Ariah listened as he waited for a response from Sofia only to overhear a response from Kairos first. Though his words were much less honeyed than his own. Though Ariah's thoughts on Sheolan and her were already known to himself. Regardless, he couldn't form a response fast enough as another woman came around to offer a rather heated and agitated response. Though caught in the crossfire he still tried to shy away from it, not seeking enemies, but instead a ticket off this rock in the ocean. So instead he watched things unfold and before long Sofia, the one person who's spark he had sought out and knew the name of, started to light up with emotion. In that moment he let go of how the other girl was a tad aggressive with him to feel... confused about Sofia. She was clearly not with Zeph and he could relate to what she felt, given his past and hatred for the same man. In fact it sparked him to want to give her a hug. Though with things going as they were... quick hug. He was already by Sofia and so it didn't take much to reach out to give her a quick wrap and squeeze. Assuming she didn't draw a knife on him for it. [color=silver]"I'm sorry."[/color] Was all he said, quickly releasing her to avoid trying to make it seem like he was smothering her. After all, grief needs space.

From there though he heard another physical voice radiate out from the room as another girl chimed in rather... oddly. He didn't have her spark visited, but she seemed to be quiet... separate from everybody else. It seemed to be like... fear. Though after hearing her words he looked between the two groups forming and made his choice, [color=silver]"I wish you all luck. Soemthing tells me though we will be meeting again soon though."[/color] From there he gave a gentle wave to Sofia, Kairos, and Nina in favor of jogging after Mila. Taking a bit to catch up to her side of the field before saying, [color=silver]"I'll be willing to take you up on that offer. Name's Ariah, a pleasure to meet you my dear."[/color] Again trying to put a little charm into his words to better his odds of making friends.

One thing was sure though, he was quiet happy to have a secondary option that wasn't going to Sheolan. While he did fully intend to go there one day, it wasn't going to be for a social call. Otadica though, not a bad place to be on the mainland. All the shops, routes, and avenues means that from there he could go anywhere, assuming he wanted to leave in the first place. From what he'd been told the mercantile there is second to none and that may be worth at least a temporary stay.
