[If the situation weren't so sad, he'd be happy to greet their counterparts. He sees Arajax has also joined the party, no doubt being asked to come along by Aramiya. But where Aramiya isn't immediately aware of what's happened, Arajax can tell just by the look on Tartaglia's face. The mission hadn't gone well, and they probably returned in defeat. Yomiya only serves to confirm it, which makes Arajax fold his little arms over his tiny chest, leaning against the wall.]

I should've been the one to go with, [Arajax says, sighing as he looks at the floor.] Aralauka wasn't ready. Not a good fighter.

[Tartaglia understands that approach- if it were him, he'd probably of volunteered to go himself if he knew what the plan was if he were in Arajax's shoes. But it would of been a little too weird if Arajax had shown up, given what he looks like and his general attitude being too similar to his own. That, and, he wouldn't be sure he wouldn't ruin the plan somehow with that fighty attitude. But still, he can't ignore that Arajax would've been better to have in a fight. Maybe even bought crucial seconds to stop what happened.]

Where is he now? Arajax can free him. Just lead the way.

[That makes him laugh. Of course his little Aranara self would want to go and help his friend.]

Aralauka is most likely on his way to Snezhnaya. You'd have to move quickly to get to him, and even then. The one holding him captive is no pushover. It's probably best left to us to get him back.
