Ari enjoyed the back rub, it was strangely comforting, and pleasurable. However, it wouldn't do to let it continue too long unless overstay her welcome on Effie's ship. Ari straightened up, and gave Effie a warm smile in thanks. Ari listened as Effie seemed to go on a Existential tangent about the FoF's true purpose, or the endgame of the Admiralty Code and why they're blockading Human shorelines. Ari placed a gentle hand upon Effie's shoulder, and shook her head. "That is not our Mission. Our mission is to discover the reason we lost contact with our Contact. Let's focus on that, and not worry about things we can not effect." She said in that same calm quiet voice that could be just above a whisper.
