It was a rare day, a very rare day, at least for Hien it was one day in a million. A day off, a day without the thought of what she needed to be doing. Soft red eyes stared up towards the glaring sun, its rays beat down upon her warming her by many degrees. She threw from her mind so many pressing issues of the time, the blasted marines, the sometimes questionable leadership of her comrades, the cause she was so invested in. They all slid aside for today. For today, her first day off in what was months, probably more than a year, honestly she couldn't recall the last time she'd done something like this.
She shifted carefully, one of her fingers traveled carefully down her side to adjust the strap holding the bottom half of her bikini. It was a strange choice of clothing for her, for some odd reason one of her coworkers had given it to her upon hearing where she was heading. It was a strange choice but it did allow her to fully experience the sun rays, which was somewhat rare for her given the usual propensity for full cloaks.
Placing both hands down upon the sheet of cloth she'd laid out beneath her Hien momentarily sat up and took a glance around. The place was crowded, kids and adults both were strewn out before her all up and down the way. They played and danced, talked and ate, as well as probably a hundred other small things she didn't really care to pay attention to.
She laid back down, shifting slightly upon the cloth she messed with mounds of sand beneath it to make a more comfortable place to lay. She was ... comfortable, as comfortable as she could be doing such a strange thing. So many people just sitting around and enjoying there life made her a little annoyed. The sound of their lives going on overlaid with the crash of waves against the island was a low drum, none of it really mattered, or it shouldn't have. Upon her back she stayed for a few more minutes, her eyes were half closed because she couldn't get them to stay fully so.
The inaction of it goaded her, made her almost twitchy. Raising a hand up she shaded her eyes for a moment as she looked around. The beach was, such a boring place, she sighed. Why a break, and why here ... she wondered to herself. HQ was so weird about these things. A cool sea breeze turned up a refreshing feeling for a moment. Once more she looked up and down the line, maybe there was something more interesting she could do, something more active. Unfortunately swimming was out of the question.
