The night was dark and damp, the residue of a day full of rain showers. Although it was still humid, the skies were clear and the last of the cloud cover had disappeared along with the sun. The resulting evening was as wet and cool, refreshing enough for those who had a thick hide to protect a more sensitive skin. In other words, it was a fine night to be a creature of fur, feather, or fin; but a poor eve to require a second artificial coat to keep warm. Typical spring.
Giuseppe found himself wandering the beach this evening. Despite having risen before the sun, the young slate-colored man was still wide awake. The brisk breeze was invigorating, the damp refreshing, and the chill rather satisfying. Alone along the sea-shore, Giu enjoyed the wind, the waves, and the call of the sea-birds.
