Ari barely even noticed her elbow in his side. He looks at her with hurt, confusion and big eyed puppy eyes that just shouted what? I didn't do anything. He lowered his gaze and growled again when she mentioned calling him. Then even more when she said she was going to want to see him again. For some reason that just hurt him a lot. Maybe his brother Set was right. Maybe he was in love with Stella. Maybe he had fallen for Kissa and hadn't known it. He didn't know. What he did know is that she was calling another man to let him know she was back.<br/><br/>Huffing yet turned his back from her so she wouldn't know just how much that hurt him. She even wanted to see him again. he was growling but it wasn't venomous just a bit saddened. He walked away from Stella...far away. Standing in a corner in the opposite side of the kitchen. Still where he could protect her but not where he could be seen for just how hurt he was. He had thought he meant more to her than just a guardian.<br/><br/>He masked over and you couldn't tell anything except his rigidness. Nothing showed on his expression except basically nothing. He just didn't understand. Why was he elbowed for showing how much he didn't like another man interested in her. He didn't like that she seemed to be liking the other man back. He just stayed silent now.
