when her body parts ways with life.
_____The colorful fabric was a peculiar sensation against her body, heavy and flowing, and seeming to confine her frame horribly within it's bright layers. She'd secured it loosely around the waist with a long silk sash, gliding through the decorative streets of chinatown with the warmth of alcohol flowing through her veins. Head down, dark hair concealing her features, body swayed faintly to a rhythm no one else could hear, ancient songs and old rhymes dying on her tongue. The sound of water reached her ears and briefly vision lifted, blank and empty, trying to focus on what lie ahead. There was a pond, water gushing from the mouths of four fish perched at the edges of a fountain. Approaching, the hem of her kimono whispering softly as it dragged along the ground, Kezia peered into the water, staring right into the face of a gigantic fish.
_____Lips curved with a smile, she watched the koi mouth the water as it breathed, peering up with wide, fishy eyes. Hand moved toward the surface, brushing a single claw across the water and causing the fish to quickly twist away and vanish among some weeds. Seating herself on a stone at the pond's edge, sleeve pulled back to reveal the bottle of clear liquor held in her hand. Cap long since lost, she lifted the opening to her lips, muzzle wrinkling in faint distaste as the liquid flowed into her mouth, despite tongue being long since numb to the burn. A soft sigh breathing past her lips, the only sound she'd made in a long time, girl turned to the water, watching fish swim lazily through the murky darkness.
