“Some help would be nice. It’s not much, but the quicker we are in packing everything, the sooner we can move on to part two,” Ria said with a small wink and then moved reluctantly away from Achilleas so that she could start putting lids on everything and then place every item back in the basket. Hopefully she’d remember the correct order so that everything would actually fit again. Though her mind was not as focused as it should be, considering that she kept wondering what Achilleas had planned next and where they might go from here.

Having gotten up with Ria, Achilleas helped to pack up the food and drinks. He shook out the big blanket before quickly folding it then placed it into the basket. He then lifted the basket after making sure that they weren’t leaving anything else behind. He then held out his arm to her and led them on a roundabout way out of the arboretum.

With her arm looped through his and her head resting against his shoulder, Ria walked through the Arboretum with Achilleas in silence. Wondering where they might go, but in part also still thinking about everything that had happened that day on the station and how much she wished that she was stronger, braver and thus wouldn’t worry Achilleas all the time with all the things she got anxious about.

Achilleas and Ria had left the Arboretum after enjoying the sights and smell of nature. There was a very brief detour to his quarters to deposit the basket and its contents and to pick up a surprise bundle of clothing. He didn’t show it to her yet, not wanting to ruin the surprise, and led them to their next destination. Their destination was the spa area on the ship and after entering they could feel the heat in the area increase quite a bit. “We’re a little overdressed for this next plan, but I’ve got us covered. Tada!” He held out a one piece bikini for Ria and a pair of swim shorts for himself. “I would love to help you out of that dress but I’m not sure if I’m welcome in the dressing room for women.” He grinned and said mischievously.

“Maybe not. I don’t know,” Ria replied as reached for the bathing suit. “I’ll be a while,” she apologised and then disappeared into the changing room. She was glad that she was the only one inside as she didn’t like to change in front of strangers. After putting the bathing suit onto one of the benches, she started to get undressed layer by layer. And there were many of those. At least six depending on how you counted.

After a good fifteen minutes she was finally wearing the bathing suite and the pair of combinations, socks, corset, corset cover, petticoat, bustle, walking skirt, blouse and jacket were placed neatly on the bench with the boots standing right in front of it. As she looked at herself in the mirror she couldn’t help but flinch slightly. Apart from really liking the out fit she had worn before, it had also hidden the fact that she had lost a bit of weight lately. Not enough that anyone had to be concerned. But she had been soft and slender before and to her it seemed like she was now looking very skinny. Though that was a very subjective perspective. For while Achilleas might be able to tell, it definitely wasn’t that noticeable.

Turning away from the mirror, Riani sighed softly and then stepped out of the dressing room. Her gaze wandered through the spa,. both taking in her surroundings and searching for Achilleas.
