In his mad hurry, Ardeel accidentally bulldozes Al, nearly breaks the door of the inn they stayed at, quickly says hello to Oregano, and dashes promptly into his room, shutting the door in the process. Now back in bed, Ardeel stares at the ceiling in a mad attempt to collect his thoughts. Why did he get so flustered around Lenora? Strangely, upon further recollection, he realizes that this behavior, in many respects, wasn't anything new. Heck, when she asked to sit with him when they met outside the town of beginnings, he got a little nervous. Then there was that time he grew even more embarrassed when she poked fun at the circle he received as a quest reward. These situations alone didn't mean too much, as Ardeel knew well he was somewhat awkward around girls even at the age of eighteen; but what was so different with Lenora? It seemed at this point, every time she had one of those Lenora-trademarked smiles on her face, his nerves were fried! Did he....like her? Like, in that way? No, it couldn't be. A month was way too soon for that sort of thing. The thoughts still press on. Oh, what were these feelings? Deep inside of him? Man, he just doesn't realize. What they do to him. Lo, these feelings, hold Ardeel so tight. He's sure to know, everything's all right. Heeeee's....?
Whatever the case was, Ardeel still can't quite piece it together. In an hour, he would need to start power-napping for the night shift ahead. For the time being, he ponders over other weapons he could use in battle.
