"Things do seem to run a course that we can not control" she admitted. Sometimes that was hard to know exactly when that was or even if you were okay with it when to start something new. "Good to know it did not make you too sad." The dancing had been nice as it seemed they had reached closing time. "Guess that means we are going home, want to walk back? It's not that far and the cool night breeze could feel nice." Amber Louise Stephenson |

You couldn't control much of the elements of your life. She hadn't even expected to be taking this holiday but here she was being asked by Blair if she wanted to walk back with her. They were going to the hotel after all so it made sense to have safety in numbers. "Somethings in life you can't help but I would like to walk home with you" she replied with a smile. The night air would help deal with some of the cocktails they'd drunk and before long they were in the old town and walking towards the lights of the city. Those in turn would lead to the hotel.

"I agree and sometimes you just have to deal with the current and now which this current and now seems nice," she said. Maybe she was a little drunk or maybe she felt a natural high the truth was that she did not know and she was not going to overthink it. She did take the time to look at the lights once they had gotten to old town. "I do like the lights but I know that is because they give me hope not that I did not have too much of it to begin with anyhow. So, do you think we will hang out again when you have time?"

It might well be both in play as Blair spoke. In turn Amber could listen the rest of the night to her and it felt good in the here and now. Perhaps even the days after this as well. She was a little drunk too but knew not to totally overdo it on her first night here. The lights looked so pretty and showed the promise of progress like other cities did but here was also hope for a species of people who had to hide in other parts of the world. "I would love to hang out with you" Amber replied feeling a little wobbly but still moving in the right direction and safely. "You know this whole island brings hope for those who are different and to those who care about the future. I like you Blair" she replied. Now she'd said it and the look and smile backed up her words. She didn't believe in love at first sight but it was clear they did get on for starters. Blair King |

She nodded and spoke. "We should make sure to do that then" she said calmly. Maybe she was a little drunk but not to the point where she did not realize what might be going on for she did not allow that to her or anyone around her. "Oh really?" she said as she helped Amber up a bit. "You're leaning," she said as she laughed. "Look take a seat right here on this bench." "Yeah I mean you were looking at me pretty hard at the club," she said as she shook her head. "I thought well if she likes me would I be lucky and now I know so there is that for us maybe now whatever that might be." Amber Louise Stephenson |

It wasn't the alcohol talking here. Amber really meant what she said as she sat down on the bench and felt a little steadier. Then she giggled a little; a happy laugh and then nodded. "Thank you Blair. I'm not sure what we'll end up doing later on but hopefully what's left of this night out will be fun. And the days after that". Then she took her hand. A kiss might be a bit much this early but it still sent a signal. It was also hope of more. Blair King |

"No problem" she said honestly. She knew sometimes she could be too nice but that still did not stop her from doing it. Everyone had things about them that would always remain and that was hers. She noticed when Amber took her hand and she nodded. "Are you asking me to go on a date?" Amber Louise Stephenson |

Amber had cast out a line hoping for a nibble. Blair seemed to pick up on that as she posed her question after pausing. "We could have a date if you want that too" she posed giving her a soft look. "Lets get back to the hotel first. I don't think it'll be hard to find it we keep following the city lights" she added. She also noted landmarks on the way there so had some idea of how to get back anyway. Blair King |

She nodded as she listened. "I do like the thoughts of getting back to the hotel, I just had to pause for a second and admire everything," she said as she stayed close to Amber as they walked back. "I think a date might be nice, we seem to get along well. It makes me wonder what else may be in store." Amber Louise Stephenson |

Looking at Blair she said "this is a pretty city but you still need to be careful. I can give you a taster of what could happen as well". This did feel really good as she firstly gave Blair a kiss and offered a suggestion. "Your room or mine?" The bright lights were part of plenty of cities; any city could also be dangerous but could be handled if you took care. Just like her home of New York. Blair King |

She nodded in agreement because she did whole heartedly agree. "No worries there Amber I am going to be as careful as I can and you should be careful too," she said as she happily smiled. "How about yours and maybe mine next time?" She was still playing it by ear so she knew to be careful, extremely so. Amber Louise Stephenson |

So it would be her room first. Amber didn't mind that as she replied "I will be careful. I'm from New York and that's not a safe city". So later on they were back at the hotel and at Amber's room as she let Blair in. Then her shoes finally got removed to ease sore feet. The walk had mostly sobered her up but she still had that buzz of the fun they'd had tonight. "I'm not sure how much sleep we'll get but tonight really was a lot of fun" she happily said and added another kiss. Blair King |

Considering she did not consider herself to be a heavy drinker she felt better now that she was sobering up because she felt like it would give them both a chance to be more aware of what was going on and that was always a priority for her. She felt Amber kiss her and she took a small bit of time to smile into it. She did not know if she could say anything about what was going on or might happen here but it did feel nice. "I could probably skip sleep for a little while if you wanted." New York? "Maybe it is better now?" Amber Louise Stephenson |

Her room was the double bed, a little bit of a kitchen and a TV. Also the small bathroom but all you needed. She heard the question as she sat on the bed and took of her jacket. Tonight had been fun but it made her think of what was actually going on at home. "I don't think its improved at all. The friend of mine who told me about here came two years ago to do her masters degree. A new anti-oddity group formed after that called the friends of humanity. They've gone quiet recently but they were vocal before STRIFE got defeated and splintered. Things are also hard economically and I lost my job before coming here". Just telling Blair all that was depressing when she'd hoped for something good. Blair King |

She would never think that someone could share too much especially when you were trying to get to know them. It was a good exercise when it came to getting feelings out and that was something that she sometimes knew people could shelter themselves on rightfully so. She was a bit surprised by the answer but it was an honest one. "Okay," she said as she took a seat on the bed. "That killed the mood but I am glad that you were honest. I much prefer someone be honest rather than just say it is good when it is not. Killing the economy is never a good move." Amber Louise Stephenson |
