This was the life. Rinoa relaxed on a sun lounger, soaking up the rays. Behind her sunglasses, her eyes were closed. She could hear the waves lapping gently against the beach in the background. It was as though the dragon invasion had never happened.

A group of holidaymakers passed by, laughing and joking as they headed for the sea. Rinoa sat up to take a look around. Hmm. Maybe it was time she went for a swim. But first she needed to reapply her sun cream. She smoothed back her hair and picked up her bottle of sun lotion. Now was there anyone around who might want to help?

Kain looked to the water as well, in agreement about the location. As much as he wasn't very enthused about the idea of the games or crowds. They were as easily avoided as Mjrn had said, though.

"Actually... I was thinking similarly. I wouldn't mind training soon." As always, Kain seemed more at ease somehow when discussing one of the few things he liked spending his time doing.

Mjrn glanced around, thinking. "I suppose as long as the training area is away from the crowds, it would suffice." She nods her encouragement, perfectly willing to discard relaxation if it could mean learning more from him.

"I'm sure we can find a place that's remote enough. The crowds seem to be mostly in one area of the beach." That, and Kain was an expert at finding locations to be alone in. Not just for brooding, but training as well. He especially didn't like a good session being interrupted by anyone. "It's been much too long since the last time, anyway."

"Aye, indeed." Mjrn peered behind them, at the crowds, then grew thoughtful. Well, why not now, since neither of them seemed especially interested in partying? "If you allow me a moment, I can retrieve my spear."

Kain even half-smirked, glad for an excuse to step away from the festivities. He could only stand to be part of such events for so long... group gatherings had never been his favorite pasttime. "Very well. I'll need to do likewise... we could meet here again when we're prepared."

Mjrn took in one last look at the water. Then she nodded. "I shall return." And she went to find Penelo, so she would know where the airship -and her equipment- was located.

Kain also took off, to gather his own equipment and check in on Zephyr briefly before he prepared to go back out there. As expected, the little dragon was sleeping soundly. He patted her head fondly before he set about getting armored up and then grabbing his spear. Once he was ready, he headed back to the place where they'd met.
