A/N: Well here we go with chapter 6. Hope you like it. I'm sorry it's so short.

Ripelle opened his door and allowed Akyna to step in first. As she stepped in she gasped.

"Oh my god Ripelle, this place is beautiful." She brought her hands up to her mouth and smiled.

She looked over at Ripelle who was smiling back. Akyna then turned around and explored the house. Every wall was plain yellow stone. As she turned right and walked into the kitchen she saw a basin of water that acted as a sink, there were only a few plates, bowls, and silverware. There was a round table in the dining room with four chairs around it, in the middle of the table was a basket of fruit. She walked and saw the den; it was big like a normal den would be. There was a small couch, a chair, and a coffee table. Then she went back to the front door and then looked at the hallway and saw a staircase, she looked at Ripelle as a question of permission and Ripelle nodded and she walked up the stone steps, as she reached the top steps she stood in another hallway, to the right was a bedroom, to the left was another bedroom, and ahead was a bathroom. She looked to the right,

"That's the spare bedroom, for guest, but it's not like I have anyone who would want to stay with me." she heard Ripelle say from behind her.

She looked at Ripelle, sympathetically, and then looked to the left,

"That's my room." Ripelle spoke once again and Akyna gave another 'can I?' expression and Ripelle nodded and allowed her in his room. She walked in and had the biggest grin on her face. His room was the only one that had a picture on it. The picture hung on the wall over the bed, which was positioned right under the window. Beside the bed was a nightstand with a candle on it, and on the floor was a red straw rug. Ripelle walked in and sat on his bed and Akyna sat beside him, feeling herself sink into the soft smooth surface.

"This place is amazing Ripelle. Do you think I'll get a house like this?" Akyna asked the raptor.

He looked at her, "Defiantly, but that depends if there's not a house open, or you can always stay with one of the Dinotopians."

Akyna looked at him and sighed, "Damn, I was hoping that I would be able to get out of that hospital, but apparently that's not going to happen anytime soon." She sighed again.

Ripelle looked at her and put a finger to his chin, "You know, if you want to you can stay with me." Ripelle almost slapped himself, 'YOU IDIOT!' he thought to himself as Akyna beamed.

"REALLY?" she exclaimed with joy and Ripelle nodded and she threw her arms around him, "OH THANK YOU RIPELLE!"

Ripelle felt the air leave him, "Ye… yeah, o…oka…y. Um…Ak…Akyna… Ripelle…can't…bre…breathe."

Akyna let go of him allowing him to gasp for breath, "Oh, sorry." She looked at the gasping raptor, "I can get a little carried away."

Ripelle nodded, "I noticed." He said as he recovered his breath.

Akyna jumped up, "I'm going to go get my stuff, I'll be right back." Akyna began running out the room but before she did, she turned back around and ran back to Ripelle,

"Thanks again." She pecked him on the cheek and ran off.

Ripelle's face grew hot as he touched his scaly cheek with his claws,

"You're welcome." He said to no one.
