Now, while it's nice and quiet outside, he can grab a little practice time. People are excited about the league and that's great, he loves it.
But he's always carved out time for throwing practice every day, even back on Caprica where the only people who care about pyramid are the people who survived the planet getting nuked. He's not gonna do things any differently here. Besides, it's nice out and he has to do something while he's here. It looks like that thing with Ellen and the armory is looming, but before that happens, there's this. This thing he loves, this thing he's really good at, this thing he's done all his life. He sets up one backstop, just one. This type of practice, it's finesse training. Memorizing every inch of this playing field: its bumps and lumps and pits and valleys, the way the wind blows in off the lake, the angle of the sun setting in the sky. That's all valuable data and he tucks it away for later use.
Fifteen game balls, fifteen shots. The first three go in like clockwork. The fourth is just wide, but five and six are almost perfect. He's feeling pretty good and hopes he never gets to a point where he has to say I used to be good at this. If it's the last frakking thing he does, he'll stay on his game.
