[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!]]

She wasn't sure where her siblings were, but maybe this person would like to play. She stops her spinning and grabs a mouthful of water. Coming up to spray a tiny stream at Nephry, as she would sometimes prank her air breathing siblings, before dashing to and fro in a zig-zag pattern. Stopping for a moment to see if she was being 'chased' at all. If she isn't she'll come back to the shore and give it another try.
The chase game isn't very fun without the chase part after all!]

I can't swim. I don't know how.
[Action]
Of course, because she can't leave the water either she comes close to the shore. She flicks her tail back and forth as she looks up at Nephry.
Only she starts to get distracted. Her eyes starting to look more towards the small minnows darting in and out of some of the smaller rocks on the edge of the river.]

[Right now it looks like the spirit of hunting minnows in the sunlight.]

Yes! It's easy!

[But it is cute and Nephry gets up to crouch closer to the water.]
Can you come out?
[Action]

[Action]
Ah, well. She tries instead to hold still. So that Nephry might be able to get a decent look at her once the ripples from her splash settle again.]
[Action]
You're quite cute.
