Wandering into the Glade with a gold-plated smile and plaid scarf came Nikki, bursting from the treeline in mid-sprint into the open meadow, arms twirling in the sun. Thank Goddess--finally some sunshine! It had been a long couple of days, what with all the snow of early Winter, but the weather had cleared for today. The sun amidst several poofy clouds of white dominated the sky, warming the already icy ground and making Nikki long for the outdoors.
<br><br>
Sighing in ecstasy, the girl made her way into the center of the glade, bedazzled by the half-frozen buds of flowers trying to push up through the snow. Still in these temperatures such things grew. Wishing suddenly she had brought her camera, Nikki bent over, stretching her knee-high brown boots to further examine this flora.
<br><br>
Man, is it nice out today! Nikki bounced suddenly from her viewing spot and laughed up at the sun, mentally thanking it for shining so nicely today. So Nikki was a little high on life. Go figure.

Upon more exploration of the island, Seth noticed how beautiful the island actually was. So, he decided to bring a camera where he went since the landscapes were filled with detail and looks absolutely amazing.

Walking into the Sapphire Glade was amazing for Seth. He hated the cold so much the past couple of days, and it was nice to feel some warmth from the sun's beams hit his face. He noticed this area was also covered in snow, but things were growing as if it wasn't even Winter.

After snapping a photograph of the sun shining through some icy looking clouds, Seth began down the path again only to come to a field of flowers shooting out of the snow. It looked breath-taking.

Out of one ear, Nikki caught the snapwhirrr of a camera, a picture being taken not too far away. Turning on her heel and sweeping some stray bangs from her eyes, coming her way was a tall, rather dashing fellow with the camera in question. Lighting up with a grin, not only did the day provide her with sunshine and the slightest warmth, but also company! Must be my lucky day.
<br><br>
Throwing one end of her scarf over one shoulder, Nikki rose to her tip-toes and waved in arm through the air to get the man's attention. I mean, he's gotta be friendly, right? "Hee-llo-ooo!" Nikki called out across the field, accidentally stomping a flower bud in the process. Deciding it customary to not stand right there and await reaction (besides, standing still was not her thing), the girl hopped over some rows of flustered pansies to meet the fellow halfway.
<br><br>
Giving a bright smile and blinking up at the guy, she cooed, "Hey, gorgeous out, ain't it?" With one hand, she absently referred to either the sky or the glade, depending on one's perspective. Timidly she glanced down at the camera in his hands, curiously wondering what kind of pictures he took. Maybe he was some kind of wandering photographer guy, who took awesome sepia prints and was famous or something. Overactive imagination at work.

Seth was taking pictures of the amazing sites of the Glades when a girl, just somewhat shorter than him had ran up to him and asked him how the day was.

"Oh hi, yeah it's beautiful. I can't believe what amazing shots I'm getting. Anyway, I'm Seth, what's your name?", Seth inquired at the energetic girl.

And then there was a response. Yay, not one of those anti-social creeps. Sa-weet. As if her outward happiness could get lighter, it appeared to intensify when he agreed with her, this Seth guy. Seth--make a note. Tall, blonde, has a camera, kind of cute. Check! Not being completely shy with her observations, Nikki was intrigued by his want to continue the conversation, unlike some.
<br><br>
"Nikki," the girl chirped, outstretching a lithe hand to shake (or kiss--hell, he could be a casanova--a girl can dream). Eiher way the greeting ended, she most certainly planned on continuing with, "It is! About time that snow went away for a while, right?"
<br><br>
He mentioned shots and her ears perked. Maybe he is this dreamy phtographer or somethin'! Tilting her head curiously, making her pigtails fall across her shoulders horizontally, Nikki shot a question innocently enough.
<br><br>
"Oh, so you like photography, too? That's cooool. I left my camera back at home," wherever home was, "But I wish I had it. This is like, the perfect time for pictures." She nodded knowingly even if she was just a novice photographer.

"Nikki huh? That's a pretty name.", Seth added as he smiled at her when he shook her hand. "Yeah, I do like taking pictures, but I'm not exactly a professional. I just do this for fun mostly. I'm actually trying to build up a farm down by Agate Acres, if you can believe that.", Seth said with a little laugh.

"It really is a good time for pictures. The landscape is so perfect. Too bad you left your camera, I'm sure you'd be able to take some really good photographs.", he said staring out at the clouds.

