Arabella had been home for only about a month and a half now and was still trying to adjust to civilian life. She'd been born a maid with not much experience in civilian life, only the life in the castle. Then she had gone to the Navy, still working by the coast after her basic training, and then off she went to sea for a little over a year. Thirteen months and nine days to be exact, but who's counting? The point being, she had no idea what life was like out of the castle and away from the ocean. She technically didn't have a home because while she was so busy working between basic training and her deployment she had been living, working, and eating in quarters provided for her on a Naval base along with a few other officers of her level and work. Now that she was back from deployment though, she had quite a bit of payment to collect thanks to the Navy. She couldn't receive family separation pay, as she was not separated from family. But she was injured quite critically and was awarded a medal for it, as well as news saying she would be going up a rank because of her score on her annual test all members of the military had to take. It was easier to go up a rank when you were low in them, because there are so few of you. However, the higher you go, the harder the test becomes. At least that meant better pay, about a quarter more a year than what she was receiving now.
But that still didn't help much when about fifty percent of her pay was going to the king to pay off her debt for being set free. It was a hefty payment, but if she kept going up in the ranks Arabella may b able to pay it off when she was older. A lot older. As of now though, she would have to look at the bright side of things: She was getting her own house on the Naval base where she would receive less taxes for house payments, but at the expense that she has to work six days a week rather than five. It was better than nothing, and she knew that she really didn't have much of a choice since she didn't want to be a burden to Lance and ask if she could stay with him. Speaking of Lance though, they had actually arranged for the two of them to do something in town. She had just finished getting ready, but what she wore was nothing fancy, just a white button up with a collar, her hair was curled though to balance out the masculine side in her outfit. She was never one for dresses. But it didn't matter how clean she looked, she could help but stare at her eyepatch, the scarring around it, and when she flipped it up, the hole underneath. How was it that Lance didn't mind it? He hadn't see underneath her eyepatch since the first day, but still. Just the thought of what was underneath was enough to make Arabella want to run away. Even if she couldn't.

Lance lets out a low hum as he makes his way into the market. He was going to meet Arabella and walk around for a bit. Being back on the mainland felt so weird. He liked being out out sea and to feel the wind against his face. He hoped to be back out soon enough. Until then, Lance would focus with spending with much time with Arabella as possible. Lance hit it well but he had developed a big crush on her and at times didn't know what to do.

Arabella had walked to the market, wanting to have those long walks again after being put on a boat for all that time. Even if she still felt a bit of a rocking motion when she stood quite still, she wanted to get used to the land as much as possible again. Plus, horses weren't expensive, but they were out of her price range and time. She was too busy to worry about animals. Even a cat would be pushing it.
But it didn't matter what she didn't have, it only matters what she does. Well, that's a lie. She didn't have any idea where Lance was, in their excitement they forgot to set a place for where they would meet. It was a good thing though, that she didn't have to worry about that for too long though: She had walked straight into him out of her carelessness of where she was going. At first a cross expression came over her features but then as she looked up at Lance it turned into a more friendly one. "You should watch where your going." She teased, but knew they both should have

Lance saw that it was Arabella and relaxes. "Hey there stranger. I will do that next time." He said giving her a little smile.

Arabella smiled back at Lance as well, tucking a now curled piece of hair behind her ear. Her eyebrows went into that signature furrowed position as she studied Lance up and down quickly. "It's so odd to see you without your uniform on. I'm so used to seeing it at this point." Her concentrated look turned into a more calm one, maybe slightly thoughtful but with a small smile to go with it.

Autumn smiled "Neither am I, but neither of us are in our houses, are we? I like the melody, it's kind of spooky and it sounds powerful. Do you like music, Thomas?" Autumn was enjoying this conversation. It wasn't going much of anywhere, but it had been so long since she'd gotten to talk to an intelligent life form without remembering posture and rules of conversation that she didn't really mind. Anyway, Thomas was kind of interesting. And weird. (not sure if y'all saw this. Sorry it's not much, but it's all I had time for.)

"I hope I still look good." Lance joked.

Arabella's smile widened to a grin as Lance spoke, but she turned a bit pink all the same. "Sure, sure, let's go with that." She nodded. Her tone made it sound like she was implying Lance was not attractive, but in reality he was quite opposite. Arabella wasn't going to give him that satisfaction though. Not yet anyway

Lance chuckled and started walking forward. He looks around at the shopkeepers as they shouted about their wares and prices.

Arabella walked in step with Lance, but not in a very uniform way, more relaxed, but synchronized all the same. "Was there something specific you needed? I need a new eyepatch. This one is starting to get old."

"I'm not sure yet." Lance said as he looks around. He might get himself something nice maybe a sweet roll or something.
