Ari was happy to hold her in his arms once more. He kissed her forehead yet again. Old habits died hard. Even harder when you weren't trying to break them. He smiles as he just held her. He watched her and was eyeing her like he was making sure she didn't remove it. Relieved when her hand lowered. He was rubbing her back lightly when she shivered. He closed his eyes just for a moment. Holding her in his arms. He wanted to do this thousands of years ago but fate had intervened. This time...he would be the one to keep her safe. He would not lose her again. He lifted her head by her chin. Leaning down and places a light yet loving kiss upon her lips.<br/><br/>Picking her up afterwards into his arms. Holding her safely and securely close in his arms. He decided to walk back towards Robert. To make sure the old man was safe. He proceeded to be carrying her. Looking at the rooms around them. Stepping back into the room containing her father. Watching him down an aspirin. "Hello Robert." He says softly. He shifted Stella yet kept her in his arms. Not showing any indication of letting her go. He looked around to make sure things were still safe where they were.
