[color=9f9f9f]Even with their ability to earthbend, walking through the windwhipped desert wasn't exactly pleasant. There was only so much even they could do to make the journey easier, juiced up bending or not. There wasn't much to talk about along the way, especially when one of them wasn't even capable of speaking.

Especially when, as the hours wore on, Chae-Won saw Weiyuan refuse to rest. Resting would mean most likely his other personality taking over again. A personality that had no idea what was going on and, in his mind, that lacked the fortitude to deal with their current situation.

Chae-Won didn't like to admit it, but she was thankful the current Weiyuan was sticking around. She was still anxious about confronting the other one with how things had left off between them. What was worse, this was a very bad time to try and resolve things. There was so much to try and explain.

Once arriving at their first destination, CHae-Won immediately got to work. There was only so much she could do, but after eyeing the vehicles, she at least came up with one thing to keep her busy: make sure she and Weiyuan were placed on the Kyoshi. She was not having it all go to shit now just because they got put on a rustbucket that was about to have its wheels fall off in the middle of the desert.

When fate didn't go their way, some careful manipulating got things back on track for them.

It was not easy, consdiering she had very little to work with, but she made it happen. 

[color=white]"OK, kid. Looks like we got a few people starting to group up. Might be stuck with them for a bit. Wanna go say hi?"
[/color]

Weiyuan looked over at the Kyoshi and the people begginning to group up around it, and then back at Chae-Won with a stern scowl. Part of him wondered if she'd known who else was assigned to the Kyoshi when she'd been so adamant about them riding on it. There was no denying it was the superior choice, but still...

Chae-Won put a pleasant smile on her face, ignoring the pointed look coming from Weiyuan's baggy eyes, and marched over to the vehicle with him trudging along after her.

[color=white]"Hey there!"[/color] she greeted the two women who'd gotten there before them. [color=white]"Looks like we're riding with you!"[/color] She gave a somehwat nervous laugh, trying to pass it off as her just being friendly. Her facade was crumbling, and the longer she stood near the two the faster it fell apart. [color=white]"S-so, uhhh, who are you? I-I mean I'm Chae-Won, your names are...?"[/color]

They would all hear the sound of Weiyuan's palm smacking against his face in second-hand embarassment. He just stared at her tiredly, simultaneously wishing he could form the words to yell at her and yet happy he had an excuse to stay out of it.

[color=white]"Oh right! Um, this is my friend Weiyuan! He's also, uhh, gonna ride in the car. Truck? Wh-what would you call it? Ahahaha..."[/color] She regularly worked for people who would kill her if she breathed wrong. Why was [i]this[/i] so hard!? She was pretty sure she was older than them and everything!

Weiyuan didn't even spare the other two a glance as he continued to just stare at Chae-Won in a mixture of disblief and disappointment. Finally he just pinched the bridge of his nose, massaging his tired eyes and shook his head.

Chae-Won grimaced at that, glancing back at the two women, [color=white]"OK fine! I'm sorry! I totally know who you two are, I just didn't wanna be that person right now!"[/color] she blurted out her shameful admission, face flushed not just from the sun and heat at this point. [color=white]"Uhh... b-but we really are on the same ride... so... umm...  yeah."[/color]

Weiyuan, feeling a little bad at this point, nodded that Chae-Won was telling the truth, finally fully acknowledging Kanna and Chu Hua.

[color=white]"Oh yeah, and Weiyuan can't talk, so don't think he'd being rude or anything."[/color] Funnily enough, talking about the kid suddenly had her talking calm and steady again. Again Weiyuan nodded.

In that moment of clarity, Chae-Won noticed the other guy wandering around the modded Kyoshi. He didn't seem like another passenger. One of the drivers, perhaps? Well considering the sate of the other vehicles, it wasn't so hard to believe he'd be curious about something so much nicer. That said, she couldn't quite let her guard all the way down. Anything that might threaten their way out was going to stay firmly on her radar.
