~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The path was swift-going, even though for the less swift and agile foot it'd really be slow-going. Underbrush and roots alike were no match for the curl and pad and hop of bare, nimble feet.

A lone figure was weaving a path towards the city of Rhydin with little more than a pack on her back and a burst of song in her wild heart. Bits of leaf and twig had caught the wild curl of her nutty, sun kissed hair, but the woman paid it no mind; there was a look in her eye that spoke of an untamable inner zeal, and it leaked out into each and every graceful leap she took along the unseen trail she was blazing.

Lights and noises came into focus for her earlier than it would for most, and once it did, out came a crooked, sweet little smile that lit up all the rest of her tanned features.

It was time to enter the city again. Nami had been away too long, and unfortunately, self sufficient and careful a creature she was on her own, sometimes the nymph was guilty of desiring more mortal delights. Not many could boast to knowing, let alone remembering the wiry woman, but she didn't let the passing thought bother her in the slightest...

She was ready to socialize again, the wood had kept her too long and left her pockets too light. Sometimes it was people that could give her what the earth could not. Whoops! Bad, bad, nymph, she was picking up bad habits from her mischievous fae-kin cousins.
