"Well I um, I was thinking it would be nice... if it was, I mean, if you thought so as well." And there he went, back to when he was a skittish fourth year and afraid of what he might say. "Alright, sounds good to me."

It had been a long time since he'd been side-alonged, it was an odd feeling. But he held tight to Ari's arm, placing his other hand on hers and nodded. "Ready."
