The foul stench of rotten fish drifted on salty air, though it did not bother those who were immersed in it day after day; the fisherman that is. Cirion stood at a rickshaw table built near the docks, specifically used for the cleaning of fish. Gutting, skinning, filleting; preparing the fish to take right into the palace of Dol Amroth. As a former Swan Knight, Cirion had gained some extra business, and that was from Prince Imrahil himself. He had fished since a child, though he wasn't greater than any other fisherman on the open waters. His boat was small, and his crew consisted of only three other men, two of them just boys, the sons of a tailor down the way.

The sharp knife slid through silky bodies, and bloodied hands pushed the heads and innards off the side into a large barrel. Gulls swarmed overhead and their cries pierced the air. Cirion finished the last of his haul, and placed them in the wooden cart next to him. It was lined with clean boards and grasses on top, and he placed a cloth cover to keep the dust and birds away as he walked away from the plank docks to the dusty streets. He washed his hands in a basin, and let the boys finish scrubbing off the cleaning table while he started walking with the cart to deliver his catch, a few gulls trailing behind him.
