The Meeting (Rebels)

Ari notices her on the roof and shrugs, was that just a girl thing? He was used to Kainda by now, who goes on the roof frequently, but then again, he told her to the first time. Ari was happy to see it though, she did things her own way, which would only bring strenght to the group, why would they want little people that were all the same? It was the capitols goal but not Ari's, he liked to see diffrences though he needed to know his ordears would be followed, that was important. You needed that, but as to how they are followed, well, that was open for them to figure out so long as it wasn't a method Ari completely disliked, like killing innnocents ect.

Ari gave a huge sigh as Kainda popped up in front of him again. Ari had told her before to stay home, but here she was again. Ari wasn't happy that his orders were being undermined again, but Kailda was making a habit of it. Ari thought a moment, Kainda always seemed to need him, not that she could no longer protect herself, but that she needed some sort of guidance. Like he had become some sort of hero, and she seemed to revolve around that. Ari also needed to make a point though, especially with a new member here, he couldn't afford to have a band where his orders were thrown aside, that was a recipe for disaster. If he let Kailda get away with it then everyone else would do it too.
"Kailda, you can't keep ignoring me, I want you to be in my room in 3 hours. We'll talk about this then." Ari made sure his tone and posture was harsh, and he made a gesture to the group and continued on.

Alec smiled at Kailda from Ari's side, he rather liked her and she seemed to be just as loyal to Ari as he was, though not as fun loving. Alec was a bit suprised at how harsh Ari was when he adressed her, that didn't seem right. Alec knew that Kailda was one of Ari's most trusted, right up there with Alec himself, and Ari usually gave them fairly free-range. Alec had even thought that Ari was only telling her to stay home as a suggestion now, more a habit than anything. Alec thought maybe he was wrong, then he caught the exasperated look Ari shot him and the wink. Alec laughed, good nature as always then let himself fall slightly behind Ari.
Alec was still laughing as he came over and threw a friendly arm over Kailda's shoulder, having to bend down slightly for the diffrence in height. He then spoke out of the corner of his mouth in a low voice between joking remarks.
"Ari's not that mad, he just needs to seem that way to stay leader." Alec then stood straight again and smiled, watching her. Ari may not completely pay attention now, but Alec was the one to handle the social aspect. Alec knew that Kailda tended to overreact when she thought Ari was unhappy with her, he didn't want her to start freaking out over Ari's halfhearted put down. Alec figured that Ari had either meant for Alec to do this or that a brief worrying would do Kailda good, but Ari seemed to have left it up to him and he thought that Kailda should know that Ari wasn't really mad.
