He shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay," Aliana continued feelin a surge of confidence, "Um, what does a story and a dinner table have in common?"

He blinked at her, thinking and unsure.

Aliana looked to Hatta seeing him think. She had a smile on glad he was thinking, "I can give you a hint if need."

He just shrugged his shoulders.

Aliana bit her lip growing worried once more. The bite was painful enough, "Do, do you have an answer?"

Hatta shook his head.

"They, they both require setting," Aliana told the answer. She was looking at Hatta hoping something would happen.

Hatta blinked slowly. "Oh."

"Um, yeah," Aliana rubbed her arm, "It wasn't the greatest was it?"

He shrugged slightly.

"Do, do you have one for me now?" Aliana asked him trying to get just a little bit closer.

He shook his head.

"Okay," Aliana nodded. She was almost able to grab his hand, "That's fine. Want me to tell you another one?"

Hatta hesitated, then shrugged again.

"Is, is that a yes or no?" Aliana asked him quietly.

He shrugged. he was mumbling.

"I'll take that as a no," Aliana responded. She reached out to try and take his hand.

Hatta flinched back.

Aliana pulled her hand back. She was soft as she told him, "I, I really do just want to help."

He shrugged his shoulders.

"Is, is there anything I can do?" Aliana asked him holding herself.

He shook his head quickly.

Aliana bit her already hurt lip once more, "Are, are you sure?"

He shrugged slightly, eyes wandering again.
