<br/><br/>Ari's quick eye noted Ilene's entrance and the looks she cast over the crowd. Honesly, she was a bit suprised that the girl had decided to show up at all. She had a bad habit of finding 'distractions' about the town, one she was well known for her.  Mama and Papa, of course, frowned on her keeping company with Ilene.  They had nothing good to say about the girl, but Ari, out of a sense of stubborness as well as a sense of awe at the girls bravery when it come to boys, insisted upon including her in her small circle of friends.  Besides, the look on her parent's faces when she told them she was off to visit was worth the a pound of gold.<br/><br/>Waving her over, Ari scooted over on the bench, making room at the table and making Ilene welcome, blushing as she did so, frowning at Gara's crude remarks, knowing the Ork was joking, yet still uncomfortable with the subject of... well, boys and things you did with boys.<br/><br/>"Don't mind her, she's just..."<br/><br/>And then, there was a break in the story and a moment of silence.  She rolled her eyes, knowing without even looking, that it signaled the appearence of Reyata.  Oh, how she wished she could hate the girl at times, but really, despite all her grumblings, the elven lass held a warm spot on her heart.  Yes, she was too pretty, too perfect, and yet, she was a fun to be around and the rivalry that they had developed between them was more friendly then not.<br/><br/>Waving the girl over, a bright smile on her face, she made room as well, taking note of how beautiful she looked, and sighed at how easy it was for her achieve that beauty.  She had to hold back a giggle at Gara's remark, though, and suddenly her world was right again.  "Glad you could grace us with your presence, Princess.  Hope we're not keeping you from anything important.  You two want something to eat or drink?"
