It was noon in Pelican town, the spring sun was warm, but the ocean waters were still cold from winter. Lorelei did their best to ignore this, though, as they stood stone still in the frigid waters with a bucket held over their head.
Without the skill for mining and the finances for buying ore, Lorelei was without any crab pots, so this was their solution. Freezing water, a bucket, and a hope that they were fast enough to snatch anything that wandered into their line of sight.
A crab was emerging from the sand beside Lorelei’s bare feet, before they could even fear being pinched, they slammed the bucket down into the water. They thought they had succeeded, until they pulled the bucket out to find salty water, and a whole lot of sand.
They slapped the water in frustration, teeth chattering as they swore to themself with an angry “damnú air!”
They emptied their bucket in defeat and waded back to the shore, sitting in the sand and glaring at the water. They’d been swimming and fishing their whole life, but there were days the ocean just didn’t work with you. That was something Lorelei always understood, but that didn’t mean they have to like it.
