The Argo II was docked in an inland bay. It's residents were currently exploring seaside shops and the lively streets the foreign country had to offer. The sun enveloped the travellers warmly, the breeze provided was salty and refreshing.

They'd just explored the outskirts of town so that Leo could gather tools to repair fixes in the boats hardware. Then it turned into getting ice-cream, then it turned into sightseeing. Percy was trying on hats at some old lady's seashell stand, whilst Annabeth chided on about how pink wasn't his colour. Hazel snickered. Frank nudged her playfully and offered her an ice-cream cone, to which she smiled and accepted it gratefully.

Reyna was trying to keep the group on track, but even she was giving in to the sweet temptation of exploration. She decided to 'scout out the area for potential threats', which ended up in her bargaining against a local for a lower price on an antique satchel she'd seen and decided was a necessity.

I mean, who was to blame them for wanting a day of relaxation? The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and it didn't seem like it was a time pocket or monster mayhem spawn point. No, it just seemed like a sunny, tourist-y town. That wasn't so bad for a random Wednesday, right?

"Hey, check it out!" Leo called out from a side street, pointing to a mural spray painted on the wall. It was hard to tell what it was, but it certainly looked familiar. Hm...

"It looks like Coach Hedge." Piper pointed out, making sure to whisper. Coach Hedge glanced over to her, raising an eyebrow.

"What'd you say, girl?" He narrowed his eyes, tone sharp. Why in Hades was he still carrying around his bat throughout the streets? It was like he was superglued to that thing.

"Nothing." Piper answered quickly, to which Jason laughed a little.

Nico smiled, which quickly faded once he'd felt something be placed on his head. Percy giggled from behind him, to which Nico turned and scowled, pulling off the gifted hat. Where did Percy even find a cowboy hat in a place like this?