Dahaha he said it was pretty. Letting out a sqeuak of laughter, her cheeks got a tinge rosier. "Heh, thanks. I lucked out on that one, I guess!" Since, of course, she couldn't really pick her name when she came flying out of the womb. Nicole was the real deal, but hey, modifications always seemed better.
<br><br>
Seth told her he was no professional photographer, so that assumption was out. And when he said he farmed for a living (or would), that really threw her for a loop. And he's not some burly hick smelling of cow manure? Even better. Looking him over again, she detected some hint of musculature under his clothes and appreciated it. Add to mental note--strong, hard worker.
<br><br>
"Yeah, I do it for fun, too. I don't think I'm all that good, but enh." Nikki shrugged, thinking of her somewhat blurred, flash ruined droves of photos, with a couple of decent ones that seemed nice enough. "Oh well, though. Least I've got a killer memory, so next time I come here, I'll be sure to bring it." Round eyes sweeping the camera in Seth's hand once more, the girl perked her head and leaned forward in the tiniest way.
<br><br>
"Speakin' of which," She noticed this camera was one of those fancy shmancy digital ones, where the photos you take would pop up on a screen, unlike her film based camera. "Could I maybe take a peek at your pics? Promise not to jack it." She gave a sugarcoated grin and sweetly asked this, curious as anything to see just what he took pictures of.

Nikki just asked to see his camera. Seth usually didn't like to show his work, since he thought it was amatuer at best. But, he decided he had nothing to lose in showing them. "Sure, go ahead. I'll warn you though, they aren't very good.", he added handing over his digital camera.

Taking the camera out of his hands gently with enthusiasm, she puffed out a "Thank ya'!" before pulling the device close, fiddling with its many buttons until she arrived at the viewing screen. She scrolled through them while rocking on her heels slowly, the camera making a little beep with each passing photo. Tree, bird, bird, flower. House, field, some dude…
<br><br>
"No need to be so modest!" Nikki piped, looking up from the screen with her ovular eyes of hazel. "These aren't half bad--heck, they're better than most of mine, actually." Truthful words, for she barely knew how to adjust the flash on her camera, let alone zoom or start the timer (if she had one).
<br><br>
Reaching the end of the pictures, one of the frosted pansies of the glade, Nikki made a move to return the camera… theeen thought of something better. Flipping the camera up to her eye with a mischevious grin, Nikki said, "Smile~" just before the camera snapwhiirrred! and took a surprise photo of Seth's face. After it took, Nikki flipped to the view back screen and giggled at the picture girlishly.
<br><br>
"Veeery photogenic, Seth."

Seth thought he was just getting his camera back, but nope, at the very last second Nikki flipped it and took a picture spontaneously. He rubbed his eyes as he thought of the photo, he probably looked startled and stupid it in it.

"Heeey. No catching me off guard like that.", Seth said in a haha, she got me tone.

Giving a satisfied, glorious smile, Nikki's thumb danced over the buttons of the camera with ease. Trashcan, am I sure? Yes. The camera let out a little tweeep and the image was gone. Before Seth could see it. Putting on a surprised face, false, of course, and turning her mouth into an O, Nikki gasped lightly.
<br><br>
"Oh nooo, it seems I deleted that wonderful picture," she said, putting her hand to her face as a damsel in distress would. "Darn it all… Well, I guess I'm the only one who'll ever see that picture!" Insert blatant, evil, adorable giggle here.
<br><br>
After the fit subsided, Nikki thrust the camera back into Seth's hands, smirking and assuring him, "Sorry; just could not resist it." Sometimes I can be just oh so eeeevil. Flipping one pigtail over her shoulder, Nikki was already liking this day more. Sunshine, warm, cameras, guy. Yaaay.

After recieving the camera back, Seth scanned his album. Nope, there was no surprised him in there. Although he was curious, he didn't exactly care a photo of him being startled and stupified was deleted.

"Nah, that's ok. I'd rather not have a picture of me going looking crazy in my photo album.", he said smiling down at his camera and flipping through his album.

Nodding her head and snorting, Nikki responded, "Not a problem. T'was my pleasure." Shrugging and snorting again, Nikki swirled and walked over to a patch of bluebonnets on the side of the path as if inspecting them for wellness. Kicking some snow away from the bed, Nikki scoffed and came up with another idea.
<br><br>
Bolting up straight and turning towards Seth with a finger outstretched, she stated, "Hey!" in that, Woah I've got an idea voice. "The next time we see each other, we should most definitely compare photos--better yet!" She paused, stroked her chin with her once pointing finger in happy thought.
<br><br>
"Next time, we'll swap some pics, y'know, to vary our collections or something. Sound like a plan?" The idea was completely spawned out of nowhere at all, a mere suggestion brought about by their similar interests.
<br><br>
Wagging a teasing finger, Nikki winked and smirked devilishly. "So you had better take some nice pictures for me!" With that, she twirled again, skipped down the path a few paces, then turned towards him again. "Because we will meet again, Seth, y'hear?"

The idea was pretty good. Seth was interested in seeing some of her work too, so why not swap some photos?

"Ok, sure.", he said also taking a turning around and he started on his way down another path, not knowing where it would take him.
