  GARDEN BALCONY
The garden balcony located outdoors is a spacious area with grassy flooring and a lovely view of the Eastern Channel. The breeze out here is cool and refreshing, carrying the slight salty tang from the sea. A small pond is located right in the middle of the garden and benches are scattered around the area. Miniature lights and candles light the place up at night, giving the place a most romantic feel. Aww...

xxxxAnemone allowed herself to be led onto the garden balcony, once again uncharacteristically dozy and carefree. Juno was just holding onto her so she wouldn't topple over; right? There was no logical reason to be embarrassed... Her thought process was the same as when she was sober, but it was somehow different. She wasn't silently trying to swallow down her fear as she was led once more by one of teachers off somewhere. She was relaxed, worry free- Ane felt like she was floating, but her feet were still firmly on the ground. It was confusing and hazy, but in a way strangely comforting. There was no panic, no fear. Just... floating. As they passed the buffet table, she found her eyes lingering on the bubbly liquid, but Juno led her firmly past it.
xxxxOnce they were outside, Anemone lightly pulled away from Juno and clutched her arms to her chest. The fresh breeze hit her in the face like a pillow, and she greedily sucked in the salty air. "I feel better ~" Tucking some unruly strands of white hair behind her ear, she turned to Juno. She did; the air was refreshing, and her head seemed more clear. "Thank you." She stood awkwardly hugging herself, feeling the familiar pang of anxiety in her stomach begin to creep back.
xxxx"S-so, umm," Ane blurted out, eager to blot out the annoying pangs in her gut. "Are you... having fun?" Unimpressed with her own question, her arms slipped to cross themselves. Anemone was so jumpy she didn't have a chance to look around the balcony; completely oblivious to the fantastic view and impressive balcony itself. It took her a moment to register the tiny candles and various lights scattered around. Her eyes widened as she once again was distracted by pretty glowy things. They followed a trail of miniature lanterns to the middle of the balcony, and Ane's body froze once she could make out what exactly she was looking at.
xxxxAnemone let out a small gasp, lifting a trembling arm to point off to the pond. "T-there's a pond!" She cried, waving her arm around enthusiastically. Head snapping back to Juno, her face was bright with excitement. Ane's arm remained lifted, still trembling, pointed at the pond as she eagerly waited for a matching reaction from Juno.

Juno Tsing || Sharp Shooter
----------
Juno gave a sigh of relief as he watched Anemone take deep breaths of the refreshing sea air. He too inhaled a long deep breath of night air, closing his eyes in ecstasy before opening them again to Ane's thanks.
"Oh, no problem. Any time." He said with a smile. She seemed so wound up, arms tight to her chest. Giving her some space, he found his way over to the railing of the balcony and peered over the edge. He pushed himself off the ground against the railing for a few moments and gazed out into the open water before plopping himself down again.
"Are you... having fun?"
Juno swiveled around, leaning his butt against the bars; both hands still on the railing leaving his elbows high in the air. His eyes found Anemone and he grinned. "It's alright. Nothing I haven't seen before." He chuckled and shook his head, eyes closed for a moment. "What about you Anemone? I saw you were trying to blend into the wall quite a few times." he teased, returning his gaze to her.
He gave a small laugh as Anemone finally noticed the 'pond'. "Yeah, there is. Are you going to take a swim?" A smirk twinkling on his lips in the dim lantern lighting. He pushed himself up again, lifting his bottom over the railing and taking it easy on his new perch. "It might be refreshing." He laughed, though he certainly wasn't above taking his own suggestion.

 Feeling bored indoors, the mistletoe bird flutters outside for some fresh air, and lo and behold, here were two souls enjoying the breeze. The bird flits towards them with a happy chirp.

xxxxAnemone let out a light laugh, rubbing her forehead with the back of her hand. Why did she feel dizzy? She was standing still... "Nothing I haven't seen before, either." She lightly shrugged, completely oblivious to her once again overly obvious swaying. "I've been to a lot of events like this because of my parents..." Ane trailed off, before shrugging once more. She hadn't actually answered his question. 'Fun' wasn't quite the word, but she wasn't having a bad time, either. Mostly right now though, she was just feeling tipsy.
xxxxThe pale girl let out an uncharacteristic giggle. "No, I'm not going to swim." Anemone glanced over at the pond; wasn't it too small for that anyways? Regardless, she was not nearly drunk enough to do something so spontaneous and potentially reckless. Plus, that wouldn't be very ladylike, now would it?! Regardless of how refreshing it may be, Ane remained unconvinced. It wasn't worth the potential embarrassment, let alone what trouble they could get in.
xxxxShe swayed over to the edge of the balcony, next to where Juno was perched. "Don't fall," Anemone commented emptily as she glanced over the edge to the sea below them. Even if he did fall, chances were she could still catch him even while intoxicated. Her powers, regardless of how fussy they could be, always seemed to pull through in sudden emergencies. More than once did she catch a baby Tabby after she would try to attract herself to something other than the surface she was on. Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Anemone let out a soft sigh. She opened her mouth so say something else, but something flitting around the corner of her vision caught her attention.
xxxx"A bird?" Wasn't it too dark for birds to be out? Anemone craned her neck to follow the small green thing flit above them. Didn't Hack's message say something about a- - The sprig of mistletoe caught her eye. Oooh. That. Immediately stiffening as she realized what was going on, Anemone's already pink face, (she didn't handle alcohol too well), flushed a deeper crimson. She remained frozen in spot, eyes on the hoovering bird as it creeped on the two. "U-uhh- -" Anemone stammered, pressing her knees together.

