Ari watches as everyone had some many comments. Hearing the guys he wanted to strangle them all but didn't. He was territoral to a point and didn't like other men commenting on that. He was fine with it though so long as they didn't try and take her from him. That just would not do. He lets out a sigh of relief when he was rescued from the circle of drooling girls. He looks straight at Stella and asks in front of all of them. "Why were they doing that?" In a way that clearly spoke of just how little he understood or even knew the reason behind it. He looked at Dylan. Rather unpleased by how thrilled he was. He heard the thought Dylan had and let out a low under his breath growl and his eyes for a split second flashed with power. Yet he reigned himself in and behaved...mostly. He didn't like Dylan just because he liked Stella more than he deemed acceptable to himself. None of which even slightly showed in his facial expression. They were pushed over to a big circular table and he quite literally sat by Stella. Pulling Ashley down to barracade the other side of him. Looking at her like please don't let them get m=e. He wasn't growling even under his breath anymore now.
