[quote=@Dusty][color=f7941d]“You’re helping break someone out! Who in their right mind would try a prison break in daylight, in the middle of Ba Sing Se? You’ve got nowhere to run, you’re surrounded by walls. You’ll be helping your friends escape only to surely get recaptured. And worst of all AN controls the city, and it’s not like he takes kindly to those of us from Fire.”[/color]

	[color=f7941d]“Sorry,” [/color]she whispered, keeping her voice low as if to make up for the earlier proclamation. At least they were running along a seemingly deserted avenue. [color=f7941d]“I shouldn’t have said that, but I promise my lips are sealed. I'm no friend of An or the Earth Kingdom.”

Zhen blinked, eyebrows climbing. That... hadn't been a reaction he'd expected. [color=#ED1111]"Not... necessarily. I had intended to get a read on the situation first, though you're right in that the risks of involving myself could very well outweigh the benefits. I'm not looking for anyone specifically, but..."[/color] Well, she was Fire. And from the look in her eyes at that last, he very much doubted she was a turncoat for An. Still, he thought, double-checking for guards with a careful side-to-side of his eyes, best keep his voice low. [color=#ED1111]"An assassinated the last Avatar, but it's been twenty years; if he had the new one, he'd have made a big deal of it by now. He's a very... straightforward sort of man, from everything I've heard of him. But by the same token he's not just going to give up - so he has to be looking, still, and that means he needs information. Which means he needs people to get information [i]from[/i], and it's most likely that the ones he thinks are his best shot? Are being kept right where he can keep an eye on them."[/color] 

He grimaced. Thin reasoning, faith over basic logic, had always irritated him. Ironic.

[color=#ED1111]"It's a stretch at best, I'm aware, but it's not like I've got any other options. My best plan before the bell was to wander around and hope I came across a likely-looking rumour. And at the very least, if there [i]is[/i] a decent shot at a successful escape, a flame burns brighter with more fuel; finding a group I can be assured oppose An as much as I do isn't something to scoff at, even by itself."[/color]

Shrugging, he slowed his pace slightly. There was a distinct clamour rising above the general (slightly panicked) city noise and the bell's strident resonance.

[color=#ED1111]"I think this is it."[/color]
