"I'd say you're no later than any of the rest of us." Sonam replied with a dry tone, looking back down at the now quite-cool tea she still idly stirred with currents of air moved by her fingertip. She had studied the bender as he entered. He was nervous, not likely to be a threat in case of any traps. Though, she was slowly contenting herself to believe she had come to the right place and that the letter received by Master Hua had been sincere. She forced some of her own military experiences back and focused more on her most recent knowledge and her instinct that she was where she was meant to be. Her suspicion and guard remained, though they were somewhat lessened. Those facts did [i]not[/i], however, change her cool tone or stiff, rather frozen demeanor. 

Pale, bright blue eyes starkly contrasted with tan skin and almost-black red hair when they flicked back up to look at the other men and the new arrival. Sonam at last opted to relocate the crossed Dao from her back to the back of her chair, still well within reach if it became necessary, opting for less flare in doing so than the earth bender beside her had shown when he put his own weapons to rest. Sliding her teacup just out of the way, she rested her forearms on the table before her. No one else was speaking as they waited for their host and she eyed them all. Men. She was the only female in sight. At least, the only conscious female in sight, she noted glancing over the one that looked like she might be slowly regaining her senses. Drugged perhaps? Incapacitated some how, regardless, Sonam was sure. Peg that for a point out of favor with whoever was running this end of the Jasmine Dragon- if it really was them, though instinct told her a trap was unlikely at that particular moment. Fingers tapping a light rhythm on the tabletop, she spoke again. Her voice was still cool and somewhat dry, "Is it safe to assume you all are here, like myself, because a letter reached you or your people recently? We may as well find out who we are and if we're all on the same page while we wait on our host. It certainly wouldn't hurt anything."
