Nyima nodded when he spoke, explaining what could and would happen. She glanced at her room, she should have a pair of gloves from her old clothes. She'd dig them out and put them into her bag for the evening. She looked back at Rayn and smiled, "Well, then we'll pick a place in the morning and meet when we are done work."

She sped up eating, wanting to find her gloves before she left for work. Finishing up, she stood and brought her dish to the sink and washed it. She was quiet for a moment before she spoke again, "So, the docks tonight. If there are more gangs down there... There might be a few Airbenders hanging around with the same ill intentions."

She smiled at him, "Maybe having a meek girl with you to help lure out the 'bad guys' will make you job a little easier," She looked over him, her eyes finding a few scars here and there, "And maybe you won't get a bloodied."

She dried and put her dish away before she walked into her room. After a little bit of searching, she found her gloves and put them into her bag. She glanced at Rayn, "You really aren't happy about this arrangement... are you?"

She looked back at Rayn and smiled, "Well, then we'll pick a place in the morning and meet when we are done work."

He nodded as that was what he was thinking as well. It was the only way to make sure they don't create a pattern.

She Finished up,then she stood and brought her dish to the sink and washed it. She was quiet for a moment before she spoke again, "So, the docks tonight. If there are more gangs down there... There might be a few Airbenders hanging around with the same ill intentions."

"Usually are with some sneaking on ships and getting off at night. And it's a good please to prey on outsiders.

She smiled at him, "Maybe having a meek girl with you to help lure out the 'bad guys' will make you job a little easier," 'or harder' he thought to himself as She looked over him, "And maybe you won't get a bloodied."

" You are not trying enough if you don't put sweat and blood into it."

She dried and put her dish away before she walked into her room. After a little bit of searching, she put gloves into her bag before looking out of her room at Rayn, "You really aren't happy about this arrangement... are you?"

He sighed as he finished his food and walked to the sink. " Of course I don't like it. While you are living with me it's my duty to protect you as you get used to the city. Throwing you out their as 'bait' or fighting against hardend criminals with only a few months training is more the opposite of what I'm supposed to do. "

He washed his dishes and dried them. "But if you gunna go out alone it's better to make sure your safe next to me." Putting the dishes away cabnet.

Nyima walked out of her room and pulled her bag over her shoulder. She shook her head a little, "They aren't going to be expecting me to fight back and they surely aren't going to expect you to show up... Besides, it doesn't matter how many months you train me, letting me win is only going to teach me so much," She looked at him, "And if I get hurt... Well... You are not trying enough if you don't put sweat and blood into it."

She smiled softly and grabbed her coat, "I'll see you at the docks..." She left the apartment then and headed out to work.

Work had been boring. Normally, her and Matsen would talk in round about ways about the Rogue Benders, laughing at the ways they put what they were doing while sounding completely innocent. Today, he didn't speak a word about it, not even discretely. It seemed that Rayn really had him spooked. So, they spent most of the day working on waterbending and helping people at the stall when they were needed. Soon it was quitting time and she waved goodbye to her teacher and his mother. She wrapped her coat around herself and pulled on her gloves as she made her way to the docks. She checked to make sure her pouch was full before she found a box a short ways from where she arrived on her first night. She pulled herself on top of it and sat, waiting for Rayn.

Nyima walked out of her room and pulled her bag over her shoulder. She shook her head a little, "They aren't going to be expecting me to fight back and they surely aren't going to expect you to show up... Besides, it doesn't matter how many months you train me, letting me win is only going to teach me so much," She looked at him, "And if I get hurt... Well... You are not trying enough if you don't put sweat and blood into it."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at her as she smiled softly and grabbed her coat, "I'll see you at the docks..." as she left the apartment. He grunted as he went to his room to get ready, then head to work. the work was mostly paper work, as he had to 'edit' some busts he did and make sure his butt was covered. He had training as well for the new batch of recruits, mostly to find out if they were good enough for the Metal bending. But afterwards he changed before making his way towards the docks. He soon found her siting on a box a short ways from where they met. During this day he thought about scaring her, attacking her while covering his identity. to dissuade her from choosing to be a Rouge bender, But he decided against it. it might just add to her trauma from that first night. But he did wear all black still and a mask. He slowly came up to her from her left, using the sounds of the docks to hide his movement and sounds as he stepped on the docks. until he was 10 feet away from her.

"You still want to do this then?" He asked bluntly to see how she would react.

Nyima sat waiting playing with her gloves as she spotted someone walking toward her. She ignored it at first, till she recognized that gait. It seemed that Rayn was attempting to sneak up on her. She paid him no attention till he spoke. She merely hoped off her box and walked over to him, "I am."

She grabbed her scarf out of her bag, wrapping it around and her neck. She left it loose to pull up over her lower face if necessary. She looked him up and down, analyzing his attire. She thought that he wouldn't exactly be able to explain himself if he ever got caught. However, she figured he never intended on getting caught. She nodded her head and patted her hands against her legs once, "I do," she looked at him for a moment, holding his gaze, "You aren't going to convince me otherwise by denigrating me... So... please... stop with the sneering. Your unwillingness to make this work isn't going to make this work and this not working isn't going to change my mind...." She pleaded him softly with her eyes, "Please, don't be mad at me..."

"I do," she looked at him for a moment, holding his gaze, "You aren't going to convince me otherwise by denigrating me... So... please... stop with the sneering. Your unwillingness to make this work isn't going to make this work and this not working isn't going to change my mind...." She pleaded him softly with her eyes, "Please, don't be mad at me..."

He watched her for a moment before turning away, "I wasn't sneering." HE glanced back and said, "When my hand is forced I'm not going to be happy about it. Specially when you could get killed." He walked into the shadows. "Just be careful will ya? It's going to be double hard to cover your butt as well as mine. Remember this.... this life isn't as fun as you think it as...as you already have been finding out. We will have to kill these people so we don't get pointed out. You cant hesitate or your dead. Can you do that?" as he walked behind a wall and started to climb a drain pipe to get a better position to drop down on them.

"Yes," Nyima said curtly. She didn't have much reason to be mad at him. She had forced his hand in the situation. She held her bag close to her as she turned away from him, not to feel the need to watch him scale the building. She walked along the road below him and looked around, trying to play off being scared. It was funny after the five months of being in Republic City and living with Rayn, after all that happened here, she wasn't scared. Not much happened until the sun started to go down and everyone had fled to more lit areas of the city. She heard a snicker behind her that sent a shiver down her spine. She knew it wasn't the people from her first night, Rayn had dealt with them but this brought back enough memories. The group was smaller than the one of the first night but after a quick spin, looking into all of there faces, she noted to herself that there were no Airbenders among the group. When the first man ran at her, she moved close enough to the other two that when she pulled him over her shoulder, she managed to throw him into the standing members of the attack.

She brushed herself off and looked down at them, waiting for them to stand up. She didn't want to fight them, that wasn't the reason they had come down here. However, she didn't need them being angry at her and stalking her along the docks, waiting to attack again.
