INK
Nym's big eyes wandered the street as she looked for something that might have kept her attention for more than five minutes, not finding anything that met that description. When she looked forward again, an older boy was walking towards her. He smiled to her, giving her a little wave as well. Almost instantly, the blood rushed to her cheeks, making them a soft rosy red. She just about managed to pull a hand away from her sketchpad to gingerly wave back at the guy before he passed by her. He looked somewhat familiar, he might've been at school. Perhaps she would see him tomorrow. Maybe that small moment was the first hint at a friend? She would've liked to think so.
For now though, she would have to continue her journey home alone. Passing the many restaurants and take-outs made her hunger a little more obvious. She paused for a moment, checking her phone again for the time; almost eight o'clock. Perhaps she should wait till she got home, it was getting a little late for her liking. Eventhough her parents wanted her to spend some time out, she was pretty sure that they would start to get worried if she began to take too much longer. Especially seeing as she had school in the morning. With that thought, she continued walking again, speeding up her pace a little. It seemed to be taking her longer to get home than she had originally thought.
It wasn't long before she was passing by 'Ramen Don', a little place where she'd eaten a couple of times since she came to 8-bit. The food wasn't half bad. If she was planning a quick stop, then she probably would've gone in there. But she had already decided it was time for her to go home, and so instead hugged her sketchpad closer to her again while she carried on homeward bound, ignoring most of the random talk about some guy called Chase doing some ritual in an alleyway. The people round here sure did come up with some crazy stuff round here - although the phenomena itself had been quite crazy too and Nym wasn't sure what to make of it.
