A/N: I am sorry it has been so long since I posted a new chapter and I thank all of you for being so patient. I have been having a hard time finding the time to write the chapters but I will try and post the next chapter as soon as I can. In this chapter I am afraid that both Nel and Albel will be out of character a little bit, I do my best to keep them the way they are, well I hope this chapter was worth the wait.

Chapter 7

Nel and Albel arrived at the "Wyvern's Tail Inn" in Airyglyph. They went up to the desk to ask the girl standing there for a room.

"How many rooms?"

Albel gave an immediate answer without a second thought.

"Two"

"I am afraid that there is only one room available, all of the others have been taken for tonight. If you don't mind sharing a room together you can stay here."

Both Nel and Albel got bright red in the face at the thought of sharing a room together. There was silence for a moment before Albel broke it.

"I don't care."

Albel turned his still red face from Nel.

"Well I guess if you are fine with it then I am too."

Nel then turned her still crimson colored face away from Albel.

"The room is 500 fol please."

Nel took out her money to pay the girl for the room.

"I will pay for the night to repay you for getting me those daggers, though the costs are very far apart."

"Whatever, do what you want."

Nel paid the girl and was told where their room was located. They both went upstairs to see how they would be able to spend the night together, if they could at all.

"I hope there is another place to sleep in the room instead of the bed, I don't want to sleep in the same bed as Nel, I would prefer to sleep on the floor."

Albel then looked over at Nel who had a slight smile on her face, well it looked that way to Albel.

"She doesn't look to worried about the whole thing."

They finished climbing the stairs to the level of their room and started walking down the hall toward it. They arrived and opened the door. Inside they saw one bed ("Oh great" thought Albel), a fireplace and a bookcase that had only a few books inside. It was a small room but it was enough for two people to spend the night comfortably. Nel's and Albel's eyes locked on the single bed in the room and the red was slowly starting to creep back onto their faces. Albel's thought came back to his head after a few moments.

"There isn't any other place to sleep in here, well all I know is I am not sleeping on the floor, so maybe I can convince Nel to sleep either on the floor instead of me, or ask if she would mind sharing the bed."

Nel had her own thoughts racing through her head.

"I wonder what we are going to do about this, right now I would prefer to sleep outside instead of sharing a room with this guy."

Nel and Albel just stood in the doorway looking in the room. Nel snapped out of her daze, came back to her senses and walked in the room. This caused Albel to wake up from his daze as well.

"Are you coming in here too or staying out there to freeze?"

Albel looked at Nel and then just turned around and walked down the hall toward the stairs. Nel ran to the doorway after him.

"Where are you going?"

"Going to get something to eat, haven't had anything all day. There is a place to eat not far from here, I will be there."

"I might join up with you there a little while later or look for another place to eat instead."

"Do whatever you want Nel, I don't care."

Albel walked down the stairs to the ground floor and left. Nel closed the door to the room, went to sit on the bed and think. She laid down on her side of the bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"First I meet this random guy at the bar in Kirlsa, train with him in the Traum Mountains, and now I am sharing a room with him at the inn in Airyglyph, and to top it all off I don't even know his name! As soon as he gets back, I am not going to let him sleep until he tells me once and for all what his name is."

Nel continued to lie on the bed for a little while until she finally closed her eyes and fell asleep.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry it took so long to write, I don't really write during my vacations lol. Well I will work on the next chapter as soon as I can, after a couple more chapters I will probably go back to the split points of view again. Also I am planning on making a sequel for this story after I finish it so I can't wait for that. I will be sure to make the next chapter an exciting one, so please review and tell if this chapter was worth the long wait, please continue submitting amazing reviews-
