Another morning and this time with an rainy wiew of Aurora,as always Tess and Satou slept together in an warm embrace and once again her Sweetie was the first one to woke up again.

"Good morni-" Tess said as she begun woke up and saw that Satou once again leaved,but this time with an note left for her.

Once she readed it,she grinned and chuckled an little saying to herself "Same old Sweetie. Looks like this will be part of the routine". Now in feet and with an long fifth day in Aurora she needed to get an quick bath and go to the restaurant for see her girlfriend there.

It took time but she was done with the bath in her room and completely dressed in her dress and her rain gear,it begun to take route to the restaurant with an storm happening. Some minutes later she was there ready to go to the table that her parents reserved and now was hers.

"Good morning is Satou here??"

"Ah you must be Tess." The hostess said, smiling. "She's hear and waiting for you, just follow me." She lead her to a table Satou was already sitting at. "Ah good morning Tess. Sorry to run out on you like that so suddenly at least this time I left you a note right?" She chuckled

"More tea for you?"

"Yes please thank you very much."

"And for you miss, would you like some tea?"

"I would love some tea with what,I always order here please. Sweetie what do you want for breakfast??" she asks to her girlfriend.

"Also is there any more people here working excepting you. Since the storm will strike soon and,I would love to know that considering that many tourists have leaved"

Kitan Inn, AHSCA, August 30, 2018. 7:10 AM

Our group goes out of the Inn once more and start heading to the port where the ferries will take them to another island, Corona. When they arrived there, they saw the ferry hat will take them there, The ĉielo. ‘Must be a coincidence’ they thought as they looked at the weather. It seemed fair, blue sky with a couple of clouds, but nothing to worry about.

The ĉielo was sitting in port taking on passangers when the Caroonians arrived to board they were greeted by a young teenage girl "Saluton!" She greeted swinging down from the mast. "Welcome to the ĉielo! This is my ma's ship she's readying our departure soon. It's 20 Credits to Hoshino, 30 for Stillestando and 40 for the trip to Corona. If you folks are looking for a ride we got space!"

“Hello, three tickets to Corona please” Tamaki says as he pays the fare and our group sits down on the ship.

"Granny is doing just fine, thanks for asking. They went ahead and are going to one of the shelters just to be safe. Granny was a bit stubborn about it but that's granny for ya. Mmm let's see I think some farm fresh eggs sounds good to me. There's still much of the staff here they're just going to ride it out here again unless something goes much worse and they sound the alarms. So many have already left ahead of the storm it's slowed down quite a bit."

“Hello, three tickets to Corona please” Tamaki says as he pays the fare and our group sits down on the ship.

"Sure! Welcome aboard we'll be setting off in just a moment here." She resumed her duties once taking the fee. Many folks from Corona heading home other tourists still going to getting the ship ready for sailing. The big sails unfurled they got set off onto the seas.

"Well for now we need to pray that things goes well and the storm don't strikes Aurora or any other of the islands" Tess says glad of Satou's grandmother being now in the shelters. She saw that her girlfriend ordered the same as her.

"Do you like the fresh eggs too right?? And,I see well for now let's pray that things go like now with this storm being your normal evening one"

"I'll pray for sure. Pray that things will work out for the best. Yes eggs are great!"

[Mervay]

"I'll pray for sure. Pray that things will work out for the best. Yes eggs are great!"

"Alright then well we will wait here for our orders then,please advice us when we the eggs are ready" Tess says to the hostess with an gentle smile. When Satou says that she loves them,she remembers when she was the one that proposed her that breakfast.

"I see. I'm glad that you adviced me of order them since when,I proved them,they were awesome. It was delicious" she says happy.

"We'll have your orders ready soon thank you for your business." The hostess bowed and left them to fetch their eggs.

"Glad you like them too! Eggs are delicious I'm glad we have variety. Fish and rice is always nice but other foods are great too even when they get expensive."

The ship leaves the port for Corona, the ship itself was small, but still it was expected from ferries in different countries. Our friends look out the port and saw the waves moe across the sea. The sea seemed bright today.

Blanka checked on her fellow passangers, some above deck others below while maintiang their ship. "Hey folks, want to let you know we're gonna have a brief stop in Hoshino to pick up some more passengers but after that it will nonstop to Corona and we should be there by late afternoon to this evening. If things start getting rough or choppy just head on down below deck. And again my ma is the captain and I'm kind of her fist mate, so if you need something feel free to ask me"

"Don't worry if it ends being expensive Sweetie,I pay for it you just enjoy the breakfast and then we go to that bath that,I told you about" Tess says as she wiews the coast,she sighed thinking that things will be difficult today.

"Did you saw the rest of the islands before,I invited you??"

"Aah you're so wonderful, Tessy! Believe you me, I will make sure to treat you to something very special soon. Oh yes, I have. Remember how I mentioned how Kana and me played volleyball together? Well we got to play teams from every state so I did get to travel around a lot. Sometimes it was odd, we'd have a game all the way in Animalpolis and that's a very long trip from here in Aurora like a good day and a half if things are good! Storms can slow progress and traveling in the wet season means lots and lots of sea storms."

Tess was listening everything what Satou said of her travel to all of AHSCA and she was glad that she knew parts of it. She hoped that the travel will be good since that woud take an long time if the storm continued.

"I see,I'm glad that you have traveled to all the islands,I would love to hear your stories of those travels soon if you want and yeah,I see that the travel could be long and more now that we are in storm season now" she says.

"Yeah we have a bit of a joke here. There's two seasons here, storm season and stormier season!" She laughed a little "Our dry season which is what were finishing means only a little less rain but more hurricanes. Our wet monsoon season is less hurricanes but more rain! Oh but we do have good sunny days here. It's not all deluge all the time trust me just a bit of an odd duck this year goes. Just as the Goddesses have willed it all we can do is put up with it."

