She felt a sense of protectiveness. She doesn't get why, but she reaches back to touch the little amulet that had stayed put in her hair on the flight home. Her fingers brush against the gold warmed by her own body heat. His poke breaks her out of whatever trance they had both been experiencing. "Yea, i'm fine." She gives him a warm smile back. She looks over him, noting how tight her dad's shirt is on him. "We'll have to go shopping and get some clothes that actually fit you. Good reason as any to dig out the plastic. That might be something we do tomorrow."<br/><br/>During the rest of the day, Stella broadly answers any questions about Ari and how he come to be in company of Stella and her father. She does tell Ashley about the heart attack. She shows Ari about the tv, how to work the remote and find a channel that he'd like to watch. She also pops a bag of popcorn for them to share while they watch a corny horror movie. When it gets dark, she takes him out to the balcony to see the glimmering lights of DC sprawl out before them. A full moon hangs in the sky above them, the air cool and crisp.<br/><br/>Stella looks up at the moon fondly as leans on the railing. "I used to collect rocks as a little kid. When I found out that the moon was made of rock, I was bound determined my collection wasn't going to be complete until I got a piece of moon rock," she tells her guardian fondly, remembering good times.
