Changes in the Air [Grant and Celia]

Days off from training and fighting were rare, so when they occurred, Grant made sure to savor them. Vegas had been feeling generous after Grant's recent victory, a fight that had made his father figure mentor benefactor boss a small fortune. It hadn't been easy, and Grant was currently sporting a black eye and more than his fair share of bruises, primarily in his midsection. The strangest wound though was a circle of tooth marks around his thumb however, where his opponent had sunk his teeth into Grant, a desperate attempt to throw him off his game. Grant had to admit, as dirty and disgusting as a trick as it was, it was an effective strategy. Grant had been unable to to punch the man in the midsection, as that would have caused him to bite down harder, potentially even severing his finger. Luckily, Grant had seen the open opportunity, a quick jab to the jaw which had freed his hand from the man's grip. A fast hook to the other side of the head, using the newly freed hand, had ended the fight in Grant's favor. Not that he was surprised. Grant's training had never failed him before.

Now that he was free to do as he wished for three whole days, a testament to the wealth Vegas was currently reaping, Grant was... lost. He was never quite sure what to do in his free time, except for admire nature's beauty as he strolled through the district. He had always been fascinated  with the way fields looked around sunset time, as the orange sun lit up the amber waves of grain, resembling a tender flame. Sometimes Grant would lie down in the midst of a field, surrounded by the tall stalks of a farm's vegetation, and just stare up into the sky. Perhaps he would do that today, he thought. Or maybe he would through a field of bulls, the creatures whose strength and lifestyle reminded him so much of himself.

As he walked through the streets of District 10, Grant's thoughts drifted. Most people stayed out of his way, for his stature sent a message of power even to those who didn't know who he was, so Grant wasn't concerned as he rounded the corner.
