Ariel frowned some at the comment about Ben and Eric. She hoped things would get better for them.
And then when Ben said he wanted to meet James, Ariel lit up again. "Oh you should come to dinner! I have recently discovered that is what people do when meeting others." She didn't know how to cook, but between she and James they could figure something out.
She didn't know what fairies liked to eat but she was sure they would find something appropriate. And James...oh, sweet James was so good to her. It would've delightful for all of her friends to know each other.
