They rode home on Amir's bike, Dana's dress tucked firmly about her, and her car left in the garage at Bao's building, again. She let her body relax against his, feeling the vibration of machine through her, enjoying the sensation of the wind on her face.
It was not an easy thing, but she needed to be alone. She could not talk with Lady Erin in his company, nor write in her journal, nor choose not to sleep. She might change her mind on that, but then nothing was certain right now. With some sadness she kissed him good night and went to her own room.

A Beautiful Mess (open)
Amir and Dana entered the Gardens and stepped away from Nachton's thriving night life into a much quieter area. Amir did his best not to wrinkle his nose at the almost overwhelming scent of the night-blooming plants here. It was definitely the right season for a good many of them and their perfumes hung thickly in the air.
Having no real goal here except to walk, and be out, Amir turned them left toward a path that presumably skirted the outside of the gardens. If they were going to explore here, they might as well start from the outside and work their way in.
There didn't seem to be any need to discuss anything pressing for the moment, so Amir turned to Dana. "Do you know any of these plants?"
Dana's knowledge seemed to span a wide variety of topics; Amir had never applied himself to botany or horticulture, really, beyond what he'd known in his brief human life. That and a few thousand years in pre-modern society amounted to... well, not a whole lot.
