*The kids /are/ looking at Ari, uncertain and a little afraid...but then they're looking at Hellboy the same way... and Darnell.... and even Terris and Fenway. Mitham looks tense, but then he's obviously been "responsible older brother" since Darnell first saw the children in the cave. Terris knows of Ari, and so is just focused on making sure Fenway remains okay, and Fenway, is studying both Ari and Hellboy...*

Darnell: *looks at the others, looks back at Ari* Frankly, after everything they've been through, you're probably the least scary thing they've seen today. C'mon, straighten up. *pats his shoulders* If you're uncertain and uncomfortable, they will be too. C'mon. *pushes back to his feet* It's okay. Like I said, this is my friend Ari. Ari's friendly. He's /nothing/ like any of the demons that just had us. But he does have a similar ability to teleport people - to make them blink out from here and suddenly appear somewhere else. He's going to take everyone to safety. So gather up, everyone. Get close. Hellboy, you and I will stay behind, just in case. He'll come back for us once everyone else is safe.

Hellboy: *nods* Sounds good.

Ari: *m-makes himself sit up a bit more* Ah...g-gather close. The closest to me will definitely be moved. D-Don't, ah... don't be afraid if you don't, mn, disappear with the others, I'll be right back, promise.

Mitham: ...*will urge the youngest in around Ari, getting them to move in close, even rest a hand on Ari. He's torn between moving to the edges or staying near the center of the group... he... he'll stay near the center, so those taken to a new place will have a familiar face.*

Ari: All right... all right, let's go then. *with a last glance at Darnell he waves the little antena at the ends of his ears and the entire group vanishes, to reappear in the gardens of Lord Tekel's manor.*

*Darnell and Hellboy had been at the edges of the gathering, a little apart...but apparently not far enough apart, as Ari's power caught and brought them too. Both are looking around, a little bit startled. Then both are checking on everyone.*

Ari: *slumps to the ground, /exhausted/*

*Guards, startled by the sudden appearance of people, have started to surround the group.*

Ralar: Darnell? Red? *surprised as he also approaches* Fen!! Fenway! *he waves his guards back and picks up his pace to reach his friend!*
