It was incredible to him how different life was outside of the Lower Ring. The stench he'd grown accustomed to for most of his life had been replaced with varying aromas of food and herbs from the market stalls and homes in and around the city, and the walls and buildings were so much brighter, it almost made his eyes hurt. Yet even with the increase in security within Ba Sing Se and the overall peaceful aura about the place, Tai couldn't help but to tense up. The calmness of it all was... unnerving, almost. As the group of benders and non benders moved through the city, he would constantly turn his head to look over his shoulder, the back straps of his rucksack dragging on the ground as he held it by his side.

Tai hesitated at first once they reached the boat, gritting his teeth at the very thought of the trip ahead. With a subtle sigh, he threw his bag over his shoulders and stepped across the plank, finding a spot of his own on the ground, against one of the stacks of crates piled near the middle of the ship. Just as soon as he'd gone to open up his bag, from out of the corner of his eye, a blur of brown and green quickly fell to the floor with a winded [color=olive]"Oof!"[/color]. The noise caused him to look over, only to witness Terra having landed flat on her face from the sudden shifting of the boat, her face flushing as Lee helped her to her feet. He fought against the urge to make a face at the two, looking down at his lap as he flipped open one of his books, the cover hidden behind his legs.

As the boat rocked and creaked through the ocean waters, Tai found himself placing a hand to his mouth, nausea suddenly hitting him like a brick. Just several feet from him, it sounded as though Terra, Ling, and Lee had gotten into something of a spat, though he hadn't been paying attention long enough to determine the cause of said spat. Meanwhile, the waterbender of the group had paced off towards the edge of the ship in a huff, Lahe, the airbender, had wandered away to the head of the ship, and Feng... wait, did Feng get on the ship at all? As the boat continued to sway, Tai pulled his knees closed to him with a muffled groan, his skin going from pale to green as he glared out of annoyance into the pages of his book.[/center]
