Arien shook his head vigorously.
"Of course you do! Besides, you're willing to put other people ahead of yourself. How is that not considered an awesome power?"
(He's talking about the actual power and then saying that putting other people before yourself is also a cool power)
(AW thanks SG)
Ellie sat on the floor with Arien. She leaned over and hugged him. "Thank you so so much," She said hugging him with a few tears rolling down her face.
Arien hugged Ellie.
"Anything for you."
Once Ellie heard those words she let go of Arien. She looked him in the eyes with a blank expression. A few seconds later she broke down.
"Did I say something wrong?!" Arien honestly didn't want her to cry.
"No, the opposite actually," Ellie said through sobs
Arien wrapped his arms around her.
"I'm here for you. Always."
Ellie looked at Arien and started crying even harder.
Arien didn't know what to do, so he just patted her hair.
Ellie was confused by his action. She wiped her tears and gave a small giggle.
Arien sighed.
"I truly have no idea how to interact with people."
Ellie looked at him. "Well, at least you tried," Ellie said wiping her eyes.
"I just hope you feel better." Arien smiled.
"I'm not sad Arien," Ellie told him calmly.
Arien smiled.
"Thats wonderful!"
"Not many people at my hometown treated me nicely," Ellie told him rubbing her forearm.
"Well, that's on them for hurting such a wonderful person!"
"Wonderful?" Ellie beamed. A little confused though.
"No one should be allowed to hurt you!"
"Y-Your d-d-defending me," Ellie stuttered.
"Of course!"
Ellie hugged Arien again, "Thank you," Ellie said sincerely. "You are one of the nicest people I've ever met,"
Arien blushed.
"Ah shucks…"
Ellie blushed when she noticed Arien blushing. She noticed she was blushing. She covered her face and smiled. "Sorry," She awkwardly giggled.
"Don't be. You look lovely when you smile."
Ellie blushed even harder. "Really," Ellie mumbled.
"Of course!" Arien smiled.
"Thanks Arien," Ellie said smiling and blushing really hard.
Arien hugged her again.
Ellie hugged back. "What's this for," She whispered to him.
