Thea wasn’t quite fond of the colder weather.
For one, it made all of the oilspill within her feel queasy. It didn’t freeze in cold weather, thankfully, but it did become more solid, making her whole body feel colder and more awkward.
Worse, though, were the preparations she had to make around the lighthouse before the coast froze over. Most ships around her region stopped sailing during this more dangerous season, but due to a few stragglers risking things, she had to prepare things to ensure their safety. Which, all in all, was a hassle.
First of all, she had to check the shore her lighthouse resided on to see if there were any debris that had washed nearby, causing a shipwreck hazard. Fishing things out always took more energy than she’d like it to, leaving her winded.
Next, she had to bring in the dock. If it froze within the ice, it would also become a hazard, since ships may not see it beneath the ice, and end up smashing into the side of it.
After one last heave, she managed to bring it to shore - her last chore was to set out the life buoys, but… she was winded, frankly.
Perhaps she could let it wait until tomorrow. Perhaps… she could go back inside, and have some cocoa instead.
Yes. Yes, that was a good idea.
