A Nice Shaded Clearing in the Preserve; Late Monday Afternoon [08/21].

[sword_chocobro]

Sure, the weather was insisting yet again on being hot and humid, but Nell and Gladio had decided they were going to have a picnic that day, and so a picnic they would still have! Maybe it would start to cool down as they headed into evening, anyway, and besides, Gladio was never that bothered by hot weather, anyway.

Even with a shirt on.

So when Nell was finished with work, he swung by to pick her up so they could get things for the picnic together and head out. He knew the preserve very well at this point (best to avoid the woods on the other end of the island for now, really), so he felt he knew a good spot that would be cool and comfortable, with just enough shade from the surrounding trees and close enough to the shore to maybe sometimes get a little bit of a refreshing sea breeze coming off of the ocean.

But, of course, a second opinion on the matter was vital.

"Think this'll work?" he asked, turning to his companion in this particular excursion, with all the confidence that she'd approve because, well...he knew how to pick a good spot.

Nell had actually been about to suggest this very spot. "I think it's perfect," she said with a smile. "Good shade, but still some sun, and a nice little breeze."

It might have been hot and humid still, but Nell had definitely worked all day outside in worse weather and a picnic was a definite treat. And even if it had been terrible she still would have been happy because of the company.

So yes, a quiet little secluded spot to sit and enjoy time with Gladio was wonderful. Bonus that he actually understood being in the woods from his camping experience and knew how to pick a good site.

She set out her old pink blanket and settled herself on it. "What a lovely spot for a picnic."
