Nyima looked at her brother, hurt matching his own showed in her eyes. She didn't want to have to say that to him. But it was true, her home was in Republic City now. She had had very little interest in returning home, refusing whenever Rayn had offered. Although, that could be more fear of what would happen with her family. Zhou had seemed so intent on taking her home, that she could imagine her parents not allowing her to leave if she stepped into the Water Tribe's walls. She was about to say something when Mizuki began to talk. She shook her head, "It is fine... I don't know who you are... Or I didn't."

She was slightly thankful for the girl, telling her brother she was in good hands. Maybe, that would help him deal with the fact that she was not going home with him. However, she was slightly disappointed when he looked at Rayn, of course the girl was speaking about Rayn and he had been the reason she wasn't found dead in a ditch few days a few days after she arrived. But she wasn't in his hands anymore, as weird as that sounded, she could and did take care of herself. She looked at Mizuki again when he asked her a similar question to her brother's, "Three years. I came here straight after I ran away and Rayn found me soon after..."

Nyima looked up at Zhou, "I've just about mastered waterbending.... Healing [I]and[/I] fighting. Rayn says I've gotten really good at hand to hand combat... but I can't beat him yet... yet," she glanced at Rayn and smirked, "I've been doing good though... I'm healthy, happy, not married. I'm well......." she fell silent for a moment before she pulled her brother into another hug, "I'm sorry... That I don't want to go back..." she rose to her toes and kissed his cheek, "How is everyone back home?... Other than not even speaking about me...."

Zenji nodded her head and looked at the door as he opened it. Her eyes widened slightly when the White Lotus walked in. Things suddenly piled into her head at once, sixteen, firebender, White Lotus. She looked at Masuto, was he the Avatar? He seemed to not come to the same conclusion as he asked the group what they were doing here. In doing so, he mentioned the attack on the Air Temple. Her heart tightened as she swallowed. She looked down at the couch, trying to calm herself. This would be a big moment for him and her getting upset about what had happened, wasn't going to help at all. She took a deep breath and blinked away the tears. She looked back up at the White Lotus and then to Masuto. She noticed his mother tearing up and Aki comforting her, it seemed they had put two and two together as well. She walked over to Masuto and watched the White Lotus, "Air, water, earth..." her eyes fell onto Masuto, "Fire...."
