Shen clenched an almost empty bottle of wine in her hand, she used it sparingly and managed to survive a few days with just one bottle, though hope quickly ran out for her. She took the last sip by hovering the bottle over her mouth, savoring the flavor before it was completely gone... Until she got a new one that was. The alcoholic pouted as she held the bottle close, glancing at Ao. "Don'tbeaworrywart~" Shen cooed, her speech rather slurred from drinking the rest of that bottle. "We'llbefine! Trusht me."

 li looked at the drunken mess that he called a friend and sighed as he wiped his brow. She wasn't the best at overcoming addictions but he was glad to see she could ration what little booze they had, thought it worried him how much damage she would do when they ran out, judging from the punch to the gut she gave him last time he refused her alcohol he was expecting to be beaten to a bloody pulp until she was calm enough not to hurt anyone else. He was hoping to get some practice in the earth bending styles but the desert ahead made him think that the only thing he would be practicing his looking for water.

"you know we could use those drinks to keep ourselves alive, the are more than just something you like, maybe we could all have some?" he said to shen before putting his hands up and taking afew steps back.

"of course that's if it's okay with you, I don't really like booze anyway" he said hoping not to get on her back side. She was much stronger than him, despite his intense training, he began training with her to try to hone his skill to be more powerful than her, but had failed to come close since.
