> James was working his way up the wall when he spotted the hand Dimitri offered. A slightly surprised laugh escaped his mouth and he smiled. "Good to see I'm not the only one trying to help." Taking the hand he made it in 6th. A pleasant surprise really. From the top he spotted Ariella headed to the bleachers. Curious he made his way down leaving the other. Her walk was kind of off meaning she was probably hurting. "Are you alright?" 

Ariella sat down on the bleacher as she rubbed her knee, looking around trying to see how she could get out of here but the only way out is with the professor actually telling them to leave. Besides, if she left.. where would she go exactly? As she rubbed her knee, her eyes turned to a guy, James. Who walked up to her and asked if she was alright. Her face suddenly turned a bit red, from embarrassment and she got a little nervous. But managed to speak of course. "I'm fine.. just I hurt my knee. But I will live. It does hurt a bit though, but again.. I'm fine.. I kinda decided to sit out the race since.. I knew, I wasn't going to make it in the first place. Well.. I tried.. running but I fell..." and she talked, something that happens a lot when she gets nervous. Ariella smiled at James. "Don't worry.. I'm fine.." she nodded speaking the truth. The pain was probably going to fade away later on. "Oh and congratulations for at least making it to the finish line." Ariella said happily as she stopped rubbing her knee and stood up slowly. It was probably time to go?
