Aria walked into the gates of Omashu with no problem. One of the guards had recognized her from last year sense that's when she went for her yearly visit to civilization. The city changed so much each year yet the people seemed not to. Or well not really. They always seemed, busy loud, solemn. Not much joy unless it was in private homes. But that is where Aria differed. Greatly. The white haired air bender had a grin on her face as she walked through the streets looking at everything and listening as people shouted out there items.

Adjusting her backpack on her shoulders she walked with long wide and silly strides. Looking up and down and around at all the things. It was absolutely amazing! She passed a man selling cabbages in a cart and a woman selling melons arguing with the cabbage man. Blinking she looked around where she was. The market seemed bigger then the year before and she felt lost. Blinking and looking around desperate for any sign of which way she should go she set off in a random one her head down looking at her feet.

Aria turned randomly lucky not to ram into anyone she looked up quickly. No where near anything similar instead she seemed to have managed to wiggle herself into the maze of back streets and alleys. She looked around and slowed her walk. Interesting... There were people strewn about in groups talking in low voices. Every once and awhile eyes darted over to her to which Aria waved energetically receiving many raised eyebrows. She walked happily through the hidden streets and walked passed a stall where a woman was selling live chickens... Who would want to buy live chickens in a place like this? The woman behind the stall clapped her hands at Aria and ushered her over. "You ought leave girly... Place like this are no good for people like you..."

Aria stared at the the woman. "Your selling chickens... I don't think this place could be that bad if people are buying chickens..." The woman stared at Aria... And she stared back before smiling... Grinning waving and walking deeper into the maze of alleys continuing her strange and unique walk...
