The beach itself was fairly empty, no one was about save for a few people here and there soaking up the last of the summer sun before autumn and the rain took over the city. Baron would have to boil his crabs soon before it began to rain else he would be eating raw shellfish for dinner. His campsite was just at the forest edge beside the tree line, his moderately sized black and green tent situated at the back of his site, a yard or two from it was his fire and pot, the fire was built in a basic manor a pillar of sticks encircled by a few rocks, just as a boy scout may do it and his fishing rod rested on the ground not too far from the flame. Looking over his shoulder he would pat down his person just a general check to make sure everything was fine before he would turn to a small blue white topped cooler at his side. He would kneel beside the cooler and open it to reveal a mass two dozen crabs writhing, squirming, and scuttling over one another. “Looks like I caught too many, how about I put some of you little guys back home?” he spoke to his clawed stock as he closed the cooler and carried it down the beach with a smile. His attire for the dat was what he normally wore: a pair of black form fitting sweat pants, black sandals, and his cloak, chest exposed as the hood blew back in the wind as it picked up. When he arrived at the beach head, his cloak blew black revealing his well toned, athletic form.
“Gotta be careful, don’t wanna lose too many of you.” his words were soft as he lowered the cooler and opened it once again. Dipping his hands into the cooler he would pick up Crabs by the handful, scoping them out and putting them down so they could scuttle into the sand and water. When he thought he let enough go he looked back down at his cooler to see he still had 3 or so left, the unlucky scragglers that couldn’t get scooped up, pity, but he had to eat. Closing his cooler he made his way back to his camping site, food in hand as he would make it back, just before looking out to the sea, the storm was getting close and he wasn’t in any mood to get rained on again. After deeming the water hot enough he would pick up the first, it was about as big as his hand, six inches wide. He would drop it in head first to make sure it wouldn’t suffer long and pushed it down with his tongs to make sure it boils even. “Alright, about 30 minutes will work.” he nodded, putting the lid on the pot, getting up and stretching, “Let’s see if I have any seasoning left.” he mumbled to himself as he turned to his tent, unzipping and entering it to look through his bag.
Thunder echoed over the sea, rain was coming.
