[While most of the village's bustling has been to accommodate the needs of those who've been chosen to battle outside the barrier, Cecil has internalized the opposite. The Malnosso have seen fit to pit his best friend against the third party that murdered him so viciously before, and Cecil's not handling it as well as he might. Housemates might notice a rekindled fighting spirit in the patriarch who'd become willing to set down roots.]

[And though in the past few months Cecil has been casual about his training, today the bit of forest he's chosen for his training is alive with the sounds of his grunts and the oddly melodic noise of a sword swung with purpose. Settling down will just have to wait.]
