It had taken a few months for the meek woman to teach the unruly male that when she was changing clothes, he was not allowed in the room with her at the same time. Most couples would not care about such a thing, but Tobias and Raven were not an archetypal couple. They each had their own quirks that were typical and not typical, but they each learned how to deal with one another. There were a few times when there were some close calls. One day she would get used to changing in front of him, but she was quite nervous to undress in front of him, let alone, allow him the chance to see her body. It wasn't that she was ashamed for all the scars that traveled up and down over her form, but she was absolutely terrified at the very idea of what he would see and how he would even react. Hearing his high pitched voice cry out in an anxious manner caused the golden-brown curled woman to chuckle softly under her breath as she shook her head in disbelief. He was always in a hurry to go out and about, but that didn't mean she wouldn't take her time. She was packing their things in her backpack and she didn't want to forget anything. The moment she is done and opens the door she lets out a soft yelp as she feels the boy drag her after him. Moving her shorter legs as quickly as she could, she clambered down the stairs, tightening her hand in his own, finding this simple gesture of their hands touching quite pleasing. He was the one that always began the hand holding between them, Raven very respectful of his need to touch or not be touched, following whatever he felt comfortable with. As they leave the Ark she is unable to not miss the fact that there was a rather large cruise streamer just sitting along the farthest ends of the dock. The were-wolf was fast asleep the moment the cruise ship came into port. As they slow down slightly, she watches his hand go and point at the ship, and as he exclaims that is where they are going, a small smile appears on her mauled face. Excitedly she chirped behind him, rather pleased that he was willing to go on such a large ship that sailed over the ocean, the boy showing some sort of bravery for entrusting his life on such a massive device.

"The cruise ship? Well, it looks like fun!"

Blue-grey eyes notice that lopsided grin on his handsome face and she couldn't help but mimic his smile on her own scarred face. As he grabs her hand again and drags her to follow him, she felt a jolt begin at her hand that held his calloused hands, feeling that warm jolt leave her hand and travel up to her heart, and then spread all around her. Touch was a rare thing the two did with one another, but hand holding seemed to lock within her mind the joy of this innocent touch. It was when he decided to drag and shove his way up the ramp and through the crowd did Raven begin to feel a slight touch of embarrassment. Her cheeks glowed a bright pink as she muttered her apologies, hoping that they would at least appease the people before they rioted, knowing well her companion disregarded lines. That he was willing to take them both on a cruise was quite the surprise, because she had never mentioned a desire to be on such a massive ship and travel somewhere. She wasn't sure which side of Tobias thought of this idea, or if someone embedded the idea into his brain, but she was pleased all the same that they were able to go. At least this would get them away from the ice and snow for a little bit. When they reach the top and the man asked for the boarding passes, Raven looks at Tobias, waiting for him to reply and produce the correct documentation. But as the boy simply stared at the man with confusion, she stares at him, and when the man began to talk slower as if Tobias was dimwitted a frown appeared. Stony eyes narrowed on the man and she would slip herself between the man and Tobias, her face morphing into concern as a small smile appeared on her lips, wanting to help Tobias understand, but also protect him from the insult the man had done to him. One hand would touch the side of his face for a moment, wanting his dark eyes to meet her own, as she politely spoke to him.

"Tobi...you did get tickets....right?"

Raven should have known he wouldn't have tickets and be this prepared. But who could blame her for hoping such a thing. For all she knew this could have been a surprise given from Tetradore, although that would have been extremely odd of him to do such a thing, and yet kind. Even though their Alpha was quite aloof, he still showed he cared about them, in small subtle ways. As the other people began to mumble and glare at the couple, she lowered her head slightly allowing the golden-brown curls to cover part of her face. It was when he told everyone to 'look' did she lift her head to see what he was talking about. It was amusing, to know, that such a simple comment and gesture could really distract everyone, no matter the age. Feeling his hand wrap around her arm, she instinctively moved closer to him, resting her head on his chest, unsure with what was going on as she noticed the shadows below them began to stretch. She had never teleported before and in all honesty it wasn't her favorite type of travel, her head spinning. Hearing the screaming alarms she lifted her head off his chest as they made it inside the ship, her head turning left and right in shock and awe that they actually made it inside the ship. Following him around as he led them around she stopped beside him as he led them into the mall and food court, her eyes widening as she instantly begins to quiver with fear. Letting go of his hand, her own hands would clasp together in front of her, as her fingers began to turn and twist around one another, her typical mannerism showing she was extremely nervous and upset. She would begin to stutter, pausing and then trying to speak once more, as her eyes widen staring at the deviant in shock.

"Tobi...you...we...you...and...but...no...no...no...this is...I...we...."

Looking from him and then the spectacular view she continues to stare there as her mind races. They didn't have boarding passes. Which means they are not allowed on the ship. Which also means they have no room to stay in. They don't even have proper IDs so if God forbid they dock in a country that they don't belong to...and Tobias wants to wander around...there is no way they can get back on the ship and safely get back into their ship. Raven was a young woman that followed all rules, perfectly. It was how she grew up in her pack. Follow the rules and she would be okay. Don't follow the rules and she would be severely punished. Already she could feel the hair at the back of her neck stand, as she began to shake, visions of all the things she had done wrong began to flash in front of her eyes and the punishment she received soon came afterwards. Leaning into Tobias, her shoulder pressing into his chest, she stares at the mall and the beautifully laid out food, then turns her head upwards to look at Tobias. Weakly she stammers her fear, clearly not relaxed or looking as if she was ready for vacation.

"Tobi, this is very nice you are doign this, but... we don't have a place to sleep or room to call our own, we don't have tickets...We're going to get caught...we're going to get in trouble!"

It would be wise if Tobias comforted Raven's fears...perhaps then she might actually be able to enjoy this 'free' vacation.
