The day was still young, though the morning dew had already gone, either soaked up by the soft ground or dried, by the already heavy sun that shown as brightly now as if it were high noon. It was very hot outside, even for so early in the day. She was glad for her container of water she’d decided to take with her, as the few shops that were already open, didn’t carry such things as water or food, but held within them trinkets and baubles. She wore her usual leather outfit, it was brown and fit tightly, open in many places and exposed a lot of her to the world, but it was hot outside and the world was lucky, or some might say unlucky, she decided to wear clothes at all. Her hair was the usual, short and spike, messy looking for the most part, but she liked it and that was all that mattered to her.
She moved on through the street and walked over to take a seat on one of the benches for a bit, watching the day move on and soaking in the knowledge she’d taken from all those books she had moved through. She had spent the last three days, cooped up in the library in study not once coming out to see the light of day and the fresh air now was a pleasant thing indeed, even if it was hot.
The girl took her water flask and put it to her lips then drank, recapped the thing and then sighed as she watched now, a group of people moving into the streets. Many of them were dressed still in clothing that would offer them heatstroke should they stay out for too long, once again, the rich overly dressed for the weather, concerning themselves over appearance instead of comfort. “Fools” she chided outwardly.
Sky wasn’t usually a judgmental person but sometimes people just got under her skin and she had no choice but to judge. It tipped her temperament when she witnessed stupidity. That was when the devilish smile curved her lips and a bit of static danced around in her dark brown orbs as she developed a childish prank.
She rose to her feet and began walking toward the crowd, that bit of static that danced in her eyes now gone, though held patiently in her right hand and as she passed a couple, both dressed like peacocks moving past her, she let it out, the static electricity zapping the both of them with just enough force to make them jump and look around. Finding nothing, the man looked to his wife puzzled. Again, Zap, harder this time to their posteriors and both jerked awkwardly and let out small yelps, making heads turn their way. The embarrassment on those two faces was way worth any small effort Sky had put into this.
It was all she could do at that time to hold in her laughter and had to make way back to her bench where she laughed quite heartily for a few moments. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to let the irritation be gone from her system and so, she determined she’d best stop before she got out of hand with it, and that would be an easy thing to do.
