"Glad to hear it, I think," Ari replied, giving them one last glance before getting back to his scribbles. He waved a hand dismissively before speaking again. "Go pick whichever one you like best. Except the main royal suite. I think you know who that belongs to," he said.
"Yeah, yeah, no need to rub it in," Aaron replied, rolling his eyes. He gave Lisa'a hand a squeeze and smiled. "Shall we go have a look milady?"

Aaron started walking and picked a doorway to go through at random. He headed down the hall and looked for anything that looked like a bedroom... he didn't have the heart to tell Lisa he hardly knew his way around the castle.
Ari leaned his head against his palm, staring with furrowed brow at the paper in his lap. He lightly tapped the tip of the quill in his hand against the surface, leaving tiny black flecks as he thought of what more to add to his speech.
I'm feeling a sudden urge to draw Ari sitting in the throne... but my art skills are at too low of a level for it xD}]

I think I will, after all my finals are over xD]]
Ari hardly noticed. He saw something out of the corner of his eye and felt something brush lightly against his ear but thought it was just a fly. He raised a hand and swatted lightly by his ear, growing confused when what his hand hit was a rose instead of empty air. "What...?" he murmured, holding the flower out. "Great, do we have another flower thief already?"
And now I'm heading off to bed, see ya later~]]

Ari smirked. "I should have known," he replied. "So did you explain your situation to everyone in town?" he asked, setting the paper and quill aside.

Ari found himself smiling. "That's good," he said. Then he sighed with mock disappointment. "You're right, it won't be stealing when you pick the flowers anymore... now what will I call you? Now I need to come up with a new nickname!"

Ari held the rose up and twirled it around in his fingers with a thoughtful expression. He stopped with it pointing at Becca and raised an eyebrow. "Maybe," he replied.

"Good, because nicknames are hard to think of," Ari said, laughing a bit. His eyes fell to the paper on his lap and he sighed again, dreading having to read it out in front of people. "So... did you tell them anything about me?" he asked quietly. If it had been possible, he'd be looking at himself with quite the questioning look right now. Since when did he ask things like that?

A wry smile came to Ari's face. "It's good to hear they're happy about it, but that's quite a lot of pressure. I know next to nothing about ruling a kingdom... but I guess I'll just have to figure it out as I go."

Ari's eyes widened with surprise and a touch of fear, the surprise enough to make him sit bolt upright on the throne. He peered over at the wolf licking Becca's face and now looked very confused. "Um, a friend of yours?" he asked.
I'm gonna head off for the night, see ya later!]]

"I should've expected an explanation like that from you," Ari murmured, watching the pup. "Do you want to go check things out?" he asked, itching for an excuse to get out of the throne room.

"Not at all," Ari replied. He heaved himself to his feet, leaving the paper and quill behind on the seat of the throne. "Lead the way."

Ari followed alongside Becca. He had one hand on his sword the whole way, just in case anything tried to attack.

"Wow, when was the last time I was here?" Ari murmured, taking a look around. At first glance it looked like plants had pretty much taken over everything.

Ari quietly unsheathed his sword. After what happened with the bear last time, he didn't want to leave anything up to chance. He walked closer to Becca, casting glances frequently to either side.

Go ahead! xD]]
"Becca! Wait! Don't just -- !" Ari cut himself off, she was already too far away. He let out a sigh and chased after her.
