There weren't any more guards near them which was probably a good thing, so hopefully they'd be able to skip town. If they got stopped again, she figured that the odds of the same thing working out as before would be slim, and she did not want to risk things at all. [color=10DC67]"Also, I've never been the best at lying, so usually I avoid that by just not saying a lot if I wasn't asked... Kind of the reason I chose to stay quiet..."[/color] [color=9C3E28]"I had not expected others to basically repeat what I said... As for that comment of yours,"[/color] Ryuu responded, turning to look at Yumiko. [color=9C3E28]"I take great offense to it, as usually that would be the sort of thinking that my brother has. You best learn that not everyone is alike, otherwise you might end up getting yourself killed."[/color] [color=10DC67]"It doesn't matter now does it? What really matters is getting out of here before they notice... And I usually can see about making any sort of shelter with what I've got... After the attacks on the Air Temples and after I got separated from the few Air Nomads who had escaped well... I learned how to deal with the few things I had and make a shelter with just about anything that I had with me, even without using my bending since I knew that would draw attention to me... I probably could be of some help with that..."[/color] Hikaru said softly, looking at the other 4 who were there. Ryuu nodded his head, as part of his training he actually knew how to build a decent shelter if the need arose, so hopefully they wouldn't have to worry about anything. [color=9C3E28]"If we are lucky, then perhaps we won't have to worry about any rain tonight, but later on we just might. If I remember this part of the Earth Kingdom correctly... Then there is a small town only perhaps a day or two walk from here, and maybe there we might be able to rid ourselves of any sort of suspicion relating to the Fire Nation Prison. Especially since it might take some time for them to mobilize any units to get word to any Fire Nation soldiers to be on the lookout for us. If we are lucky, we should be able to reach there by tomorrow afternoon. It depends on how quickly we get moving, and how quickly we rise in the morning, since I doubt any of us would be happy with the idea of not stopping without some rest,"[/color] he said, before he headed out of the village. Hikaru followed after him, and they would start along the road that would take them hopefully to the next town over. However, she knew that if they wanted to avoid detection of any sort, they'd have to leave the road once they were out of sight from the village. Otherwise, anyone they met would surely ask them questions. Though if they crossed in the fields and such while the village was still in view, that likely would raise questions too. She might not really be one for traveling this way, but she did take up the life of a thief, she knew a few ways that might result in them not being caught.
