Arus looked at her and shrugged a bit. He had already gotten over it. He for some reason didn't have his parents hot wired temper or violent one. He must be more like the grandmother he has never met. He listened to her as she apologized. "You are forgiven." he says softly. Starting to just eat and not stab his food. He continues eating as he listened to her. Then she got the phone call and he began to try not to listen in. He continued eating and took a bit of garlic bread. Then eats more of the pasta. Then back to the garlic bread. He enjoyed his cooking but wasn't overly confident it was very good. He had learned to cook by trial and error. Now he was a superb chef.<br/><br/>He lifted his head after she hung up and just looked at the phone. Blinking a bit and his heart went out to her. He saw her and said nothing. Looking away so as to not be staring. Then she looked at him and he looked back up. "Its alright." he says. He stands up when he sees her glistening eyes. Walking over to her and gives her a hug. "It'll be okay." He says softly. "Don't cry. If you cry than don't they in a way win control of your feelings?" He whispers in her ear. Letting her go after a moment longer of a gentle hug. Sitting down beside her and pulls his food in front of him. "Want to talk about it?" he asks warmly. "Everyone needs someone to talk to when they are sad...why don't you try talking to me. We can be friends...if you want to be." he added.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">~At the same time...at the castle of Genovia...the queen was speaking with a man. She looked at him. The elderly woman had been searching for her grandson for a very long time. "What? You believe you have finally found him? Why whatever took so long? I'm not getting any younger. Where at?" She asks. Excitement lacing her words rather than anything else. "The boarding school?" She echoes. One of the maids having been in her employment before she allowed them leave. That very maid was reporting to the queen at this very moment. The queen's eyes sparkled in hopeful excitement. "Really? We must plan to go there then." She says. Calling her advisor to have him prepare for their journey.~</span>
