>Smoke Break 1
A wisp of light gray smoke coiled through the air behind the bright red Delibird Deliveries office. It twisted and spiraled in the faint breeze against a backdrop of the sunset over the sea, fighting for a place between the dark blue and warm red that dominated the skies and sea, and the lush greens and browns that made up the view of Capim Town.
A wave shook the trail of smoke, pausing it's dance momentarily before the wind pulled it along again with its silent melody. Well, silent to most, but certainly not to the origin point of the smoke. Debby took a drag of the cigarette in her beak and blew it out with a sigh as she leaned against the wall of her establishment.
The wind felt nice today, she thought, the cadence was just a few octaves low for perfect flight weather. Her gaze focused on the cloud of smoke ascending and evaporating on the zephyr, and she decided that turbulence would be minimal today as well. If only she wasn't stuck with sorting that intercontinental shipment, she'd be up there right now. Debby sighed a cloud of smoke again.
"Oh!" A surprised yelp caused Debby to turn her head. Usually she'd already have a smile on her face, but she couldn't muster the strength right now, it was her smoke break after all. "I didn't know you smoked..." Kaz the Linoone and Debby the Delibird stared at each other, both at a bit of a loss.
Debby managed to find her voice first and took the cigarette out of her beak to look at it. "I don't really make a habit out of it, hon. Just need to catch a break sometimes, hon." She flicked off the ashes and took another drag, looking into the distant horizon to avoid eye contact. She wasn't exactly ashamed of smoking, but it was a little awkward when someone found out. Too late now, she supposed.
