
Green shrugged. "Just talk to her or something." He mouthed.Ari glanced over at Zia, biting her lip lightly.
Night spread his hands out, mouthing, "How?!"
"Ask her questions?" Green suggested with a shrug.Ari sighed softly and grabbed a pen from her bag. She started writing, adding more to one of the stories.
Night scowled at him. "What are you writing?" He asked abruptly.
Green smiled lightly. "Stories.." Ari replied, shifting and looking over at Night.
"What kind?" He felt like he was intruding, but didn't know what else to say.
"Just whatever.." Ari said softly, biting her lip. She tapped the pen lightly against the notebook.
"Well.. What do you want to know?" She asked shyly. Ari wouldn't admit it but Night kind of intimidated her.
He shrugged, looking around. "I don't know- everything! What genre are they?"
"Some are real. Some are fantasy." Ari sighed in annoyance. She closed the notebook and handed it to him.
He noted the annoyance in her voice and frowned. "Don't show me if you don't want to!" He protested. "I was just... Trying to make this less awkward?" He looked towards Green.
Ari took a deep breath. "That's fine. But no offense, you could do it in a better way." She commented softly.Green rolled his eyes at the two of them. "When did you start writing Ari?" He asked her, his voice calm and quiet.
"It's fine." Ari told him. She looked over at Green. "I don't really know. A while." She answered.
"Why did you start?" Night was trying not to be so loud this time.
"Just, I liked stories and I'd make them up in my head. I started writing them down." Ari explained. She was answering Night's questions better now that he seemed calmer.
He nodded, thinking. "Did you like to read, then?"
"Not really." Ari admitted with a shrug.
Night shrugged. "Okay. So... Do you write often?"
"I used to, not as much now.." Ari sighed softly.
That made sense, based on what she'd said earlier. "Too busy?" Night asked, trying to keep the tone light.
"Yeah. And I just don't have many ideas anymore." Ari replied.
"It might take time." Night said, shrugging. "Ideas come and go."
Ari put her stuff back in her bag, biting her lip lightly.