Dileva laughed of that joke there it was good but,when Satou told her how the seasons were here and more during this year when tourists are on the islands like nothing.

"Well that's interesting considering that there is an mix between storms and hurricanes,but we must be grateful that most of them are not that mortal right???"

"That's right." Their food arrived. "Ah thank you. Here it is, scrambled eggs." Satou admired "Let's eat! Thank you for the food!"

[Mervay]

"That's right." Their food arrived. "Ah thank you. Here it is, scrambled eggs." Satou admired "Let's eat! Thank you for the food!"

The food arrived and they were being ready for eat it,as always it was great. She was glad that they could begin that date of them with an breakfast at the Kitan and if the storm was off for an time they could try to go to the hot springs or just have that milk bath in the Inn.

"Merci for the food,we appreciate it" Tess says thanking the waitress as she gave her 40 IC of tip. Tess begun to eat the breakfast and as always it was great.

"As always the eggs are delicious. By the way Sweetie if the storm goes off or it's the normal ones of the evening,I was thinking in that we could go to the Hot Springs if that was the case,do you agree??" she asks taking her tea.

"Yes! Once the storm is over and things are good again we must go to our special hot spring spot. The place where I confessed my love to you, it's always gonna be special!" She smiled. "Great thinking Tessy, you're thinking like a true islander now!"

[Mervay]

"Yes! Once the storm is over and things are good again we must go to our special hot spring spot. The place where I confessed my love to you, it's always gonna be special!" She smiled. "Great thinking Tessy, you're thinking like a true islander now!"

"And for me too,I love to be there everytime together as we can. You know because that's where we gave our first kiss too" says Tess blushing with an lovely face of that moment,that memory was the most important one for her of the time in Aurora,including today,the beach and when she knew Satou.

"T-thanks,I guess. I just hope that it stops enough for go there,but if it's not possible,I guess that we can go to the baths of the Kitan,but it wouldn't be the same" she says.

"It won't be the same but as long as I'm with you" she reached out her hand to grab Tess's hand. "As long as I'm with you...It will be just as good anywhere we are."

[Mervay]

"It won't be the same but as long as I'm with you" she reached out her hand to grab Tess's hand. "As long as I'm with you...It will be just as good anywhere we are."

Tess was glad that she wanted to be with her even if the place wasn't the same,she loved that they could go there to the Hot Springs,if the storm stopped or goes to an normal evening storm that she saw since day one here. But if things continued like now,the Kitan would be.

"Thanks Sweetie,thanks. That understanding of you is another of the reasons that,I love you. Both of us can be honest to each other and we still we will be like now,holding hands together" she says Kissing her.

"Now let's eat this before it gets cold"

"Ah I wouldn't mind sharing. Keep the other one just in case he comes back. Don't worry much about the money, they take most anything here because it's easy to get it changed over and it's probably stronger the the IC anyway."

"Waitress," he called her over "as always, the bill is on the tab. I've probably racked up a decent amount of debt on that thing anyways. Come on." taking her arm they walked to the Kitan's inn. Jose greeted reception and went to his room, opening the door he let her in first, closing the door. "Well, here you are. Pretty basic but I've come to expect that here. And there is the view, if it weren't cats and dogs outside, I'd be getting what I pay for. As they say mi casa es su casa, my house is your house, for tonight."

“Ok, thank you” Rose says as they continue looking out the deck. They have no idea of what is in store for them, but they were up for an adventure. They would make a stop at Hoshino, so they might get a chance to talk to some more people before arriving at Corona.

"Glad to hear that the two of you are getting along grand." Aceus would smile "I just swung by to say hi to Anna, and if you guys needed any help. I might know much about farming, but I know a lot..." Aceus shouldered the basket onto his shoulder, allowing him to grab additional items if he needed to. "About carrying stuff."

"We'd love the help and company!" Hina agreed "I'm sure Ann here would love it if you stayed as well. You can even stay here if you need a place, it's not much you can see but it's home."

"Yeah please stay with us." Annabell plead for him.

Aceus would smile "I'll be happy to stay the night. But first, I've gotta work for it!"

What followed was Aceus being a bipedal pack mule, for lack of a better term. Gathering baskets of rice and helping make sure the irrigated ditches were properly filled and emptied, Aceus largely relied upon the two girls for the finer points in farming, before being introduced to Anna's foster parents. Aceus maintained a polite and quiet demeanor, quickly finding himself adept in fixing any broken tools or pieces of farm equipment, as well as taking care of the oxen (it was rather humorous for an ox to act like a dog around Aceus, every so often licking his cheek and nuzzling him. He may be no expert on zoology, but Aceus was pretty sure that was abnormal behaviour).

Once the day began to come to a close, Aceus seemed to take on a more worried demeanor. His concern naturally was for the storm, but it was clear to Anna that he wanted to talk to her about something. Alone.

Marcella closed her eyes tight awaiting the surprise from Aurelia. Once told, she opened her eyes seeing herself in a mirror (I imagine there's a mirror) and her jaw dropped in awe "AAAAAAAH!" her hair practically stood on end "Aurelia, it's beautiful! Oooh my it's so beautiful I just love it!"

Aurelia smiled at Marcella's reaction of seeing herself and the necklace in the mirrow.
"My Mam gave it to me.", she explained, "It's for a girl with eyes as blue as the Deep Blue Sea, she had said." She smiled at Marcella's reflection, before she turned at the girl. "Seems like I found her... Mam always knew, that I was born for both Shipdecks and Horsebacks and always hoped for someone, who was born for either as well for me."
Aurelia kissed Marcella, softly, lovingly.
