As the young man approached the town, his stomach rumbled quietly. Nikko sighed to himself as he walked on and made a mental note to get some food. The apples that he had in his pack were fine, but he wanted to eat something else. His mouth began to drool as he thought about all of the different kinds of foods that might be available. It might have been a small town, but that didn't mean that it couldn't have amazing and unique food. He had always wanted to try Fire Nation food, as well as Air Nomad food, but he knew that it would be quite a while before the latter would become available. He had no idea what the nomadic people used to eat, but he assumed that it was great food nonetheless.

Lost in his musings, Nikko didn't notice that he was walking towards a young woman who seemed about his age. He continued to walk and think of food before running into her. As soon as he made contact, he took a couple quick steps back and looked around him, wondering where he was now and what he just ran into. His eyes landed on the woman before him. "Uh, sorry about that!" He said to her with a smile as he looked around.
