Welcome to Gaia! ::

"A surviving one." Teased Nadiya lightly. Despite their situation the girl somehow always managed to save a little of her spunk and even now seemed more energized than dismayed by the storm. "But I suppose being a hero works too~" She smiled before pressing back against him as another wave rocked their venture back towards the shore.

As they hit land Nadiya's stomach rolled. It seemed that going from rocking waves during the storm to a more steady grounding wasn't the best for her empty stomach, "I'm okay..." She replied though an obvious shiver did ripple through her body just then. Come on wind! You're not making my life any easier...

Still, she couldn't help looking around. "How long do you think this will go on?" At her question another brilliant flash of lightening lit up the sky and illuminated the groove of trees around them.

When the male rubbed her arms, Nadiya's face was what seemed to warm up the most. Sure, she had brothers - but the fact that she was face to face with this stranger hit her again. Without the storm it wasn't hard to become embarrassed by such treatment. "I can tell you have a bigger family." She commented lightly, "You're too good and used to taking care of others. Thank you though."

"Sounds good..." Nadiya bit the inside of her cheek thoughtfully before she glanced around once more. Wouldn't getting too far away from the market worry those two? "Actually I should linger here just in case my brother comes looking for me. He's good at being a worry wart." She shook her head with a small laugh. "Until then...how do we pass time? Have any good stories to tell?"

"Not even any folktales or anything?" Nadiya pouted before she slumped against a tree, "Then I suppose I can just fiddle around with my flute a bit until the storm ends. If you don't mind listening to an amateur." She teased lightly before bringing her cherished position out of the satchel at her side.

Leaning back the girl began to play a few wisps of music and watched as the storm rolled on around them. Hopefully it would let up soon and she could wander back to the market then...if it got worse then she may have to take Gael's offer after all. Still at least today had been fun! Well, for Nadiya at least. Who knew what anyone else would think of this stormy situation?

Still, she couldn't help but to feel peaceful as she continued to play over the wailing winds...
