Camping 101; Friday, 3rd Period [06/07].

"We're actually not going to be heading into the preserve like usual today," Gladio admitted with an apologetic smile, especially since it was pretty clear that their little walk in the woods to the campsite was pretty big highlight of the class so far, "but we will be gearing up and taking a bit of a walk all the same. You'll notice," he gestured toward the waiting packs, "that today's gear is also a little bit different, because today, we're going to start going into some various camp-adjacent activities, and it's been a good week for fishing, so that's what we're going to focus on today."

He paused, for the expected groan he'd be hearing from Prompto at this news (or from anyone else, for that matter), and grinned faintly.

"We'll go into it more when we get on location," he said, "but, in the meantime, grab a pack, and we'll hike our way on over to Selkie Lake and start casting lines."

Go Fish!

Take a Hike! - Camping, 06/07.

A hike through the town you're all fairly familiar with to get from the preserve down to Selkie Lake might not be as appealing in nature, but with all those stairs, there's no denying you're still getting in a good workout with the march!

Class Activity: Fishing! - Camping, 06/07.

And, once they arrive at the lake, it's time to start going through your gear as Gladio leads you through hopefully everything you'll need to know as a beginning angler. How to set up your rod, how to cast your line, what to do if you actually get a bite...

"Now," he said, once he finally got to that point, "important thing about fishing, especially when you're camping, is that it's a pretty passive--"

"Boring!" Prompto shouted out helpfully, and Gladio snorted.

"--okay, yeah, and boring activity, more often than not. Especially this time of day, the fish really aren't biting much, so it's a lot of sitting around and waiting for something to happen. Which means it's also a good time to just sort of relax, enjoy a nice day, and enjoy the company you're keeping. Especially since....sometimes, you're not always going to have a nice late morning or afternoon to just get a few of your friends together and sit around and do nothing but spend time together. So, whenever you can, it's really important to not take that for granted."

He gave the class a soft sort of smile and a moment to just let that linger before he clapped his hands together and started toward the shore. "Alright, then! Enough yammering! Let's see if anyone can actually manage to catch one of these suckers."

If he's not careful, he's almost going to make it sound like he actually does enjoy fishing after all!
