Summer had hit full stride. The days were warm and muggy, sometimes almost unbearably so. She was already finding herself thankful for the several creeks that meandered down the Sunspire mountainside. Amekaze appreciated the convenient cool-off they provided.
But today she ranged abroad just as dawn's earliest influence was hitting the skies after still being up through the nighttime hours. Her destination in mind, the Greatwater Lake, came with purpose. Simple, but one she was determined to make good of: fishing.
Now had this been springtime, she knew fishing in the morning was not the best. The waters were usually not warm enough for the fish to be overly active. However, with summer here, this was eliminated -- in theory, and by late afternoon, the waters may even be too warm for the fishes to be easy catches. She guessed morning, and perhaps early evening, would be best but she needed real proof of this through a day of intensive fish-catching.
Ame intended to spend much of the day at the lakeside, dozing on and off whenever the fishing became poor, and testing this theory to when exactly fishing's best hours came in the summertime. The creeks and rivers she usually fished in around here were different stories, but she aimed for bigger fish this time with greater consistency, anyway. Thus why the lake was her intention, and she arrived at the shore just as dawn was really under way.
She wasted no time wading ankle-deep into the waters, first to test their warmth and to put her sights to work searching for streaks of fish under the surface. Here she would be for hours to come, successful in her theories or not.
