Characters: Era Ra & Amanda Perry & OPEN
Summary: beautiful ladies sunbathing ok come join
Date(s): 08/24
Warnings/Notes: n/a unless bikinis count!

While the main beach on Xistentia has nothing on the beaches of La Noscea - Costa de Sol in particular - it's still of acceptably nice quality. The sand is fine and warm, the water crisp and clear. There's enough of a breeze to stay comfortable, ample shade if one were to seek it out, and yalms of sun to bask in.

Originally Era and Amanda had planned to meet up the week previous, but for various reasons had to be postponed until today. Which hasn't turned out to be a problem, given that the weather is currently looking to be perfect for a long day on the shoreline.

She has set up a large red cotton blanket on the sand (made a few days ago for just this purpose), corners held down with some rocks. An umbrella she liberated from the city shadows a corner of the blanket where she has a basket of fruits and pastries and a few bottles of water. Era can't think of what else they might need, but doesn't fret over it - she imagines that Amanda will be bringing some things along as well.

Peki is eating some Gyshal Greens nearby, and Emeraldd has curled up like a cat half in the shade of the umbrella, long tails brushing against Era's thighs as she sprawls out in a particularly warm spot on the soft cotton. The give of the sand under her back takes her back to festivals days in Eastern La Noscea. If she's translated the Earth months correctly then it should still be the Moonfire Faire back in Eorzea. Perhaps she should set off some fireworks later in celebration?

For now though, she'll just enjoy basking in the sun while waiting for her friend to arrive.

She turns around once she hears him clear his throat, tail waggling with her excitement at seeing Aymeric wearing something she crafted so carefully for him. Era tries to focus on the shirt but catches herself focusing on her friend's upper arms, as they're not something she's ever seen before. As soon as she realizes she's staring, Era quickly turns her attention to the sunblock and hands it over for him to take.

"Make sure there is an even layer coating your exposed skin and you will be fine."

If he had the capability to strike a gentlemanly pose, he certainly would in this moment for Era alone. Don't think her glance doesn't go unnoticed, though he is polite enough to not draw attention to it in this moment. It's tucked away instead to his mental notes. Hm. Hmmm.

"I appreciate it, my friend," he concedes, smile taking an almost sheepish tinge to it. "Hopefully, I will be better acclimated to the Winter of this realm and be able to assist you then."

Any warrior or adventurer worth their salt would be inclined to admire such musculature okay. But the sudden thought of winter here - that's enough to distract her from what she was thinking about.

"...Surely it won't be a winter to rival the Highlands?"

"I should hope not," he admits, thought perhaps a bit... sullenly. He almost misses the biting cold of Ishgard and Coerthas. Almost. The temperature of Xistentia has been an adjustment, certainly, but Era seems more acclimated to it and that's enough to leave him satisfied.

"This place is much more tropical than my homeland."

"Some places remind me quite strongly of La Noscea," she admits. A small wave of her arm indicates this beach to be one such place. "And the forests reminds me of Gridania. I wouldn't be opposed to an area similar to Coerthas here as well. I miss throwing snowballs. Nothing so far has brought Thanalan to mind however, for which I'm sure you're grateful."

There may be just a bit of an amused quirk to her lips - she noticed the sullen tone and it's unfairly endearing.

"If you haven't done so yet, try standing still where the waves hit the sand."

"Yes," he freely admits, knowing Era would not be one to judge him for it. Nor would she be one to judge him for how he's struggling in this heat but his pride still causes him to try and mask it. "Even the short visit there to convene with the Sultana was... trying."

No one was thankfully any the wiser then though.

"I'll take your advice though," he continues. "If I had thought to bring more suitable attire, I might have tried for a swim but it's likely better that I remain covered."
