Masuto wasn't sure about what to say, this was now the third person that was practically knocking on his door to help the avatar learn about the four elements, and now it was beginning to become quite the group. There was Zenji, Mizuki, Zhou, this new Han Li guy, and himself. The woman who had just offered to be his firebending teacher had suddenly just disappeared, so there was a new space. in all honesty, he didn't want to drag along any more people than was necessary on this journey, especially since he wanted to keep as low a profile as possible. 

He turned his attention to Zenji when she recommended leaving, and she was right. This new person seemed to quite the high and mighty character, and what what he was capable of, but he did seem quite the talker. Masuto didn't know how quiet he could be, and he wasn't even sure how he knew about him being the avatar since it was only revealed minutes ago. "I... Um..." He failed the first time to speak and took a short breath. "What element do you bend? Right now we're lacking in an earth bender, and it'll be the second element that I- the avatar needs to learn." He didn't know the first thing about this guy, and he had the right to be cautious. With Mizuki and Zhou it was different, since they had orders straight from the north to help him learn water bending, but this guy just walked up and asked for answers.

Masuto also didn't trust this man with who the new avatar is, and wanted to know a few things before he could get comfortable. The young fire bender looked to his teammates with a cautious expression and glanced over to Han Li. After a short moment of looking at them, he returned his attention to this new person who had asked to join their group. "Do you bend an element? As I said, our team just needs and earth bender now, and then we'll be all good to go."
