At the mention of the escaped prisoners, Jia Li took a step backwards, as if hiding behind her "husband." She knew gender norms and that women were expected to be protected by the men in their lives. Hopefully, this would help to sell the deal a little bit more. What rogue Fire Nation prisoner would hide behind a man and gasp at the notion of an escape, after all? [color=ff0000]"I should hope we don't run into them - I wouldn't want to see those brutes,"[/color] Jia Li said softly. 

	However, just as it seemed they were in the clear, the guard who had elbowed her in the face walked up to Yumiko. She knew that answering for Yumiko would just bring suspicion - something the people in this group excelled at. At least people had stopped just parroting the same statement over and over again. They'd really need to work on their lies at this rate if they were going to survive. They risked exposing the White Lotus if they couldn't significantly spread falsehoods as well. However, there was one thing that Jia Li knew she could do in order to get the heat off of Yumiko. 

	People hated public displays of affection. It made them uncomfortable. And so, she pulled Ryuu in for a passionate kiss.
