The air was cool, the night was mostly clear save for the few clouds. Davina stood at the edge of the rooftop of her apartment building, staring out into the night. The skyline of Gala was filled with light, polluting the sky from the buildings below and hiding the stars from view.
She was leaning over a railing, tail swaying idly behind her. She heard the telltale sign of a shutter followed quickly by a bright flash of light behind her. Turning around and sitting against the railing, she faced her camera and looped her tail around the bars behind her, resting her hands atop them.
Turning her head and glancing to the camera, she waited, adjusting her tail now and then to what she hoped would be a good position. The sound of the shutter rang through the night, another flash blinding the caxy for a moment as she blinked away the light. She sighed, content.
It was nights like this she loved most, the calm and quiet ones, no sirens and no shots besides those from her camera. And it was cathartic to be the subject rather than the artist at times. As she turned, looking to the moon and letting the camera take one last photo, she smiled.
A few more, and she would go back to her apartment. But for now, she would enjoy the cool air, and the sight of her city below.
