Benjamin had a smile for Ray and looked briefly at Ari and his eyes lingered for a moment on Dia, until he looked back at Ray. While Ari was the aggressive one, she had behaved rather well and his fear for her started to subside. "Would you allow me to talk with Ari?" he asked, "since she is a part of you I want to get to know her too." He looked straight at Ari. "If she agrees to give back control to you after we're done talking of course." He remembered Dia explaining Ari wanted to be in control and would even fight Ray for it. It probably wasn't safe to allow Ari take control, as far as he knew she could be aggressive and was unpredictable, but if he ever wanted to understand her, he needed to get acquainted with her.
