So for one week of the Discord weekly challenge, the prompt was “Night On The Town,” so that inspired me to make these sketches & a drawing, and a tiny fanfiction. Where together, Victor and Ixlan went out for a night on the town, (since he hadn't been out for this kind of stuff for around 9 months, and she hadn't been out for something like 3009 months.

[Full disclosure, I drew this before “Elena's day off" came out, and this would be set before that].

 -First, they both rode horses through town, Ixlan was both excited and nervous about this (although that was hard to tell from just looking at her). Victor helped her with horse riding tips, and then later she helped him not get captured by a group of citizens who remembered this face from a wanted poster. The horses got pretty scared by that event, so they decided to go to Doña Paloma’s Emporium and leave them with her. She could return them to the palace later. They could just continue on foot for the rest of the night. (I'm assuming by this point they’ve probably met the whole Grand Council).

-After they dropped off the horses at the emporium, Doña taught Ixlan about different kinds of fans and which one is the best to buy, while Victor tried out every accordion in the emporium as loudly as possible. He eventually found one that he liked (which also happened to be the first one he'd actually picked up and tried out) and bought it. (Don't worry, Elena had given them some money beforehand). 

-Then they went out for dinner and drinks at Cafe Angelica, (Since Julio had recommended it to them). Afterwards they walked back through the city playing music, Victor on his new accordion and Ixlan on her Tambor Trueno. 

-At the end of the night they rode the Hydro-Gondola back to the palace, although Ixlan rode it a bit differently than intended (by siting on the roof on it). Victor not-so-calmly asked her why she was doing that, and she replied, “I can see the stars much better from up here.”
