"Your'e a fool" Iya mumbled softly but did not resist the hug or the hair stroking. She had to admit that it actually felt nice and knowing that Ari cared about her as well was also a bit of a surprise. Still the submarine sighed "Thank you..." The slender arms wrapped around Ari though the grip was clearly uncertain. "I've unlocked the channel.....you can leave whenever you like" Iya stated. She had only locked the channel so that no one could interrupt but she had said all that she had intended to and thus the other was free to leave if she wished.
