"And speaking of Arthur, I wonder how he's doing. Last I remember, Isabella was still with him and tending to his recovery with the healing herbs you gave him. I wonder if he's still at the hospital with her." said Aleena. "We can always go check up on them to see for ourselves." Jules said to Aleena. Aleena smiled at Jules when he soon picked her up bridal style before he dashed off with her to the hospital. After a short while, Jules came to a sudden stop when his eyes caught sight of Arthur and Isabella walking hand-in-hand together. "Found them! And they look happy." said Jules. Aleena looked to see what Jules was talking about and also noticed the glow around the mongoose couple.
"That glow looks like when we did the thing last week..." said Aleena. "Did the thing? Are you that embarrassed and shy to just simply say we had sex Aleena?" Jules asked Aleena as he teased her. Aleena's just blushed dark red. "I haven't told my sisters yet that you and I had... are amorously intimate." Aleena confessed to Jules. "You're so cute when you're shy and embarrassed." Jules said to Aleena. "Jules, we're supposed to be looking for Arthur and Isabella, not teasing me in public for everyone to see." cried Aleena. "Let them see and be jealous. You're my precious treasure." said Jules. "You never lost your pirate spirit." Aleena said to Jules. "No, just my virginity." Jules said with a smirk on his face. "Jules!!" Aleena cried in embarrassment.
"I'm just messing with you, Princess." Jules said to Aleena with a smirk on his face as he petted Aleena's head causing her to start purring softly. "They didn't get too far. We'll find them." said Jules. With Aleena still in his arms, Jules hurried to find the other couple and shortly they were spotted again. "There they are." Jules said as he hurried over to Arthur and Isabella who were engaged in a conversation of their own. Arthur and Isabella turned around to see Jules carrying Aleena in bridal style. "Princess Aleena and Jules. Good morning. It's good to you up and moving this morning and feeling a lot better, princess." Arthur said to Aleena. "I can say the same for you." Aleena said to Arthur. "I see that you and Isabella got closer than before. Hmm?" Jules said to Arthur. "What do you mean?" Arthur asked Jules.
"We saw you both holding hands earlier...." Aleena said to Arthur. "Is this not customary of surface couples? You frequently have Jules carry you around wherever you both go." Arthur asked Aleena. "He does that out of his own choice. I never once told him to do that." Aleena told Arthur. "Yet you enjoy being in his arms knowing he keeps you safe, yes?" Arthur asked Aleena.
"I do and whenever I'm in his arms, it makes me feels safe and warm." said Aleena. Isabella ears perked up upon hearing that and grinned. "Oh, really? Well, I can truly understand and relate to that feeling. We'll have our girl talk later and share our mutual experiences." said Isabella. "Girl talk? Can you please elaborate as I don't understand the meaning?" Aleena said with confused look on her face. "It's a conversation between women or girls, typically about subjects considered to be uninteresting to or inappropriate for men." Isabella told Aleena.
"Isabella, don't try to corrupt Aleena with any form of modern day thinking that would change her mannerism and qualities that makes her precious to me." Jules told Isabella. "Isabella wouldn't try to influence me anything that you and my father would strongly disapprove of, right?" Aleena asked Jules. "Don't worry, Jules. I know that Aleena is the Sea King's daughter and I'm not going to do that any of that, okay?" Isabella told Jules. "Well, it would give Aleena and Isabella time to get to know each other. Besides, there are some things I'd like to talk with you and Charles about that I'm sure would help me in adjusting to life on the surface better." Arthur said to Jules. "A colonel looking to adapt. Very tactical." said Jules.
"I may had more experience than Arthur but I'm still trying to learn more about the surface world." said Aleena. "Trust me, Arthur. My brother has given me a lot of helpful advice and I'm sure he'll do the same to help you out." Jules told Arthur. "That would be very much appreciated. Not knowing how life works in the surface world has left standing out too much and drawing considerable unwanted attention to myself." said Arthur. "Now you know how I feel whenever I visit Atlantica." Jules said to Arthur. "Mutually." said Arthur. "Oh right, there's this festival that is being hosted later tonight. The king and queen of the Sol Kingdom are going to be there too." Aleena told Arthur.
"The royal family will be out during this city's festival? What exactly is being celebrated?" Arthur asked Aleena. "I don't know yet but Jules mentioned that it had something to do with fire." said Aleena. "The Sol Kingdom's royal family are pyrokinetic felines. Whereas King Leonardo uses hydrokinesis, the king and queen of the Sol kingdom uses pyrokinesis." said Jules. "The two royal families are elemental opposites of each other. One uses water and other uses fire." said Arthur.
