As the hug lingered, Hrafna couldn't help but note that she'd have to up the amount of hugs she gave out. Clearly it wasn't enough if Gianna was feeling like this. Perfect, the new year was ahead and more hugs was a good goal for it. We're she a bolder type she might have even attempted to get an arm around Yori but that was going to take more time from what she saw.

"No more sad faces now. No more worrying about hair color...from me. We got some good things to look forward to together, right? Good stuff. Good stuff. Lookin' out to a more huggable new year myself. Aha, I'm thinkin' I offer that to the crew to help with those hard after battle times. Yup, a regular ol'Dr. Ylfasdottir right here." You could always count on Hrafna to laugh at her own jokes and this time was no exception.

Gianna snickers, loosening her grip only slightly. "Hrafna, hugs from you will make people hard, after battle or any other time." She giggles, then squeezes tighter again before relaxing and grinning at the mechtech.

Yoko definitely felt more energetic with Tessa having a good time; A lot of the time her own dancing was more restrained and such, especially in front of other people. And with as little alcohol as she had in her system no less. But if Miss Wentworth was going all out so would she. or at least as much as her somewhat restrctive cocktail dress would allow.

"HMMM. I'm sure you'd look good in anything Yoko." Tessa compliments honestly with a dreamy sigh. "You, Elle, Laks... you're all that type of person." Her eyes opened wide as she realised something.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I didn't say anything about your dress. It's gorgeous. It so suits you. Knock out. You could say you're a secret agent or something." She smiled happily as she turned around, placing Yoko's hand on her hip. "There, now I can't stare too much."

"Assuming we take the past 8 minutes as an average then hugs will be up over 4000% in the New Year. We may need a more statistically significant sample though."
Yori had not known Hrafna was a doctor but stores this information away for an misunderstanding later.
"That was a long hug." She adds, looking between the two.
"I was not aware Hrafnhildur's hugs caused rigid paralysis. I suggest if you are compressing the spine in such a way you hug higher and lighter on the body."

Her eyebrows went up, "A secret agent? I'm glad SOMEONE got it. I even have my empty service pistol strapped to my thigh like in those movies."

That got a chuckle, "Not that was trying to win any prizes with the attempt. But as much as I may or may not look good in anything, as you say, I guess I'm just so used to being careful about my image. Not wanting to seem too immature. Suppose I could stand to let my guard down a little in that respect around here."

"I didn't notice!" She turned around to get a better look at Yoko's thighs. "That's great. I just have these toy six shooters." She stopped dancing to draw them from their holsters and to show Yoko. The red caps on the end of each barrel were a little sad.

She giggles and grins at Yoko's words. "You're worrying way too much. Most of the members of the unit can be pretty immature at times, including the most senior members. We're not a professional military." The guns were put back in their holsters. "And there's no may about it. You definitely look good. Show me how you got your hair up like that one day, ok?"

"Immature, hm? I'll try to not say that to anyone directly still, but nice to know; Things were run pretty tightly at my last job. As to the hair... you have a deal; I'm no hair stylist, but I've picked some tips and tricks up along the way."

It just would have been nice if those had been from mother and not elsewhere. A thought which made her wonder if she'd ever decide whether to call her againany time soon. On the outside thoughshe was all smiles and dance moves thpugh,despite the brief distraction to family.

Gianna giggles again. "Hrafna can hug me as high as she wants," she says, winking at the shorter woman. This is followed by another, clearly unnecessary, sip from whatever she's drinking.

"Great! And, it gets tighter when we're on the ground. It's pretty relaxed in between deployments."

She placed her hands on Yoko's hips again. "One more song and I better go find Klaus. He gets lonely."

Klaus? Ah, right; That nobleman that worked with tactics from earlier.

Yoko kept a hand on Tessa's waist in return. "Fair enough, on both parts. I imagine slip-ups don't always have the luxury of forgiveness in the thick of this. As to the other part... I did only ask for one dance, and you've been more than a gracious partner. Especially for someone new to much of this like myself."

She tried to be charming... though even if she'd wanted to try to convince Miss Wentworth for another dance, she needed to get back to her room and lie down; The whole champagne plus zero-g situation with her stomach wasn't fixing itself any time soon dancing like this.

"4000% is a platform I wanna stand on, Yori...er...Two Leut Hakamada." Had she ever called Yori by just her name? It's possible but for some reason she wasn't sure she was at that place yet. Soon. Soon.

Hrafnhildur slipped out of the hug and let the momentum push her back to the wall. Her back hit first and upon impact a quick quacking sound could be heard. Confused, Hrafna reached back and unzipped her cheerleader uniform, her hands finally coming back with a small toy duck. "Aha! That's where that was! Hoo boy I was looking all over for that. Perfect timing little duck, you will be a perfect new year gift for Geee-yanna. I made it myself, this one doesn't spray confetti everywhere but it makes a quacking noise...as you probably heard. Here you go." And just like that, as if it was normal to not feel a toy duck being inside your cheerleader uniform all night, Hrafna offered the toy to Gianna.

Gianna's mouth stopped in an o as haha reached for the zipper, but whatever she might have been thinking is immediately discarded as the toy is thrust upon her. Eyes bright, she enthusiastically grabs it, hugging it and her sippy cup close like she's a small child again.

"Hrafna, that's... I mean, you shouldn't have. But I'm glad you did!" She squeals, mostly quietly, then turns attention back to Yori. "Isn't this sweet Yori? I mean, I'm totally surprised! Gods, you two are just the best!" She squeals lightly again, clearly happier than when she arrived, and holds the toy up in two hands with its bill close to the top of her nose. This leaves her cup floating in the air beside her, possibly forgotten in duck-related excitement.

Slipping back a bit, she turns to Klaus, "I was just about to send her over your way, actually. So this is perfect. You don't even need to worry about returning her either; Now that the countdown is over, I think I'm going to head back to my quarters. All this floating around and spinning and drinking... I'm a planetside woman at heart, so I'm going to have me a lie-down."

Gianna half-laughs as she makes a clearly confused face at Yori. "Fune... Why funerals?" She pauses to consider her own question, and the fact that it's Yori, then smiles and takes another sip. "That, um... That's... innovative? I think that's innovative, Yori. Never heard of taking stuffed... Wait, you said confetti?" She looks back to Hrafna, slightly horrified at what she may have been encouraging Yori to do.

"Sure!" The small Sergeant grins and offers Alex some. The prospect of tasty cake makes her smile brightly. "I'd love that. Strawberries taste so good." Catherine giggles, when she is sent into another spin. "Dunno how shoon we get to visit any towns though."
Alex tasted the sweet drink and the hint of strong alcohol and chuckled. "As sweet as you are. Probably if we get to good relations with the locals we can try and get that cake... Or may be ask our cook to make it." Alex poked her nose. Bop!
