Guts supposes he can see how it works for them. Village life really had its own cadence to it. It was almost sleepy in its routines, even with much of the day occupied by some kind of work. Though maybe that could have been because he spent plenty of time in the infirmary resting. He could observe without being absorbed in the banality of tending to plants or baking bread, or whatever other boring chore they were doing.

Without realizing he was almost begging for another fire metaphor from Hesri, he says:

"I'm feeling pretty warmed up, but I guess... Training never felt this cheery."

It either had the pressure of trying to prove himself, or a trance-like meditation, or something else. It was never jovial or playful, even if there were triumphant moments sometimes. Even if it felt right.

Wrestling with the girls admittedly seemed like a strange concept, even if he was a step closer to admitting he wouldn't mind another game. He just wasn't sure how to approach it.
