A few hours have passed since Bell and Lefiya returned from their "walk". During that time, he was training his knife skills and agility. He made a makeshift dummy and practiced swift strikes and moving around it quickly. By the end of his training, he was very exhausted. His practice dummy was sliced up everywhere and was on the verge of falling apart. He went inside to get some rest in his room. Even after being a member for a few days, he still had difficulty navigating the building. On the way there, he ran into Aiz and Tiona.

"Hey guys" he said when he saw them.

"Hi Bell/Hey Mr. Argonaut!" They both replied back. The two girls decided to walk with Bell to his room. Tiona was skipping while humming a tune that Bell didn't recognize. Aiz was walking silently as usual.

"So, how was your day?" He asked.

"Boring. We searched the dungeon from Floor 1 to Floor 24 and we found nothing" Tiona said with a sigh. Bell was impressed how they were able to get that far on their own. Him with his party weren't able to handle the entire middle floors.

"How was your day with Lefiya?" Aiz asked. Bell glanced away, remembering how she more or less broke his nose.

"It was...interesting" he answered slowly. The two looked at him with a questioning face. They assumed something awkward or embarrassing happened. Soon, they reached his room.

"Well,see you guys later" Bell said as he began to enter his room. He was about to close the door when Tiona stopped him.

"Can we hang out in your room?" She asked with a grin.

"Huh?" He said. Before he could ask, the two quickly sidestepped past him and went in his room. When they saw the inside of his room, they were impressed. The entire room was organized and clean. His bed sheets were neatly straight with a pair of clothes and a towel laid folded. His armor and salamander wool was on a mannequin that was oddly the same height and size as Bell. It seemed to have small scabbards attached to hold his blades. To the side was a desk with books, paper, and pencils. The books, to Tiona's delight, were mostly hero stories. Overall, the room was made for dungeon prep and comfort.

"Wow, your room looks cool!" Tiona squealed as she picked up the books. Aiz looked curiously at the mannequin. Bell was embarrassed how people, especially Aiz, were looking at his things.

"I-I just try to be efficient" he explained while stuttering.

"Yeah, but how and why is there a mannequin here?" Tiona asked.

"My advisor said that it would help me learn how I should wear my gear. The mannequin came in parts, so I just carried them with a box" he explained. While the two were talking about the specifics of Bell's room, Aiz noticed something. Laying on the pillow of his bed, there was a plush rabbit. It had white fur and red eyes, exactly like how Bell looks. It had two blue ribbons tied to its ears. She smiled a bit as she thought of how adorable it was. She leaned over and picked up the small plush. It was very soft, like it was actually made of real fur. She couldn't stop herself from hugging it. By then, Bell and Tiona noticed Aiz focusing on something.

"Hey Aiz? What are you doing?" Tiona asked. Aiz simply turned around and showed them the stuffed animal. Tiona eyes sparkled while Bell's face reddened.

"It's so cute!" Tiona squealed yet again. She ran over to Aiz and started to pet the toy. Then, the two turned towards Bell.

"Why do you have a plush rabbit?" They both asked in unison. For a moment, Bell was too embarrassed to answer. After a few seconds, he was finally able to get the words out.

"I-it's a gift that Lili bought. She was just trying to tease me. The ribbons used to belong to my goddess. I keep it since it's one of my only reminders of the two" he explained. There was much more to it, but he didn't want to say that he cries every time he looks at it. The two girls both smiled at how he had a memento of his past familia. But, it also brought back a question they had asked when he first joined.

"Bell, why did you leave your familia?" Aiz asked. Bell froze as he wasn't prepared to answer that question. He couldn't tell them the truth, as Loki ordered him, so he had to think of a way out.

"I…don't want to talk about it" he said while looking away. It technically was the truth since didn't want to bring up that memory. It did the trick and Aiz eyes widened a bit.

"Oh, sorry for asking" she said in a quiet voice. Tiona gave a sympathetic look and turned to Aiz.

