Aaricia smiled brightly. Before she could answer about the garden, her eyes saw Nyko's delight. She laughed as she was spun around, not minding this little dance one bit. Then came Nyko's observations, and her joy was tempered. "I do love my hair," she said softly, eyes shifting away. "Father.. won't let me out of the house without it covered though." Her brow knit with frustration. "Back in Zena, the others didn't like my skin, but my mother loved me as I am and didn't make me hide. Then I.. was forced to come here." The tears welled up, and she quickly brushed them away before squeezing Nyko's hands. "Thank you. This.. means quite a bit to me."

"Ah yes, but you won't have to live with your father forever, will you?" In a daring move, Nyko leaned forward and pressed his forehead against hers. It was a brief contact, but when he pulled away he placed a chaste kiss to her forehead. It seemed as good a time as any to do it. Why not go with the mood when it presented itself?
"Some day you'll be free to choose where you want to go. Zena, Oba..." Nyko leaned his head this way and that before clicking his tongue. "Their just places. And one day, when we're both free, we'll meet in a place that appreciates us for us. Will you promise to meet me there?"

She... wouldn't? Honestly, Aaricia hadn't truly given the future much thought. He was right though! She wouldn't have to be under her father's thumb forever! She would learn how to take care of herself, and find a way to get where she wanted to go... It was a slightly overwhelming thought.
The gentle gesture and kiss made her think of another Matorian she had met. Both boys were so full of hope and conviction... Why could she not be as strong as they were? When they were both free... Her eyes widened at the declaration, feeling her chest swell with warmth. "I.. would love nothing more," she whispered, squeezing the boy's hands once again. "I promise to meet you in freedom, so long as you promise the same to me!"

Nyko was practically beaming, his smile stretching from finned ear to ear. Seeing the warmth spreading inside of her was contagious. It may have made him a little misty eyed, though he was loath to admit it. Or not; who the hell cared? It was nice! It wasn't every day that someone felt confidence in themselves - if you weren't him, of course- so to him it was something worthy of getting emotional over.
"Of course. We'll meet back up some day and when we do, we'll outshine the sun with our combined brilliance." Squeezing her hand, Nyko tugged her further into the gardens. "Come, the night is still young and there is much, much more to show you, if you would care to see it~"

The two teens seemed too feed off of each other's delight. The happier one became, the happier the other felt, and back and forth. It was an intense feeling for Aaricia. "The sun?" she gasped with a giggle. "I look forward to it!" Holding tight to Nyko's hand, unconsciously holding it like a lifeline, she bit her lip and looked back at the door to the house. ...Oh, to heck with those pompous fools! "Show me everything!" she replied excitedly, picking up the skirt of her dress with her free hand to hurry along with the boy..
