Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I don't want to mess up our friendship like that. If it made him uncomfortable ..." If Afton didn't want to be around him any more or couldn't be as open anymore Hartley knew he wouldn't be able to handle it. "No, It's better this way. He knows I care about him and that's enough for me."

Hartley didn't quite know how they'd gotten to that subject so was perfectly happy having the subject changed to something a little less personal with a stranger.

"Sumi showed me." He nodded, fishing around for a bit until he found the phone in a pocket. "He wanted to make sure I could put Arsinoe's number in it."

Erato scanned her, smiling as she popped up in his contacts and he saved it with a note who she was. "There we go ... thank you." He smiled as he sent her a message so she'd have his number and tucking his phone away. It would be ncie to have someone else he could call that wasn't Arsinoe when Afton was busy working.

"Yea, that would be nice." He smiled as he got up, stretching before settling back on his feet properly. "Once around the park and then I can go home and see if Bermuda is online. I can tell him I made a new friend and maybe he wont freak out I went out by myself."
