Ari let out a grunt of annoyance as he was pulled along but once they stopped the irritation disappeared from his face. His eyes were wide as he looked over the landscape. "It's nice.... I mean, you don't live in the village?"

Ari glanced at Becca, a thoughtful look on his face. "That so?" he murmured. He couldn't help but feel a little special at her words, but of course he was never going to say that out loud.

"Now why would I want to see that?" Ari joked back. He looked around once more. "But, this really suits a flower thief like you. Hidden away like this, no one would ever search for you here," he said, snickering.
I really love these two xD]]

Ari's finished! (Well at least his head lol): "Hey!" Ari grunted, grabbing his helmet quickly and putting it back on. He spun on his heels when he heard the growl and frowned as he watched the actual bear emerge from the tent. "I'm going to hazard a guess that there's no more food left in that tent of yours," he said, unsheathing his sword. "Stay behind me... Actually, run back and get the other guard at the gate. Taking down a bear is not a one person job."

SOunds good to me xD]]
There was a muffled metallic twang as Ari's sword was knocked to the ground, and a thud as the rest of him fell. "Watch it!" he snapped, turning his head to glare at her. Then he realized how close their faces were and he quickly shut up. His cheeks got warm as he realized how she was sprawled on top of him. "A-Are you ok?" he grunted.

"Just feeling a little crushed is all," Ari said. He peered at her face and after seeing her blush he could feel his own cheeks do the same, but he made no attempt to push her away. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly as he realized something. "U-Um, this might seem weird but could you stay still for a moment?" He reached into his pocket and took out the mask, it never left his side since the party, and slowly held it up to Becca's face. "Why didn't I realize it sooner...?" he whispered.

Ari tucked the mask away and sat up a little bit, propping them both up with his elbow on the ground. "You. You're the girl I danced with at the ball, aren't you?" he asked, his steady gaze serious.

"S-So then we..." Ari's voice faded out as the events of the ball flooded his mind once more. His cheeks were rather warm now and he cleared his throat. "Well... I'm glad we cleared that up..." he said, looking away as well.

Me too! Good night! ^^]]
"Who cares if you're not a princess?" Ari retorted, though just as he looked up at Becca his eyes went wide as she collapsed. "Becca!" he blurted out, scrambling to sit up properly. He slid one arm behind her back and the other under her knees and stood, shifting her a bit in his arms before rushing back to the castle. "Aaron! Is everyone still asleep?" he demanded.
"Huh? What? Oh, maybe? I think so?" the blond replied, very much confused as Ari blew past him.
"Thanks! Take over for me, I'll be back soon!" Ari called over his shoulder as he rushed to the castle physician.

Ari kicked the physician's door open and burst into the room. "Hello? Anyone awake?!" he called out, looking around frantically.

Hellooo!]]
Ari nodded and stepped over to the bed. He gently laid Becca down before looking back to the doctor. "Is there anything I can do to help?" he asked.

Ari nodded. He took one last glance at Becca before leaving the room and shutting the door quietly behind him. He stood directly outside the door, standing still as a statue as if this was any usual guard post. However, a quick glance down at his side revealed his sword was still on the ground in the forest.

After several quiet minutes had gone by, Ari's foot started tapping lightly against the ground. He kept glancing to the sides, making sure no one was coming. It was still fairly early in the morning the day after a huge ball, so it was expected that none of the royal subjects would be awake yet.

A look of relief washed over Ari's face. "Thank you, doctor," he said, rare words coming from him. He looked over at Becca and let out a sigh. "Of course it would come to that," he murmured, almost seeming a little embarrassed at the doctor's suggestion. Nonetheless, he walked over to the bed and picked up the girl once more and after making sure the coast was clear made his way to his room.

Ari carefully pushed open the door to his room and laid Becca down once again after tugging the blankets aside. He pulled them over her sleeping body before looking around the room. "This really isn't suitable for a girl to be staying here..." he whispered, scratching at the back of his head. For the first time in a long time, he started tidying up the room a little.
