After a awkward moment of silence between the group as he could tell she didn't like the fact Nyima was there. She looked between the lotus and back at Rayn and spoke, "I've been sent to escort these gentlemen, that's all I can speak of in public....And around civilians," that's when she looked down at Nyima then forward, "You're more than welcome to follow along and see what's going on though."
Rayns eyes narrowed at her tone . As an officer he knew why but he looked down at Nyima. He quickly said " can't tell us but you will let us see it? You were always an interesting one Zhi..."
Before he could follow he felt Nyima squeeze his hand and say"Two o'clock... They aren't exactly stealthy..."
He glanced back casually and saw two people a man and woman. Nyima looked up at Rayn then back to the man, "I... I... I think that's Zhou...." He looked at her surprisingly. Zhou was her brother... He placed a comforting hand on her arm and asked " are you sure?"
The last thing he wanted was her to see someone look like her brother and not be him . It would be hard on her.
Zhou watched She locked her jaw as she gave herself time to reconstruct her composure. She smoothed out her clothing as she walked over closer to him. "I've told you before, Zhou.. Don't go there." He only smiled slightly, apparently calling her princess strikes a cord. He hasn't figure why yet though.
"I don't have time to just wait around anymore. I would rather be on my own... I work better that way." She offered him a lovely smile, belying her temper. "If you're so sure, why don't you strike out on your own? I'm a big girl. I can handle myself just fine. After all I know how to handle all the big bad bullies." As much as he wanted to he couldn't. Curse the morals his father instilled on him. He thought to himself jokingly.
."Look.. " She pointed down the street a bit then held the paper back up. "This is the same block as the address that I'm being sent to. Are those..." her eyes widened slightly. "White Lotus? We need to find out what's going on here." She grabbed his hand and pulled him along with her to a closer spot near the group, hiding them in a patch of shadow near a building side. Shaking his head as she did so. Apparently she wasn't angry anymore at him. But he felt he needed to say something anyways.
As they his in the shadows he whispered as he stood behind her, "I'm sure you could hold your own prin.... mizuki. But despite what you think this city is far more dangerous than the North kingdom. I couldn't leave you if I wanted to. If you were hurt I would feel responsible.... I don't want to see that." He watched as a man and woman walked up to the group and talked to the Lotus and another woman. It seemed short though when the group started to continue on. His eyes lingered on the girl who glanced back towards their direction and said something to the man.
As she looked back though he took a step closer.... No... It couldn't be. The woman looked back and stared directly at him. Her eyes wide and shining like he remembered. She said something again to the man she seemed very close with. As he touched her shoulder he could tell the man cared for her. He shook his head in disbelief and whispered. "Nyima?" Before taking a few steps and saying louder " Nyima? Is that you?! "
He felt a rush of relief that was so unexplainable wash through him, joy, sadness and anger at the same time as well. He gripped the necklace from the outside of his shirt and a big smile came to his face. He started to walk towards her.

She closed them tightly and sighed, "I spent... the entire way here thinking about never seeing them or my brother again... It isn't something I want... but I'm scared that... If I go back... or if I had stayed... If I got married like they wanted me to, I would end up resenting them."
He lowered his head as she spoke. Why was he trying to force wisdom down her at this time. She didn't need it she seemed to have her head somewhere on her shoulders. He glanced over as he a tear escape for her eye and dropped her chopstick, wiping it away. She sniffled a little, "I don't want to hate them for making choices for me... And I don't want to be in a marriage with no love. When I get married, I want it to be to the right person," she looked at him and smiled lightly, "But... you probably just think I'm a little kid... and I can't deny that... I ran away from home to a place I where I know nothing and no one and had to end up getting saved by some stranger..."
She shook her head, "I can't deny that at all..."
He nodded and said, you are right. You are a kid still. But a brave one I'll give you that and you admit it. You might be ahead of the game somewhere."
She looked at her nearly full bowl of noodles but had no interest in eating them, "You said something about a place to sleep?"
He smiled and pulled out some money and placed it in the old mans hand, thanking him for a meal. And asked him for room and board.
Rayn woke up and got out of bed. Scratching his head he remembered the previous night and the girl Nyima. He sighed and wondered what he was gunna do with her. It's not good for a innocent girl like that to be in the city alone.
He got dressed in his normal clothes and strapped his metal staff to his back. Having went to pick it up the night before after he left. He then made his way to a clothing store and bought some clothes for her. Being a good judge on sizes he felt comfortable doing so. He then finally made his way back to the shop and old an chan opened the door for him.
"Rayn sir glad to see you back. You off work today?" Chan asked.
He nodded and said, I took it off. Couldn't leave her all day. Besides" he picked up his bag of clothes. " I figured she could use a change of clothes." Chan nodded and pointed towards the stairs " don't know if she is awake yet, girl hit the bed asleep."
Rayn smiled and walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Placing the bag full of clothes on the ground and making his way back down stairs.

No I was refurring to the Um.... Human ronso sex thing *shudders*
Her voice faded away when he offered to teach her about the world she had been missing out on her. She smiled and nodded her head, "Yes... I would."
He nodded and took a bite of his food. He didn't want her to feel bad he had to realize she was young. Her next words confirmed it.
"I'm seventeen... and this is the first time I've ever been outside of the Northern Water Trobe, never been away from my parents... and they wanted to marry me off to a man who would keep me in the Water Tribe and I would never be away from him..." she looked at Rayn, "Would you have stayed? Prepared?"
He placed his chopsticks down and was silent for a moment before saying " I don't know. Possibly. " he looked at her and said "is this what you really want though? To possibly never see your parents again?" He looked her hard in the eyes. If it were him he'd give anything to see his parents once more.

