[center][h1][color=f26522]Milo Ventri[/color][/h1][/center] [hr][hr] Milo heard the faintest noise of splashing from through his headphones, and then what sounded like words, but he couldn't tell. He tugged the line a bit to see if he had anything but there was nothing on it, that was when he noticed the wisp of silver hair in his periphery, Vika stood there on the bank looking flustered to all hell like she hadn't expected him to be outside of his own shop. Milo took out his headphones and set his rod down. [color=f26522]"Sorry, I was listening to music, didn't see you there."[/color] Milo shrugged his good shoulder, [color=f26522]"Well, I am alive, so that is about the best that I can ask for."[/color] He kind of thumbed some of his equipment, [color=f26522]"Got shot yesterday, not as fun."[/color] Milo chuckled, the pain from the wound wasn't bad so he wasn't to worried. [color=f26522]"As much as I love all the small talk and the idea that your dad is a sailor but you know zero fishing terms, I think I should come clean a little."[/color] He didn't get up from where he was as he started to talk about everything that had been going on, the guns, the deals with Jackie, the reasons why Paige had been around so much, he told her all of it, with a bit of regret and relief in his face. [color=f26522]"I shouldn't have hidden so much, but I thought that it was too deep to let someone know about, I thought I could handle it all, but I couldn't, it's over now though, and I am finally breathing again."[/color] Milo stood now, he leaned against the rock he was near and grinned, [color=f26522]"Well, I guess this is the part where you should freak out, I really had no right to complain with all I had been hiding."[/color] Milo had a smile that was less amusement and much more of acceptance, the acceptance of what he had done and who he is becoming.
