511 Winter 5th
The morning sky had just arrived, and Gabrielle was working around her small ship, which was currently anchored at the port of Syliras. There weren't many other anchored ships around at the moment, and the city itself was still quiet. Gabrielle much preferred this quiet aura for a change. Most people were probably still in their homes, sleeping snugly. Because it was winter, it was cold almost the whole day. The only few people present at the docks at the moment were the few fishermen who were heading out for the day.
Gabrielle contemplated on going out to try her hand at fishing at well. Just the day before, she had escorted a few men to a nearby fishing spot. Fishing was something Gabrielle wasn't good at but something she enjoyed. 'Perhaps I should get myself a rod? Or maybe a net, but I'm just a single person, I probably can't handle a fish net...'
She felt that foreign pouch in one of her pockets, a pouch which she had swiped from a man in a tavern a few days ago. Gabrielle had a vague remembrance of the man -- blonde hair and blue eyes, and he travelled with a dog. After the days had passed, she was sure he had realized his pouch was missing. The man didn't come after her, though. He probably thought he lost it somewhere -- he probably didn't even suspect the girl from the tavern. Gabrielle always felt slight euphoria when 'taking' what wasn't hers. She knew most races regarded it as a bad trait of the Svefra, but Gabrielle always thought it was just strong belief in one's confidence: if you can take something, nothing should stop you.
Amidst her thoughts, Gabrielle grabbed a pail of water and a mop and started to clean her deck. As she did, she daydreamed about fishing, and of her dolphin friend named Kairo. She missed having her dolphin and her family around -- basically, she missed having a friend. Absently, she started to softly sing her favorite lyrics about the dolphins of the sea. Lost in a reverie, Gabrielle didn't take much notice of anything else.