Wow ....... Just wow
Rayn saw ahead of them a group of men walking. Before he could do anything she stopped suddenly. Grabbing his arm, she pulled him over to the wall. She really grabbed ahold of the idea as a couple for a cover by the horns. She leaned against the wall and pulled him close to her. Despite doing this only a day before he still shook his head at the smell of her perfume. She remained hidden and she watched the group ahead of them. She whispered to him, "White Lotus..."
He raised an eyebrow at the thought. For them to be out I the open In a group he knew it meant only one thing. Nyima figured it out and said it first.
She quickly looked at Rayn, smiling, "Do you think they've found the Avatar?" she looked at them from the corner of her eye. She sighed, "Look away..." He though about the Avatar, it would only bring a hinder to rouges. Before he could say anything she wrapped her arms around his neck and after a moment she groaned slightly and pulled Rayn close, kissing him. He was taken off guard by the kiss. She... The one who was uncomfortable the other day of being this close.... What ?
She pulled away and looked over his shoulder "About time," she murmured.
She ducked under his arm and moved to the corner. He was kind of in a state of shock still. Trying to think on what happened. Did this just happen? Was she the first to make the move? Course it was just for cover by the way she spoke...but he took a step back and remembered the first time he met her 3 years before. A scared young girl who he just rescued, shivering under the coat he put over her. Not confident in herself not knowing what to do.
He looked over at her and saw a strong woman who constantly kept him on his toes and was probably as strong willed as him. He shook his head as he watched her peeked around the corner, "Should we check it out... It could actually be the Avatar..."
He hoped not. Even though he was young... He didn't want to kill a kid. And he knows the leader of the rouge benders will send him after him. He moved over and peaked around the corner as well, his head right next to hers so their cheeks almost touched. He raised an eyebrow as he saw Zhi walking with them. Even though she was normally undercover. This had to be important.
He placed his hands on her shoulders and said, "Well let's go ask." He said with a smile. Nyima didn't know he knew one of the people walking. He took her hand and pulled her out of cover. And wrapped his arm around her and made his way over to Zhi.
As he moved over to her he gave her a casual wave when he caught her eye. " So what's up with the gathering? Something important happened right?"
---------/-
"Zhou, I told you. Ko'noki wouldn't tell me. She only said that it was of the up most importance to be here on this day," She paused holding out a sheet of paper to him. "And to be at this exact address at the exact time on the list.." Taking a moment she shifted a bit. While Zhou looked back at her. "You would think after so many years in Temple that 'Noki wouldn't be so cryptic with her instructions.. And this is the first time she's told me where I had to travel to.. It's unusual." She cut her eyes to him, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. "And she didn't have to send a bodyguard..."
He looked at her as her eyes cut into him when she sarcastically called him a body guard. His eyes were just as hard at her he then looked away and said" it's not like I'm too happy escorting a..." He glances back at her. "Princess." He leaned against the wall and continued. "I don't have time to just wait around anymore. I would rather be on my own... I work better that way." He looks around the the street corner. Watching people move back and forth. " I hope it doesn't take long." Crossing his arm he noticed in the distance some men with hats... Standing up a little more. He noticed it was the white lotus making their way down a few blocks away... "Strange..." He said softly.

I can't remember so do what ever you like
She shook her head when he brought up going home, "No... I can't... They'll make me marry him if I do..."
He watched her as she said that. She looked like she was determined not to go back.
"Greeeat" he thought to himself as she grew silent. Obviously thinking on her own problems he sighed and started to think on what he could do. He held his tea in hand staring into space when he heard.
"This... Is all so different... The North is nothing like this...." She smiled softly, "It's why I came here.... I heard that it was one of the most forward moving places in the world.... North doesn't adopt anything new, we still live in ice and snow homes and most this work by water bending rather than... umm... Electricity...."
He smiled slightly at her words of wonder. Just a young girl who wanted something more than just a married life. Who was he to stop her... She just needed guidance. He looked at her as the Old man cam back and placed a bowl of noodles in front of them. "Yeah it's a whole lot different from the north kingdom. There is a lot of amazing things... And dangerous things... That you can't just run out there with no preparedness"
" thank you Chan "he said softly.
He looked at her and said" but I can teach you if you wish"
He watched her as she said that. She looked like she was determined not to go back.

He looked at her and said" but I can teach you if you wish"
As he spoke She nodded her head along with his story. When he finished, she smiled very lightly, "I suppose.... A better person couldn't have stumbled upon me."
He shook his head and said " just a person ..." As the old man came back out with some hot tea. At which He took a cup and blew on it to cool it down.
She pulled her his coat around her while she let out a ragged breath, "Seventeen... I'm seventeen. Today was my wedding day," she shook her head, "So, I got out of my dress and into this and jumped out the window..." Nyima tightened his coat around herself further, "I didn't think about it further... I didn't think about it at all... I just did it," she looked up at him as she sat on her stool, "Are you really going to help me?"
He was looking forward thinking with his cup in his hands, the warmth on his hands. He then realized he left his staff at the harbor. Oh well he would get it in the morning. He took a sip and looked back at her. "Yes I am going to help you. Why I'm still here." He said with a warm smile. Before putting his cup down. "I understand... You got put in a corner and just acted. Not often when we are young we make rational choices in hard situations. I've done things I'm not proud of and made mistakes . Best thing we can do is learn from them ."
He turned towards her and said, "Now for tonight after we eat. We can ask old man chan if he has a extra room for you. In the morning I'll be back and we can work out what to do. If they means putting you I the next boat home."
