So that's what he was here for? He wanted a spar with you?
[ It's not that Aria can't hold her own in a fist fight (see: what happened with Zenos at the end of the world), but it's certainly not the first thing one might expect from a Scholar. ]
[ Oh, buddy. She considers beating around the bush, but he does deserve better than that. ]
He probably wanted to fuck.
It's been a thing since the whole meteor nonsense, so we mess around whenever he's in town. [ Why she's explaining herself? Who the fuck knows. Whatever. ]
I didn't think he'd be showing up today of all days
[ As much as Ardbert had been wondering if this was the case, he'd actually thought he was just reading into it all too much.
Then Aria comes out and speaks of it like it's nothing.
There's a lot of silent staring at his phone while also trying to deal with Estinien, so the answer probably doesn't come right away. ]
I see. Sorry, I didn't mean to pry that out of you.
[ He literally didn't, but. ]
Well, I did promise him a spar when we first met, so I will humor him.
[ He needs time to process all of this, even though it's obviously none of his business and really has no bearing on him. It's not like Aria's penchant for falling into bed with people is a secret to him, so he shouldn't be that baffled. He just needs a minute. ]

If you want him to piss off, feel free to tell him I say you're not a consolation prize.
