[On the 21st, Nephry wakes up young. Not so young as to know nothing of the world, but young enough that no real cracks have appeared in her beautiful vision of it.

Much of her day is spent navigating the strange and empty-feeling village without snow. Very few people seem to know what's going on, helpful signs or not. Nephry is not without the courage to ask around, but that's what everyone is doing. There must be a better way. That's how she gets lost in the library for much of the day, finding solace in stories from- other worlds? Other worlds really?

On the 22nd though she has found the only thing that really matters to her - the chance to be with Peony again, no matter how unusual the circumstances. Expect to see her exerting minimal effort to get him to go with her on a picnic. It's a thing she's read about.

Later on in the week, when she isn't spending every waking moment with her beloved or trying to avoid that other person from Auldrant on her trail, Nephry remembers something else she read about, never mind the few people who seem cognizant of mentioning it. Spirits. They sounded so much like the fonon sentiences, just with different names, and less...mystical and unreachable.

So Nephry finds herself both by the river in the southern part of the village, and north of her temporary home near a large important-seeming tree, sitting quietly and waiting for something to happen. When nothing does, it's hard to keep quiet.]

Hello? Is anyone there?

[[ooc: At the tender age of almost-23, Nephry is a romantic at heart and believes good things about the world and ties her hair up with a big ribbon. She is so in love with Peony that it might rot your teeth how sweet they are. And she's lost almost all of her cool diplomatic self.

Other days/times are totally cool in this post as well!]]

[The library? Jade is right outside of it, looking over one of the Sage signs posted there.]

[A tiny dragon only a few days out of her egg is not who Nephry was hoping would hear her call. The small creature, small enough to fit within a hand, had never before heard a human's voice before. If Nephry is looking closely at the water, a blue snake shaped head is carefully peeking up at her.

Not too far out of the water though. The tiny dragon needs water to breath and she's not so sure yet what this strange thing wants. Is it dangerous? If only her mother was here to tell her.]

[He'd do anything to make her happy, so of course he'd go on a picnic with with her. At her request, he's even taken it upon himself to set it up on the hill with the cherry blossom tree and find her to lead her there when he is done.

The set up is simple, though, with a blue blanket and her favorite lunch foods.]

[At some point during Nephry's travels through the village she may spot a particularly familiar hair color, here and there. And she may even have the opportunity to approach it, when the woman stops by a large building that could only be a school building, briefly kneeling to check on the plants there.]
