Understandably Neela's encounter with Leon had left her hesitant about taking trips outside at night to stargaze, especially as she was still catching flickers of his scent along the borders. Yet she still found herself out here tonight, though this time was different somewhat, this time she wasn't alone.

Tony was a comforting presence at her side, his large muscled body warm against Neela's small, lithe one as she moulded herself against him while they walked. It had taken a lot of needling and persuading on Tony's behalf but Neela had finally agreed to the expedition. It was a show of how much she trusted Tony that the leather armour she had salvaged form her boat and taken to wearing whenever she wasn't deep within Casa territory wasn't present covering her tonight, thought the long boarding knives paired with the armour were looped through her belt.

Normally Tony and Neela were fairly talkative when together but tonight they were quiet, just walking and enjoying the peace and quiet; the two had made their way to a clear section of land near to the border and had a good view of the night sky. Surprisingly Neela was actually managing to relax after being wound tight like a spring for the most part earlier on in the walk.

Seeing her family had shaken Neela to be sure, but things were slowly starting to go back to normal. It might be a false peace, just waiting to be shaken once more, but she wanted to enjoy it while it lasted.
