Your room is the best in the castle

It was quick work. Aria did not bring many things anyway. Aria turned around with her hands on her hips and asked, "So Helen, Jacob? In which tower are you guys?"

Helen: "Oh, we're in the west tower."

Aria sat on the bed with the rest of them, "Oh do let's go to see your rooms. Please. Please."

Jacob chuckled and said, "Girl, I don't think any room in the whole castle is better than yours."

Joseph said in a sulky tone, "I know there isn't."

Helen flicked his forehead and said, "How long are you going to sulk around, huh little brother? It would do you more good if you trained in the time you sulk."

Joseph put his hand to his forehead and mumbled, "But this room....."

Aria slapped her forehead, "You really seem to be in love with this room. I'll ask Professor Thomas tomorrow to switch out rooms."

Joseph jumped up saying, "Don't you dare! I'll win it fair....." His voice trailed off as Aria, Helen and Jacob burst out laughing.

Joseph sat on the bed sulkily again and said no more.

Jacob turned to Aria and said, "Let's leave this sulking brat here. And go see our rooms."

Joseph glared at Jacob but said nothing.

Aria leaned over and shook Joseph, "Oh come on. I would love to see your room too."

It was clearly visible that Joseph was angry no more, but he pretended to sulk as he took them all to his room down a short flight of stairs.

He opened the room and they entered. "There is one hell of a difference between mine and his room. I guess it is the water kingdom's way of motivating students." Aria thought as she looked around.

The room was not much smaller than Aria's. The only difference was that there was one window in this room whereas there were six in Aria's. The bed was also a simple double bed. Joseph had decorated the room with some paintings. "I love how you've decorated it." Aria said as she looked around.

"Well I had to do something to make it seem like home, right?" Joseph said as he threw open the window, which looked over to the forest where light was steadily fading.

Joseph clapped his hands, "It's nothing special. How about we go and see Helen and Jacob's rooms now?"

They all agreed and went to the west tower.

Jacob's room was somewhere along the middle of the tower. He seemed nervous and said, "I'm not such a good bendor like you guys, so it's pretty ordinary."

Joseph seemed to want to agree, but after a stern glare from Aria consoled Jacob with all the others that the room was beautiful.

Helen's room was in the top part of the tower, among the top ten.

It was pretty similar to Joseph's, but had a girlish feel to it.

They cam out of Helen's room and said goodbye to her, descended the stairs and said Jacob goodbye at the door of his room, and came down.

Joseph started walking and turned around to see Aria had not moved from the foot of the west tower. He asked, "What's wrong? You tired?"
