"Ariel." She said, eying him a moment as if to assess any potential
treachery before actually accepting that apple, "My name's Ariel. Which is
usually hilarious, because of the wings. I know." There was actual
amusement in the tone, she was generally the first one making jokes about
finally living up to her name. Right at the moment, though she couldn't be
entirely sure if the amusement was the usual amount or if it was combined
with the relief of finally being close to him.
"You say things like that I'm going to wonder if you're worried about my
reputation or your own." And that was mostly a joke as well, she knew full
well that he couldn't afford to be found by either side and there was part
of her -a part that was slowly getting bigger- that wanted to make sure he
wasn't found. She couldn't be sure just yet whether or not she was
disgusted with herself for wanting to keep him safe.
"So," She said, rubbing the apple on her sleeve before taking a bite out
of it, "What'd you have in mind?" Because if they could figure out how to
not go crazy and leave no one else the wiser for it, well, that would be
best for everyone involved.
