muse: ethan cormack - successful author and established loner, a man of few words but never rude. concept: ethan’s visiting town as part of a sailing competition that he was interested in watching. your muse approaches him on the beach while the race is wrapping up and the sun is beginning to set.
the majority of the day had been quite peaceful, really. sailing was generally quite an insular sport and ethan had become familiar with the majority of those in the region who enjoyed watching it. beyond standard small talk, most of them left ethan to enjoy the afternoon by himself. he’d had his notebook with him, scrawling down ideas when they struck but for the most part he’d simply found pleasure in the fresh air and open ocean in front of him. the person approaching him wasn’t unwelcome, as such, ethan was just not particularly fond of the idea of ‘making friends’ today. “hi,” he said as they sat down next to him, trying not to let his discomfort show in his expression. “enjoy the race today?”
