He was totally still silent, the only things moving being his flanks, rising steadily with each breath, and his eyes, which blinked occasionally. It was a beautiful evening - there was still a tinge of red in the sky, and the stars were only just peeping out. There was a light wind, and small, just barely white-capped ruffles were stroking the ocean's surface.
He couldn't make himself be cheery about it, though. He felt strangely...disconnected, like a jigsaw puzzle that with a couple of pieces gone. Like something was missing.