"Hey Aiz, we should get going now" she suggested. Aiz looked at her with a desperate face and looked down at the rabbit plush that she was still hugging. She finally turned to Bell and had a expression of a little kid.

"Is it alright if I can have it for the day?" She asked quietly. Tiona and Bell were quite surprised that Aiz would ask that. She never had an attachment to any item except her sword.

"Sure, just please be careful with it" Bell said. Aiz's face lit up a little and she had the smile of a child. Tiona couldn't help but laugh while Bell blushed at it. After that, the two girls left his room, leaving Bell alone. He still had a faint blush on his face from what Aiz asked.

"Never knew she would like stuff animals" he remarked with a chuckle.

Back to the two, they were walking towards Finn's office to give him a report of their search. Aiz was still hugging the plush like it was her most favorite thing.

"Hey Aiz, why did you ask to have it?" Tiona asked.

"I...just wanted to hold it for a bit longer" she explained with her blank expression returning. Tiona sighed as that was one of the rare moments that Aiz acted that way. By then, they had reached the door to his office. Tiona knocked and was answered by a, "Come in". When they opened the door, they were greeted by Finn who was sitting behind his desk.

"Hello Tiona and Aiz, I assume you are here to report about your search?" He asked.

"Yes. So far, we haven't found any trace of her up until floor 24" Aiz reported. Finn was silent and had a calculating expression.

"It seems that she hasn't been noticeably active since that attack. I asked Gareth to check on whether there had been any news about her. Not a single bit of information" he explained. Tiona sighed and Aiz had a more stressed face.

"It's okay that she hasn't attacked another person, but we still don't know where she is or what she's doing" Tiona said with an annoyed tone. Finn chuckled grimly at it.

"You are right that she hasn't harmed any adventurer that we are aware of. I just hope she turns up sooner or later, without there being any accident" he said. He knew it wasn't true since every time she had shown up, there was some form of trouble. It wasn't easy to think that she could be anywhere in Orario, waiting to make her next move. He was thinking on what their next move should be when he noticed something peculiar. Aiz had her arms crossed the entire time that they were talking. At first, he thought of it as nothing. Now that he actually looked, she appeared to be hugging something. It was white all over with red eyes and long ears. A rabbit plush? He never recalled Aiz owning anything of the sorts or would ever think she would get one, Curiosity got the better of him.

"Aiz, What are you holding?" He asked. She looked slightly confused at the question. She looked down to where his eyes were and saw that he was implying the rabbit.

"This? It belongs to Bell. I asked if I could keep it for day" she explained. Now he was more confused. Why would she ask to temporarily keep it? Better yet, since when did Bell have that? He knew that practically no one in the famila owned stuff animals, due to routine room inspections.

"There is nothing wrong with holding it, just be careful with it" he said. Aiz replied with a nod and then hugged the plush tighter. He and Tiona chuckled at her antics.

"This boy certainly has changed Aiz. I should give him my regards sometime later." He thought. The three then discussed possible plans to deal with the whereabouts of Revis. After they finished, the girls left the office and went to great hall to eat. When they got there, they sat down with Tione and Lefiya.

"Hey guys, you have the report to the captain?" Tione asked,

"Yeah, he said we should not keep searching for now" Tiona explained as she ate. Lefiya was, of course, asking about what Aiz has been doing. Aiz was instead focusing on something else.

"Bell isn't here?" She said in a confused voice. When she said that, the others glanced around. Bell wasn't at the hall.

"Maybe he went to sleep early?" Tiona suggested as she bit into her chicken. Tione and Aiz nodded in agreement. Lefiya was shaking in anger for him grabbing her waist. The group talked some more and they soon finished their dinner. Each of them got up, said goodnight, and went to their rooms. When Aiz got to her room, she changed into her sleep wear. As she got into bed, she looked at the rabbit that she placed on the nightstand. An idea popped into her head and she grabbed the rabbit, pulling it into a hug. The comforting feeling of snuggling with the plush brought a quick wave of drowsiness.

"Bell…." she quietly whispered as she slowly fell asleep.
