Even without seeing how her colors shifted it was clear exactly how Zaiya felt. Just by her words alone, at that. Aris smiled softly as he listened, not interrupting, just listening before he reached out to take her hand in his. A gentle comfort, to get her focus back on the moment and not trying to dance around whether she'd said something incredibly selfish or not.
Even if it was selfish, Zaiya was allowed to be. This wasn't something they'd see much, after all.
So, while she mulled over whether it was alright to say she wanted to watch the Eye with him, he pulled her along. He wanted to watch it with her as much as she did, after all. The bracer would be there when the Eye was over. "We're going to miss it if you talk anymore, you know." Was he teasing her? Yes. A little. He smiled warmer before he lead them back out, back to the tents, hand still very much holding hers. Even stepping outside they could see it still, the dazzling lights above.
He didn't make it two steps before he stopped to watch it a little longer. Here was fine, by her. That's all he needed.
