          Finding a good spot to practice and keep in shape was harder than he thought. But it wasn’t nearly impossible like it was when he’d lived in larger cities. In Edgewood there were plenty of hidden places that were easy to get to. The problem was that he didn’t exactly have the time to go searching for more spots. He’d been in town long enough to that there were plenty of things for him to do and investigate. Since his job kept him in shape, he didn’t worry as much about practicing, though he didn’t want to lose any of the knowledge he’d spent years learning. He doubted that it would disappear overnight; he didn’t want to take any chances. Part of the hunting lifestyle had meant never staying in one place long enough to make any real connections. Edgewood made that a little different. Here there were people he’d gotten to know, friends, and co-workers. He had to be even more sure of what he was doing because even if he did decide to leave, he didn’t want to force Claudia to have to move if she didn’t want to. There were only so many bridges he could theoretically burn. 

          He’d found the secluded spot the other day when he was in the woods. It seemed like the perfect place to set up a target. Lucio made quick work of setting up a makeshift target. He had an arsenal of weapons in his backpack: knives, an old compound bow, and even his gun. It was the knife he pulled out first. Despite the dark, he could still see around the clearing perfectly. His eyes adjusted to the darkness and there was enough moonlight that he didn’t feel completely in the dark. Lucio looked at the blade for a moment, light gleaming off the blade. He took aim and threw the knife, watching for a moment as it spun a few times before it gave a solid clunk as it embedded itself into the target. He took his last two knives from the sack and threw them at the same time. For the next little bit, he work carefully, reminding himself of why he trained. 

Definitely not crying mysekf the fuck to sleep because I still spend every night with them cus we have the same boyfriend and i have hardly anywhere to talk about it cus we share so many servers and i dont want them to feel bad

will you fuel the desire to win?

always struggling with the truth

of the life that might have been

but no matter how jagged your path is

you’ll always come back to the road

when the dust of battle settles
