It came when Nilak appeared unharmed amidst the rubble and dust, but it disappeared as the White Lotus earthbender took a hold of his shoulder. Her skin crawled at the implications that simple gesture could hold and she had to hold herself back from retreating into a place where no one could find her. Oh, if only it was possible! Fumiko was anxiously waiting for Nilak to climb up and escape with her, only fervent whisperings of ‘hurry!’ passing her lips, too afraid to gain the attention of the Dai Li. She watched him waterbend, making space so he had a place to stand, entirely ignoring the earthbender and his words. The moment Nilak found himself atop the roof, Fumiko began to move alongside him, heeding his words. She slightly lagged behind Nilak, cursing his long legs and cursing her own short ones. It was when she deemed that they were far enough to be overheard did she speak. [color=f26522]“We need to hide.”[/color] If she could, she would roll her eyes right now. Unfortunately, she needed immense concentration upon doing feats of parkour that relied not only on her body but also with her eyes. [color=f26522]“We can’t afford to go to places we frequent. Our families might take the fall if they shelter us.”[/color] Fumiko breathed in to catch her breath. Talking was difficult when she was running for her life. [color=f26522]“We need to lose them, too, if they’re following us. The only place I can think of that’s near here is the earthbending arena. Underground, quiet, lots of people in the entrance. Opinions?”[/color] [/indent][/indent]
