It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

Ruling the oceans, dealing with stuff on Olympus, preparing for war in his palace...take your pick. [He shrugs a bit.] Once a year is pretty good, but sometimes the water will give me some messages when he's feeling generous.
Hope is pretty much all we've got left here, isn't it? [He shakes his head.] It's been almost a year since I've heard from him anyway so it's probably about time.
[But enough about that.] What are you doing out here anyway?
[inclines her head slightly, gaze flickering towards the water]
There's more space out here for me to practice. And while it's just as quiet here as it is in town, the lake doesn't have the same stifling quality to it.
You're working your strength back up which is really good, but make sure you're still letting your ribs heal, okay? I've taken a lot of hard hits but nothing really like that. I can't imagine it's that comfortable. [He frowns in thought though.] You don't anticipate you'll have to use that thing anytime soon, do you?
Even if you weren't practicing I feel like those are skills that wouldn't deteriorate. Kind of like riding a bike? I lost all of my memories once and I still knew how to fight with my sword.
Uh. A bike is a form of transportation that's got two wheels so you have to learn how to balance yourself. That's not the important part, Milla. It's all just muscle memory.

...my dad. [He has no shame in saying so at this point.] Once a year is actually pretty good for him, actually.
no subject
Only once a year?
[she inclines her head and, not knowing any better, inquires further]
What is he doing that is so important that he can only see you once a year?

I don't think there's anything wrong with hoping that one of those messages would reach you all the way here.

Everyone keeps scolding me about my ribs. I promise you all, I'm fine. I wouldn't be doing something if I wasn't capable of it.
[actually she would, because who cares about the limits of one human body when her spirit wants to press forward!! but shhhh.]
I don't anticipate having to use it, no, but that doesn't mean I don't want to prepare myself just in case.
no subject
You would, actually. I know that much about you by now. But it's okay, I won't tell the others.
[He glances at the sword again.] You're overpreparing which is the good thing. Nobody can say that you aren't ready for whatever's happening next.
no subject
Of course.
Besides, it'd also be foolish of me to let my swordsmanship skills rust because I wasn't using them.

"Riding a bike?" What does that mean?
