Nyima kicked him again when he teased about her foot twitching, "Funny. I think it is working just fine."

When he lectured her again about just saying something to him, she shook her head, "You didn't give me a chance to recover before you were at his throat. I was still freaking out about him being there and then when you were fighting him, I couldn't exactly say, hey stop. He could have recognized my voice and... Then we'd be in big trouble. Besides, lecturing me isn't going to change anything."

When he mention finding a healer, she nodded, "Matsen's mom... She won't ask questions, deals with Matsen after all."

They spoke for a bit longer as Nyima lay on the bed. She didn't remember falling asleep, but the next day, she woke on her bed. She assumed that Rayn carried her in there the night before. She felt better, whatever blood she had lost seemed to be coursing through her veins again. She held her arm to her body as she climbed out of her bed. She struggled slightly as she changed into clean clothes and walked into her living room. Rayn was still sleeping, so she walked to her kitchen quietly. She made the two of the some tea and pursed her lips. She walked over to the sink and let it run. She managed to bend the water out of the stream but it was difficult. She sighed and dropped it back into the sink, she wouldn't be able to heal herself.

Zenji was dress in more common fire nation attire. A gray jacket, a red scarf, pants and boots. Her hair was tucked up and under a hat as she walked to the house that Masuto had spoken about the other day. It was strange, going to the birthday party of a boy that she just met but she had told him she would be there. She had to hold to that, especially after all that he did for her the day before.

A small group of four men walked down the streets of Republic city rather calmly, despite everything that had been going on recently. All four of them wore traditional looking blue and white robes, with a flower-like collar around their neck. It was obvious to everyone that they were the white lotus, but their reasons for being out in public were unknown to everyone but themselves. Each of them all different in appearance, with different skin, hair and eye colors, All four of them had their eyes set on an intersection that would bring them to where they needed to be.

Sitting at a small coffee shop, Li sat at one of the outdoor tables in her common disguise and watched as the white lotus walked by her. She wondered what they could possibly want, and it didn't take long for her to realize what was going on. Quickly getting up, Li left the shop with some money on the table and disappeared from anyone's sight.If they were going to announce the new avatar, then she knew that she couldn't just burst in and take them all out. For all she knew, they were all masters of an element, and even if this new avatar wasn't familiar with three out of the four bending arts, the avatar is the strongest with his or her native element. She couldn't handle all of those people by herself, and she knew that well. She needed others to go with her to break up the gathering.

"Um.. Sir?" A voice called to her, belonging to the waitress that had served him. Li simply held a hand up and waved her away, not wanting to get off task by spending time talking to people.

Masuto woke up with a quick start, ready to start the day. He was now officially sixteen, and he couldn't wait for the party that was planned for him. It wasn't going to be anything big at all, as it was only a couple friends coming over to celebrate, along with the airbender that he had met the previous day. He hoped that she would be able to make it to the party, but it not, he understood completely
