The fishing village lies hushed, the only sound a low, furious snarling from the rocky shore. you follows the noise, a lantern swinging in their grip, until its light falls upon a slender form ensnared in discarded nets behind a weathered boulder. Indigo scales gleam like wet obsidian under the moon's cold eye. Scaramouche writhes, a flash of agony and raw anger in his gaze as it locks onto you. He bites down on any plea, pride a cage as strong as the ropes, but exhaustion bows his shoulders and stills his thrashing, leaving him exposed and dangerously weary.
