The moon shone down on the ebony woman, turning the golden highlights in her fur from a soft gold to a shimmering silver as she stood on the dock in the Halifax harbor. The cry of a gull could be heard every now and then and if one knew what to listen to they could hear the soft squeaks of the bat that soared overhead snatching insects from the warm spring air. Miriette smiled to herself as the breeze that came off the ocean whipped at her hair, attempting to steal away the beads and stones that adored her mane.
She twisted a lock of her silky hair around one finger as she cast the line back into the sea, teasing at the fish that lurked below with the tiny bit of bait on the hook. She wasn't actually looking to catch the fish to eat though she hadn't went hunting yet that night. Instead she'd just wanted to see what she could catch, though it looked like nothing so far. Shaking her head slightly she slowly reeled in the line.
The ease of the art of fishing was relaxing. She didn't care if she caught anything or not, sitting on the edge of the bay with a pole and a drink was enough for her. As long as the rum bottle stayed filled with the lovely spicy taste she could bask in this kind of life.. Though deep inside she knew she had a duty to tend to, but tonight it could rest. She'd already found the beast, now to put the plans into motion, that was what was next on her list of things to do.
