	Takuma gave Rila a smile, before he walked over to a desk of sorts and took a pouch out of a drawer. "This should be more than enough to aid you to get to Tachi Dai... Maybe even a bit more than that, it likely will be good to have and help you on your way, and beyond," he said, handing it to Rila. Felt like the pouch had quite a bit of money in it, so it should last them a while if they don't lose it.

	[color=10DC67]"Okay..."[/color] Hikaru said, nodding her head at what Rila had said to her. It was a bit reassuring, though they all probably should be looking after each other if they were going to be traveling together for some distance. The city of Tachi Dai wasn't a short trek down the road, it was going to be quite some distance along. Not to mention that they had to worry about getting out of the village without being caught by the Fire Nation. [color=10DC67]"Thank you for your help Takuma... and call me Ruka, it is the name that I used before I got arrested..."[/color] she said towards the others.

	[color=9C3E28]"Yes, thank you... Now, hopefully we can get out of here without causing any problems,"[/color] Ryuu said, heading for the door now. He peeked out the window, and luckily, there wasn't any Fire Nation soldiers near them, it looked fairly calm outside at the moment, so this was their window of opportunity at the moment, and they'd have to go or wait for who knew how long and risk discovery. [color=9C3E28]'I suggest we go now before the Fire Nation comes knocking at our door. And I don't need a new name, I can just use my brother's in a pinch."[/color]

	Hikaru nodded her head, glancing over at the others, figuring that they probably would want to get going as well. She really wish that she had her glider, but that was long gone by now. All they could do was move as quickly as possible to get out of there. Though it was going to be a bit slow for them, since two of them had leg injuries that could cause some problems, but with her leg bandaged up, she was willing to hurry as quickly as possible to see what happened.

	[color=9C3E28]"Let's go,"[/color] he said as he opened the door quickly and quietly, and headed outside. There was still no sign of the Fire Nation soldiers, and he motioned for the others to follow him as he headed along down the street. Hikaru followed after him quietly, not sure what the others would do, or if they would even follow. She was still limping slightly, her broken leg causing some problems for her as she followed along.
