House.

Ari was woken up early from Arask, he groaned in displeasure.

"Lemme sleep a bit moreeeeeee.." For some reason, Ari was able to sleep fine with his mask on...It was kinda creepy to Arask.

"No, get up already. If we go now, we'll be able to make it by nighttime." Arask grabbed his blanket away, leaving Ari to the cold air. His cute panda bear pajama he got custom made, were flimsy against the cold morning air.

"Stopppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ari was getting grumpy. He always was a late sleeper, and was really grumpy when he was cold.

"We have to go!"

"No!"

"Get up Ari!"

"Nooooo!"

The struggle went on for a few minutes, the camp already went to see what the commotion was about.

"W-ut's happening??" Livia rubbed her eyes. She looked into the tent and frowned. "Stop fooling around! You just woke us up due to your noisiness!"

Ari and Arask stopped after hearing Livia's angry voice. After Livia left, Ari immediately turned to Arask.

"Alright that's done now, so out! I need to change." Ari grumbled around and booted Arask out of the tent. He put on a brown trench coat, some long brown boots, a red scarf, a white shirt, and black pants. He was looking pretty stylish

Ari decided to go on a short walk before leaving. He went towards the lake not too far away.

As you was strolling around, he noticed Lixian leaning against the tree with a book. Lixian also noticed him when he got closer.

"What are you doing here?" Lixian glanced at Ari, before turning back to his book.

"I'm just walking around before we head back to town." Ari smiled gently.

"Well you should enjoy the view before we go back atleast." Lixian nodded his head to the lake.

Ari looked in his direction and was momentarily stunned by the beauty. The mountains blocked off half of the morning sun, as the pink and orange colors floated out. Making it seem like a painter's canvas spilling out over the horizon. The lake was glistening beautifully under the light.

"Wow...that's...really beautiful." Ari widened his eyes. He savored this picture in his mind.

"It is." Lixian nodded in agreement.

For a while, they just stared at the sun that was gradually getting higher and higher. The pink and orange faded, and turned into a nice sky blue color. Ari and Lixian unintentionally grew a tad bit closer after this.

Ari realized that it was probably time to go already. He snapped out of his thoughts.

"Ah, well i'll be going back." Ari quickly rushed back to the camp. As he was running, he had a thought.

"Huh, maybe Lixian isn't one of those cold, aloof types. He seems like a nice guy." Ari smiled to himself under his mask, as he reached the camp.

There, Arask pointed at him.

"There you are!" Arask ran and tackled him to the ground, before getting up and dragging Ari away. "Geez, where were you?! We were about to leave any second now!" Arask placed Ari in a wagon.

"I was just going on a short walk." Ari pouted.

"Yea sure, a short walk that was over 45 minutes." Arask looked at him.

"Ehh..." Ari turned away.

"Sigh, just don't be so late next time."

"Of course!"

They fooled around for the rest of the journey, andAri especially liked the food they provided.

When they finally got back to town, it was nighttime and Ari was very sleepy. He got his bags slowly and stumbled his way to his room in the inn. He really needs to get a permanent residence...

He sighed as he dumped his bags on the floor and just changed into a clean long shirt. He fell asleep thinking of all the yummy foods he'll eat tomorrow...

---

When Ari woke up, what greeted him was a mess. Somehow, when he got back he didn't notice the bag was open. When he dumped it on the floor, the items spilled everywhere and he was too tired to notice it.

Also when Ari just changed into a long shirt, he threw his clothes everywhere. It ended up on the lamp, curtains, bathroom floor, bed, and carpet. His socks were even jammed into the fireplace.

He sighed as he lazily cleaned the mess and dressed into a long black robe, a white shirt, a black cargo pants, and tied his hair. It was his rest day since the guild didn't want tired employees working.

He decided to find a better place to stay at since it was started to get expensive to live here everyday.

He went to a real estate and looked around for houses to buy. Eventually, he decided to get a house that was on the 7th floor of a 10 floor building. It had a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, dining room, and living room. It was perfect for a bachelor like him.

He decided on this house so quickly, since he saw how close it looked to his dream home. He always wanted a house that was high up and was perfect for looking at the sky. It had a window in the bedroom, that shined directly to the bed and he fantasized on how good it looked.

After buying it, he moved his few items from the inn and decorated the place. He was very happy, since back in his world he never brought any houses. Only renting them, or using the dorms provided by the college.
