He patrols the floe before breakfast.

Beanie Pengu

Morning Watch

Every morning, Beanie Pengu checks the blue ice before the gulls wake. He tests the wind with one loose tassel, counts the quiet cracks, and watches the mountains for unnecessary drama. The beanie stays on through sleet, sideways snow, and awkward silence. By breakfast, the floe is orderly, the bay is calm, and nobody can explain who appointed him.

Daily Procedure

The shift is simple: inspect the ice, face the weather, record nothing, and return before the beanie gathers too much snow.
