Ring in the New Year

[Noss Ortise]

"I cannot wait for the fun and merriment!"
Noss exclaimed as they waited in line for the passenger ship to Strahl. They had tickets on the Sierra, god knows how. A lot of people were headed for Strahl, and so the Skydock was rather crowded. So, of course, Noss would turn a few heads when she said.
"Lucia, I'm itchy. Can I disrobe?"

[Lucia Garusa]

She couldn't help but blush brightly upon hearing her question. She was used to this, as it wasn't the first time. Still, you'd think she'd learn by now "I told you...not in front of other people. Later, when we're alone." Her comment raised even more eyebrows, though a quick glare at all of the gawkers was all it took to get them to look away. She sighs, then looks to Noss, unable to help but smile softly.

[Noss Ortise]

She nuzzled Lucia lightly and closed her eyes. She was comfortable with Lucia, despite the itch. It just felt so unnatural.
"What are we going to again? You said it was fun. I like fun."

[Lucia Garusa]

She smiles lightly and looks down to her "We're going to Strahl. I haven't been there yet, and everyone else seems to be in a rush to get there, so I figure now's as good a time to go as any" She then smiles lightly "Where does it itch?"

[Noss Ortise]

"My back, where the undergarment is... I don't like them at all."
She said with a big frown. She reached back and tried to scratch but couldn't quite reach.
"Don't make me wear those anymore, Lucia, please."

[Lucia Garusa]

She smiles softly and begins to scratch her back. "Sorry, but that would bring unnecessary attention to us. Besides...you get used to it eventually." She then looks at her, still scratching. "Well...I don't know...your outfit isn't too revealing...we'll see..."

[Noss Ortise]

"Thank you, Lucia."
She leaned over to kiss Lucia's cheek lightly.
"Will it be cold on Strahl?"

[Lucia Garusa]

She blinks a bit, then shrugs "Don't know...like I said, never been there. I guess we'll have to see." Though she pretended not to care, she definitely hoped it'd be warmer, even if only a little. She was not, by any means, a fan of cold weather.

[Noss Ortise]

"I remember being very, very cold once. I don't remember where I was or what I was doing, though."
Noss said thoughtfully as Lucia scratched her back.

[Lucia Garusa]

She nods and continues to scratch. Though she didn't say anything, she vowed to never let Noss go through anything like that again. She then looks to her "Back feeling any better?"

[Noss Ortise]

"Mhm!"
Noss heard the call "Sierra now boarding at Level Three" but thought nothing of it. They were going to Strahl, after all.

[Lucia Garusa]

Her head perks up as she hears the announcement, and she ceases with the back scratch as she starts to move, gently pulling Noss with her "That's our cue, Aya. Let's not miss our ride"

[Noss Ortise]

"I thought we were going to Strahl?"
Noss asked, very confused.

[Lucia Garusa]

She nods "We are, and the ship taking us there is the Sierra. Now hurry up before we miss it. These tickets were expensive."

[Noss Ortise]

"Okiedokie!"
Noss skipped and held Lucia's hand tightly, happily being dragged along with her lover toward the ship. She had a childlike innocence, which was fitting since her memory went back all of a few months.
