The words Callum expressed caused Ari to freeze in the moment. Her eyes widened slightly in reaction as they sobered her up just enough to comprehend their meaning. [i]” We won't let your mother take freedom from you.”[/i] 

From a life met with so much ugliness and hate, Callum, likely unknowingly just gave her the kindest gift anyone had ever presented her. Looking at the bottle as she felt butterflies fill her belly she brought the bottle to her lips taking another large mouthful of the fiery liquid. Although Callum saw himself as a force of destruction, Ari saw him as a bringer of peace. 

The rest of his statement did bring a sense of sadness to her mood. Although she knew the Prince would never be interested in her in such a way she had hoped, maybe even the tiniest amount that his actions were met with care for her and not just revenge. She smiled non the less, not allowing her emotion to show before nodding along in agreeance. 

She grinned[color=slateblue] “ What about you?”[/color] she asked her friend[color=slateblue] “ Will you be free?”[/color] She kept her voice low to match his as they reached the fire. [color=slateblue]“Mother does think you to be a troublemaker, so it wouldn’t be a lie. She forbids me from seeing you again”[/color] She scoffed before taking another drink as her balance seemed to waver slightly.[color=slateblue] “ I never listened to her before and I don't plan on starting anytime soon”[/color] She giggled softly to herself.  

Taking attention to the shaman [color=slateblue]“ Oh .. Tea...Right!” [/color] She extended her hand out to Cal offering the bottle.[color=slateblue] “ Would you mind holding this for me?”[/color] Without much else Ariella left Callum's side to fetch the tea from the shaman. She stopped for a moment to appreciate the singing and dancing that Roman and Mina performed, but her eyes too kept getting drawn back to the fire that Callum continued to watch with intent. 

Taking the tea in one drink she set the cup down onto the shaman's tray before returning to Callum's side. She was about to speak but felt like her feet were no longer touching the grass. Looking down she watched the ground float away from her as her eyes widened [color=slateblue]“Whoa…”[/color] she whispered. Her eyes moved up to look at the fire that appeared to dance to the beat of the music, thrashing and crackling as the beautiful lights illuminated the pair.[color=slateblue] “...it’s beautiful” [/color] she said softly as if in a trance by its movement, so focused she didn't hear Anastasia shout about the party.
