EVENT: Summer Days

It has been a hot summer for Budehuc this year, and yet there is little to no signs about it coming to an end, even if the next season is expected to show around sometime in the near future.

The warmth of the sun seems to be inviting just about anyone to the lakeside, including the builders and locals from the neighbouring towns of Iksay and Nor. Some have come for the serenity and beautiful scenery, while others just want to have a swim or enjoy some water games. Keep your eyes out for flying beach balls and frisbees!

[ He definitely feels more at home in this kind of weather and setting, and it shows in the lazy contented look on his face. Evidently he's already taken a dip in the water judging by his wet shorts, and now he's just baking on dry land, eyes wandering. ]

[ She approaches Hervey in her pink two piece and swimming goggles around her neck, shooting him an accusatory look. ]

Enjoying the view?

[ He just barely looks up at her through partially-lidded eyes, careful to keep his gaze on her face. ]

Sure. Blue skies, right?

I'll admit, it is actually quite delightful. I imagine this is what a vacation feels like.

Don't get this kind of thing often, huh? Almost every day felt like this back in the Islands. 'course, there was more manual labour to be done back there.

If you miss the islands, why can't you just go back there? Surely you would feel more at home down there, even if it is in a different time.

It's pretty damn far, and I know more people back here, anyway. 'sides, it feels... wrong to go back. [ Lazy handwave. ] Same places looking different, too many memories, yada...

'n why're you stayin' here?

What, you don't want me around or something? Just where is someone like me supposed to go?

Jumpin' to conclusions again, I see.

Just makin' conversation. You're not really bound here anymore than me.

Don't ask stupid questions!

There is not a single place in this world that would make me feel connected to my home.

Sure. When you ask it's fine, but mine's a stupid question.

[ He rolls his eyes, too interested in staying relaxed to deal with her difficult behaviour. ]

Well, that's that, then.

...

[ Squirts him with a water gun. ]

*Just getting out of the water onto the land. Mukumuku shakes his wet body, causing water to fly off fur and splashing at Hervey*

[ Today is his day for getting splashed in the face! Not that he minds. He was wet, anyway. ]

Woah! Watch it there, little fella'!

[ He grins at Mukumuku, kind of surprised to see a creature enjoying the water so much. ]

Didn't think animals liked swimming.

You didn't wait long to dive right in.

[ At Jeremy's voice he sits up a little, resting his arms on his pulled-up knees. ]

You ain't jumped in yet?

I wouldn't have sounded so envious just now, if I had.

What's stopping you?

What- Nothing! I just have responsibilities and it keeps me from having more free time like this!

Riiiight.

[ He pauses consideringly and stands. ]

Responsibilities. Like what?

Despite your jokes about it being empty, I do have to man that dojo. With your new job, I'd think you can understand at least minimally.

C'mon, no one's gonna' notice if you're gone for like, half an hour, right? 'sides, no one's gonna' wanna' train on a day like this.

Yeah... I guess it wouldn't kill anyone.

[ He can't help but chuckle at Jeremy's reluctance. ]

Tell you what. How 'bout I go stand around lollygaggin' at the dojo while you splash around for a bit? Would that make y'feel better?

...

If you don't mess around with those training dummies, I think I can agree to that..
