"Oh, that's fine. The we can share a room. I'm more than sure that Din will sleep somewhere out sight so we won't worry about a room for him." Myra replied.
Din gave Seeker a blank expression. "Motive behind it? I was ordered to do so. The reasoning behind it is of no importance to me." Din explained.
"Din is correct. As long as there are orders, he needs no reason." Myra added on to Din's statement. "Oh yeah, while we are on topic of rooms, I would like some noodles when we get back to your airship." Myra requested arrogantly. Enyo and Din stayed silent, they knew better than to question Myra despite how rude she was being toward Wrath's allies.
"Ah, then I assume the connection between you and your leader is quite weak. How can you act without any determination or motivation?" Arion said, folding his arms. He gave Din a sly grin. "One who follows no light is forever blind."
"That's enough, Arion," Seeker warned his comrade, slightly turning his head toward him. Then, closing his cold eyes, he turned to face Myra once more. Without any emotion at all, he said, "There will be no 'noodles'. You will be presented with an ordinary meal of soup and carrots. Now let us be on our way."
With that said, Seeker, proceeded past the three, Arion following shortly behind him. As Arion passed, he gave Myra an intimidating stare.

Slowly pushing open the door, Nimbus' eyes widened as they took in the sight that was upon them, beyond the door of what now seemed to be the bathingroom. His throat tensed, and sweat began to trickle down his face. In the room was a large bathtub steaming with water, and there appeared to be a girl within it, washing and rinsing her body almost majestically, taking careful strokes with each soap-full palm.
Nimbus swallowed, becoming very tense with a sort of se xual curiosity as he watched the girl, her body appearing to be glazed with the heavenly liquids, her shining blue hair hanging beautifully from her head and dipping into the water. Her eyes were closed, and she almost seemed to be smiling...
Damn...Now that's something to gaze at... Nimbus spoke in his thoughts, beginning to grin slightly. He knew it was foolish to stand watching this girl that he did not know, but his mind and eyes stayed glued, and he found it impossible to look away. Who was this beautful girl, and what was she doing on a Tsunami airship?
Nimbus spent the next five minutes watching this mysterious girl, the entire time wanting to just burst through the door and embrace the girl in a tight hug. It was beyond s exual attraction now. Nimbus for some reason felt like he really knew the girl, and that he had been in love with her for years. It was like he was no longer Nimbus Hestias, and was instead some other boy with fulfilled dreams, drowned in the warming sensation known as love.
He had completely forgotten about Ed, Denith, and Nemo behind him. In the depths of his mind, they had been drowned beyond consciousness, submerged in the darkness of Nimbus' ignorance. His mind was a narrow tunnel sloping upwards toward a glistening shine of mesmerizing light. The strangers were overshadowed by Nimbus' hypnotic vortex.
He felt his own eyes close, and his palm reached up slowly to rest on his chest, upon his heart, pounding a soft decrescendo as he calmed himself. He suddenly forgot where he was, and what he was doing. He forgot about the orphanage where he once lived, forgot about the children, and Vesta, the woman he had loved as his mother for all his life. He forgot about the destruction of his hometown, and the bastard Tsunami soldiers that tormented the lives of Skyrazor, and the cold, dry night in the armory. More greatly, however, he forgot about himself. He forgot who he was, and what he thought himself to be. His own soul seemed to have disintegrated into the depths of time and space.
All that existed at that moment of time was the blue-haired girl before him. Who she was, what she was doing, and what she lived for, what she believed in. It was these questions and wonders that controlled his body, as he pushed open the door all the way, letting the light and radiance consume him.
The eyes of the girl and boy fell upon each other at that moment. A small whisper escaped Nimbus' lips.
"...Mizu..."
