Granted that the winter shindig had ended, Juno had still been in the possession of Anemone. And seeing that she'd somehow managed to snatch up another glass of the bubbly stuff, he was obligated to make sure she got back to her room safely. Though perhaps taking the long way was also unorthodox, he had to admit seeing her in this less uptight mood was refreshing.
Prior to their strolling out and about after leaving the grand halls, there was a pleasant visit from the mistletoe bird. Though Anemone's response to it was in any way no surprise to Juno, there was a slight disappointment ringing in the back of his mind. Why? He wasn't sure, or well he was, but he knew it was inappropriate. Though he would remember her response as being rather cute. Her fluster, her nervousness. Even her confession of never being kissed before. It would definitely not be fair for Juno, her teacher, to steal that precious moment from her. Right? He had to be fair on that. Anyway, he had only been teasing her. However part of him wished that she could be more daring, even just for the sake of herself. Living outside the rules seemed to be something this girl could use.
After she'd asked him to escort her to her room, there was no way that Juno could decline. So back to the current moment, there were the two leaving within the crowds of people. Taking a side path away from all the wealthy guests who were waiting for their ride to come by and snatch them up from the festivities, Juno had put her hand under his arm so she would not lose her balance or step from her tipsy walking.
The path less taken lead them down around the building and through some gardens towards the beach seafront. Perhaps being close to the water would help waken the girl's senses. "How's that alcohol treating you?" Juno chuckled as he lead her along. "That second glass was overdoing it a bit, don't you think?" His usual teasing attitude. He glanced down at the light haired girl, the moonlight dancing across it giving her a sort of sparkle in the evening.

"Alcohol?" Anemone echoed Juno, snapping out of her blissfully ignorant drunken stupor. She had been trying to count the twinkling stars above them- not figuratively or in a playful way, she had been literally trying to count them. Upon hearing the mention of alcohol, it all clicked in the usually sharp girl's mind. The hot feeling, the unusual emotions and thoughts, the lack of ability to walk correctly... Anemone gave the sky another upwards glance. And the loss of overall intelligence. The girl winced at herself for a moment, ashamed at both the deterioration of her mind and the fact she hadn't picked up on the fact she was drinking alcohol in the first place. Ane supposed Juno didn't seem to mind; she was eighteen, after all. No harm done, right? It wasn't like he had to know or anything...
"I- I'm fine," Anemone hiccuped, covering her mouth lightly with the back of her hand. Was a second glass overdoing it? She didn't even know what she was drinking, let alone the average amount consumed. Either way it was apparent Anemone had too much. "I feel perfectly normal; just a little woozy." Lying through her teeth, Anemone decided to shift the attention from her with whatever little tact she had left. "'Nd you? How was your night?" She imagined he had a grand old time- dancing around in that flashy jacket of his. Ane hadn't really seen too much of him except right at the end; but that was probably because Juno was the life of the party and Anemone preferred to skirt around the edges.
Their surroundings were unfamiliar, but Anemone still wasn't totally used to the layout of the Academy yet. He was just taking her on a different path, right? It's not like a teacher would try any funny business. Eyes darting around as she drank in the sights around them, Anemone seemed more distracted by the decorations hung up around the Academy for the ball than conversing with Juno. To her delight Juno led her closer to the beach, and all intentions of going to bed were instantly forgotten. The now familiar scent of the sea hit her in the face like a wall, indeed helping to sober her up a bit. Hand still tucked neatly in his, she decided to strike up some conversation. "S-so... where are you from? Tasea, right?"

Juno chuckled. How was his night? Uneventful for the most part.
"Not too bad. Though I was definitely expecting a little more..." He said with a shrug. However there was that interesting thing that happened with the mistletoe bird, a certain sort of amusement that he enjoyed recalling. The surprise on Anemone's face and her reaction was nothing less of what he expected from a shy girl like herself. Though shame on him for teasing her so.
"Did you get a couple dances in?" With that question reminded him that Anemone still owed him one. He would be sure to collect it during their stay on the beach, while still leading her steadily towards the dark waves crashing quietly against the sand in the distance. The starlight was exquisite, and it was perfect romance material. Juno was distracted by the breathtaking scenery for a moment, inhaling the scents of the salty sea air.
"Ah! Yeah, that's right. I am. How did you know?" Juno didn't remember ever mentioning such information. And now that he thought about it, Anemone was being far more conversational than usual. Thank you alcohol. He didn't mind silence, but light talking always helped ease the mood into a more pleasant place.

Anemone flustered visibly as Juno shrugged- was it because of the kiss? She couldn't get it out of the back of her mind for some strange reason; it wasn't like she was obligated to kiss Juno- her teacher!- just because some little bird decided to flitter over them. W-what nonsense. Anemone's judgment wasn't that impaired! Still, she found herself squirming and flushing slightly everytime her eyes decided to flick over to his.
"Yes, I had one dance with my partner." Anemone seemed put off by the question; she owed Juno a dance, didn't she? The night's events were starting to blurr, she wasn't quite sure if that had been someone else. Either way, she only had danced with Straffe... and that was more out of necessity and because the voice in her ear had pretty much ordered her to. "M-my mission partner, I mean..." She mumbled, eyes darting down to the soft sand beneath them.
She was silent for a few moments, drinking in the rich sights of the night along with Juno; it really was a perfect night to hold any sort of celebration. The stars twinkled above them, uninterrupted by light pollution and clouds. As they reached the edge of where the waves lapped up the shore, Anemone stopped suddenly and clasped her hands together neatly as she stared out to sea. She swayed slightly, still woozy with alcohol; avoiding Juno's gaze.
"Oh, I don't know," she finally answered, shrugging lightly as she brushed back a loose wisp of long white hair. "It's obvious, I think. I had some friends from Tasea once..." If by 'friends' you meant '40-something year old scientists my mother works with'. Anemone pressed on. "I'd like to visit there someday..." She had rarely ever traveled outside Quancell, let alone Sewit; and when she did, Anemone only ever really saw the inside of a few buildings and whatever vehicle was chartering them around. Needless to say, she didn't get out much. Seeing bits of Ronth during her stay at SA had somewhat resparked her curiousity in other cities; but even then they all seemed foreign and crowded and intimidating. Baby steps, right?

Mission partner… Mission partner. Who was Anemone's partner again? Juno couldn't bring the kid's face to mind, but he nodded in acknowledgement regardless as the walked through the softness of the sand. It had been a while since Juno had been to the beach, let alone at night. But now he had other things on his mind…
Juno watched her be captivated by the beauty of the night's ocean and delicately place back the rogue strands of her long white hair. Contrasting against the night, twinkling in the moonlight, it certainly was a sight to behold.
"That obvious huh? You sure you didn't see me on tv every now and then?" Juno smirked with a light laugh as he too turned to stare out at the gentle crash of waves against the welcoming smooth sand.
"You definitely should visit, if you like shopping." Juno joked, while taking in a deep breath. Tasea. Home. It didn't feel like that long ago that he'd been there, and yet it had been quite a few weeks already…. He wondered what his sisters were up to, his brothers. Mother, father… Shaking those thoughts away, he turned to look at his lovely companion.
"If you ever need a tour guide, I wouldn't mind." A sincere smile followed. "That is… If you can manage to ignore screaming fangirls…" he added in a mutter with a slight chuckle.
Juno took another deep breath and exhaled. The fresh salt water air doing wonders for his mood.
"Are you feeling better now?"
