Ankyra Sound To the promised land

Arrille had a rather grim look on his face upon hearing that. Perhaps it was for her safety, but by how she said it, Arrile doubted that. There was more to this story no doubt, but he would not ask. 

He shook his head sadly, guess there was no helping that. He lifted his head, only now just seeing how close she was getting and took a sudden step back out of surprise. "Uh..." He wasn't sure how to respond right away, but eventually saw what she was doing, and he realized that they both needed some emotional comforting. They both had it hard, and no doubt she was an orphan too. "We both have had it hard, haven't we?" he said, staying still and allowing her to give some comfort.
