Tabitha jumped back, a jet of mist erupting before her, a spooked school of fish scattering underfoot. The sudden ejection reflected in her brown eyes, the rush of water droplets dispersing into the air. The pink haired girl stood in an alley (Nymph behind her). At their sides, more such jets exploded forth.

"Mist Geysers. Guess that explains the mist. These things must be scattered all over the city, but I wonder why they are active now. I don't recall seeing any such things yesterday."

She looked down a side alley, spying more Mist Geysers and something red (a Red Water Morph to be more precise) walk across. More gushes of mist sounded (the alley the girls stood in quite crowded with Mist Geysers).

"Follow my lead," Tabitha spoke to Nymph, her brown eyes watching the repetitive bursts. She knew the pattern, her Curiosity skill ensured that she did. Taking Nymph's hand, she pulled the water formed girl after her. Weaving from side to side, dashing past geysers during their rest period, the duo progressed forward.

Smiling, Tabitha turned to Nymph (a few Mist Geysers still around them). Nymph panted a bit (clearly winded from the burst of activity) but managed a slight giggle. Behind her, a Mist Geyser bellowed, giving her a burst of newfound energy as she leapt up into Tabitha's arms.

"You do know I have no plans to be carrying you, right?" The pink haired girl sweatdropped (her brown eyes on her shivering friend).
