Jory knew Ari would not tell Gwen so he was truthful. "When I spoke to Gwen she answered all my questions and we talked normally but she would stare at me hard as if she were thinking of some other answer she would have liked to give instead of the one she did give. She seems a bit...distracted and caught up in a world of her own. Do you hang out with her alot?''
The young Huffie was pleased with Ari's response. He loved his family.
''No, she doesn't. Its weird, isn't it? I'm the only one who can do magic in all of my extended family. I wonder how that happens.'' Jory thought for a moment then told Ari, ''And suppose it get worse and you pick up something more weird like... your cat perhaps?'' He found the thought funny but somewhat likely.
Ari nodded. '
Thanks. For what you said about mum. I don't think my dad will ever try to contact us, but I'd like to meet him, just once. A part of me wants to hear an explaination which would excuse what he has done.' the girl said, staring into space, holding back a tear.
'But still, I'm lucky to have so many friends to compensate for his absence. Good friends, like you.' the Gryffie turned to Jory and smiled.
Ari chuckled at her friend's accurate description of Gwen. '
That's true. I think she's trying hard to be polite, but I like her a lot, nevertheless. She's fun if you get to know her, and yeah, we do spend a lot of time together.' she admitted.
'
I don't know. It is unusual, but not unheard of. And I'm glad you're magical, because otherwise we probably wouldn't have met.' How true.
'Nah, I wouldn't pick up living things. My cat would meow or move and I would be aware of his presence. It's only inanimate objects that I pick up.' Ariadne explained.
