[ When the visitors disappear in a much cleaner fashion than they came, a mixture of anger. sadness, gratitude and everything in between is left to fill in their place all across the city. It's heavy and stifling; the perfect time to get away for some fresh air.

They leave the morning of Day 294 ( July 12 ), piling everyone onto the train that'll carry them off to Salt Side for a couple days. ( Arthur sticks a little bit closer to Merlin's side; his last train ride is still fresh in his mind. ) The ride there takes half a day undisturbed, and the sun is still lingering in the sky by the time they arrive in the small fishing village. Plenty of time to walk around and shop before storefronts start closing or to catch the sunset on the beach. From here on out, everyone is free to wander as they wish, though don't stray too far, lest the oceans carry you off to the netherworlds.

They'll leave on Day 296 ( July 16 ), after a full day and two nights of relaxation and fun in the sun. The train ride is once again thankfully undisturbed, but the same can't be said for the holy city of Asgard. Something is stirring in the water - but for now, there are only cheerful farewells and blissful ignorance. This trip was theirs and no one else's, a rare and wonderful thing in a troubled land. ]

[ ooc: Who can tell that I write the plot logs? orz This is open mingle to anyone that was invited on the beach trip! You know the drill, open/closed threads with date and location. Lots of stupid fun, guys, let's have it! ]

Yes, I think you should swim. Swimming is good for your heart, body and mind.

[foodshortage]

[ He only grunts in response, not sure what he can say, and looks out at the water. Hm. ]

[tradingsecrets]

What? Don't believe me?

[He grins patting his own torso, which has been shaped from years upon years of swimming almost daily.]

I keep typoing Finnick's name as Finnish today wow

[foodshortage]

[ He throws a glance at Finnick, grunts again. ]

As is all training.

Lol!

[tradingsecrets]

That's true, but there is something to be said for entering another world to train.

He's Finnish now it is known

[foodshortage]

And fight a war.

[ ...he's not trying to be a bummer. Really. ]

Finnick the Finnish man from District 4?

[tradingsecrets]

[He's all sunshines compared to Katniss to be perfectly honest.]

That's true, but you don't have to think about right now. Today is for fun.

Yes

[foodshortage]

[ Oh dear. ]

I suppose so.

Definitely.

[tradingsecrets]

So what better way to maximize the fun effect than by wearing a bathing suit?

[Finnick is going to keep trying to convince him. It is no use arguing or trying to get out of it. You're in his territory.]

[foodshortage]

It makes that much of a difference?

[tradingsecrets]

Does a dull sword cut through a watermelon better than a sharp sword.

[Come on Uther!]

[foodshortage]

[ S i g h. ]

Very well.

[tradingsecrets]

Great! What kind of colors would you like? You seem like the red and gold type if I have to be honest.

[He's teasing him of course.]

[foodshortage]

[ He presses his lips together, and nudges Finnick with an elbow. ]

It doesn't matter.

[tradingsecrets]

[Studies him again with a small smile.]

Okay, we'll just see what we can find.

[foodshortage]

[ He gestures... towards the city. ]

Lead the way.

[tradingsecrets]

[He quietly nods and turns around a little extra spring in his step. It must be because of the water.]

All right there is a place close to here.

[foodshortage]

Hm.

[ He'll just. Follow. ]

[tradingsecrets]

[Oh here is a place for them to grab a bathing suit.]

Here let's go in here. They have a lot of stuff to look through.

[foodshortage]

[ Still just following, without another word. He doesn't have to look pleased about it. Still so sceptical. ]

[tradingsecrets]

[He opens the door and waits for Uther to enter before he does. After all, he had been taught at least that much courtesy if nothing else.]

I think the men's suits are over to the side.
