A Well Deserved Retreat

Yukiko stepped off the train with a pleasant sigh, glad to be off able to stand and walk around after the nearly six hours of sitting. She was sure she would have gone insane had it not been for Kalina being there to keep her company. She held her girlfriend's hand snugly in her own, their fingers intertwined with one another's as their shoulders brushed with each step they took. They stopped when the reached the outside of the station which sat elevated above the rest of the town. The two looked out over the newly restored town, looking much better now that the ships that had once ominously blocked the horizon were now gone. The early October wind blew past them, the slight smell of cinnamon rising up from the town below, the streets looking much more lively than they had last time they'd been here three months ago. The smell was pleasant and inviting, almost making the train ride worth it. The air was a bit more chill than it had been last time they had arrived, fall bringing with it the warning of colder weather to come later. Yukiko stood in a black hoodie with a pair of faded jeans and white tennis shoes. Her grip in Kalina's hand tightened slightly as she turned her head to look at her, "I think we should check into the hotel really quickly before we hit the town. I don't know about you but I want some of whatever that smell is coming from." She said as she motioned toward the downhill path that would take them into the town.