Juno Tsing || Sharp Shooter
----------
So Anemone was used to these types of events? Juno would have never guessed this about her, considering her demeanor. How she was always trying to get away from crowds or people and somewhat hiding herself. Or at least trying to.
Juno laughed. So she wasn't going to swim? "Fair enough..." Not like he would force her, but it certainly wasn't going to prevent him from doing so. Maybe later. After Anemone got picked up by one of the other rookies to go do teenager things. Maybe he should try pulling some pranks later like Hack or even with him, but for events like this... He knew better than to screw around. Things could go badly and then where would he be? Getting his ear wrenched off by Dr. Flo.
"Don't fall,"
"Don't worry, I won't." He smiled. "And anyway, wouldn't you at least attempt to catch me?" He laughed. Juno hoped she would, she was training to be a hero, right? She should have the natural instinct to try to save him if he fell over. But anyway, that would be majorly uncool if he fell off. Nothing he had to worry about though considering he was a very coordinated person.
Juno noticed Anemone's attention was redirected elsewhere. Following her gaze and comment, he looked up to find that there was indeed a bird. Well... They were outdoors. There were plenty of birds flitting around in the night, right? But there was something awfully fishy about this particular one though. How it was chirping and circling over him and Ane. What did it want? And then he vaguely recalled that note about a bird escape and yadda yadda. Was there a mention of the bird carrying mistletoe....? Really, of all things for it to be carrying around at a winter shindig.... Mistletoe.
Juno couldn't help but wish for a split-second he'd been lucky enough to be with Flo at the moment. But it instantly passed when he looked back at Ane to see how glued to the spot she'd become. Even with a bit of alcohol in her, it didn't seem to be helping her in this situation. And he couldn't help but smile reassuringly. Like he was going to kiss his student? Part of him wanted to tease her though. And that was an easy enough decision to make.
Juno leaned down a little, his face perhaps a foot or so away from hers. "No one has to know, it can be our little secret." He lingered there long enough for her to either kiss or not before retreating.

xxxxThe lump in her stomach rose to her throat as Juno just smiled at her. Why so reassuringly? Anemone's eyes darted back to the bird, who still didn't seem satisfied with their interactions. Returning her gaze to her teacher, her shoulders rose in tension as he leaned closer to her. "A-ahh - -" Their little secret?! Anemone's eyes widened, and she continued to stare blankly up at Juno. Like a deer in headlights, internally she was screaming and panicking but couldn't bring herself to so much as bat an eyelash. This wasn't appropriate. There was no way that was appropriate. How old was he, anyways?! She was of age, but age was irrelevant. He was her teacher, and that was that. This wasn't okay.
xxxxYet... Anemone's eyelids dropped, face still glowing. He was so close... For some reason she hadn't jumped back in alarm, hadn't stammered out an exclamation in embarrassment or moved at all, really. She felt almost mesmerized, the scent of whatever fragrance he was wearing thick and intoxicating. She almost never saw his eyes, either... Ane's mind raced, trying to figure out the proper course of action. But was that what she actually wanted...? Her lips parted ever so slightly as she internally struggled with herself, alcohol clouding her usual thought process. At the end of it all, however, one simple fact snapped her out of her embarrassed fluster and brief daydreams.
xxxxShe turned her head to the side, blushing, and adverted her eyes from Juno's. "I-I can't," she muttered, clenching her fists into balls. "I-it's just..." Her nails dug into her hand as she let out a distressed chuckle. "It would be my first time, and I..." She trailed off. It wasn't rude to not want to give someone your first kiss, especially under these circumstances. There was no reason to feel bad, even she knew that. And yet, she couldn't help but feel a confusing mixture of guilt and disappointment. "S-sorry."
xxxxAnemone pulled away from Juno, clutching herself once more. Shooting a dirty look up at the bird, the pale girl's attention once again was caught by the buffet table and the few stray glasses of bubbly liquid. Her throat was tight thank to her shot nerves, and she could use a drink of that odd tasting soda... Turning her attention back to Juno, a weak smile spread on the girl's face. "Why don't we go inside? I'm chilly and it's starting to get late." Her voice was light, but she struggled to make the words sound calm. Still feeling a tug of guilt, she hesitantly held her hand out to Juno. That was the ladylike thing to do, right? She lightly led him inside, in a strange change of pace leading her companion. Anemone tactfully drove them by the buffet table, a single glass trembling and floating into the air before she quickly snatched it out of the air. Rather smoothly, despite her current ditziness. Holding the glass in her free hand, out of Juno's sight, she once more returned her gaze to her teacher. Nodding in the direction of a grand clock on the wall, the dancer shrugged her thin shoulders. "It is really late." She commented, brows furrowing. Later than she had thought... Anemone rarely stayed out so late, there wasn't time for such things when there was studying to be done and proper rest that was needed. It was way past her self-set bed time. "M-maybe..." Anemone looked down at her mauve heels. "Would you escort me to my room?" She was still sober enough to realize there was no chance in hell she could make it there alone, at least not in a reasonable amount of time.
