WARNINGS: none as of yet!

[It's warm again, and that means swimming in the pool. Their house in Heropa has one in the backyard, and though at first Riku wasn't sure what to do with it, he'd decided to take care of it and actually use it. Through the winter, though it wasn't cold, he wouldn't consider it swimming-outside weather, either. So until recently, it had sat unused, dead leaves collecting on the cover. Today he's taken it upon himself to clean it off and get the thing running again.
Naturally, this means the pool itself can't be used for another little while. It's had a shock treatment, and though he'd like to replace the cover, so the animals won't jump in, he can't, in interest of the treatment working properly. Instead, he's just put the pigs in their house and the dog in the house. In the meantime, the vacuum is sitting dry at the edge of the pool, waiting for its turn. Riku himself is at the pool's edge too, doing some water tests. He looks like he's deep in thought.]

[With the way things are lately, Riku's felt a little inadequate. Not in his fighting skills but in his knowledge and awareness of the way this place works. A lot of things are similar to home, but a lot of things aren't -- especially regarding law and the way different regions interact with each other. It's along this train of thought that he's gone to the library. He does a lot of things just online -- it's easy to just hang out at home and click around the internet, especially in the middle of the night -- but he likes the library. It's enjoyable, in a way he can't really put a word to.
Today he's sitting at a table with a mess of books in front of him, a few tall stacks as well as a less organized pile in the middle. Some of them have bookmarks sticking out of them, and some of them are lying open, held that way by other books. The boy himself is almost hidden behind the taller of the towers, which is kind of impressive. The subjects of the books range from ones on actual laws to ones on traditions, and there are some books about the history of the country as well. He's poring over one right now that appears to be a description of locally available foods.]

[Riku goes to the Nonah Training Facility quite a lot. Not always to swim, though he does that quite frequently, too. Today he's working on hand to hand combat. Generally, he would use the Keyblade, or a similar one-handed weapon, but he doesn't like the idea of nullifiers, either. So he's been studying various forms of bare-handed combat. There are classes you can take, he's aware, but he feels like he'd rather do it on his own. This way, he can mix between different styles, too, without feeling like he's cheating or supposed to stick to one thing.
For Riku, the easiest thing is to simply use a punching bag. He doesn't necessarily like to bother somebody by dragging them over here, and this way, he doesn't have to wait for anyone, either. He can just go whenever he feels like it. There are a few hanging heavy bags, but he's using one on a stand. It's a little lighter than a traditional one and snaps back quickly when he hits it, and so he's able to work on timing out hits as well as specific moves.
He's working fairly hard and he's thinking about taking a break, but he's in the middle of counting out a set of moves, so he's decided to finish it before stopping. This particular set is twelve hits long, but that goes by pretty quick, especially when you're halfway there already.]
... ten, eleven, twelve.
[Riku stops, steps away, his bare feet quiet on the mat. That's enough for now.]
