Nyima bowed her head when the man placed the noodles in front of them. She looked at the noodles as Rayn spoke of how the city was very different from the Northern Water Tribe. She lowered her head when he reprimanded her for her being under prepared for her running away. She sipped her tea and sighed, "I know... But if I had left the room I would have been dragged to altar... I didn't have time to prepare.... I... I know... It wasn't smart but..."

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."

She picked up her chopsticks and picked up the noodles, "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?"
Zenji looked at the girl and blushed as she said Masuto had done good work for her arriving first. She shook her head and fixed her hat a little, "This was when Masuto told me to be here... I.. I didn't want to be late."

She stepped inside and smiled at Aki. She gave her a small wave, "I'm Zenji... It is nice to meet you..."

She turned and looked at Masuto. She bit her lip a little, "Ahsoka wanted me to apologize that she couldn't come... Something had come up... I didn't really catch it."

She looked around the room and nodded, "You have a nice home..."

Nyima walked noticing Rayn was walking a step or two behind her. She knew what he was doing, if the wind had been coming from any other direction he would be there. She didn't stop him, she had to let him feel like he was helping her in someway. She looked ahead to see a group of men walking. She stopped suddenly. Grabbing Rayn's arm, she pulled him over to the wall. They had already spoken about how being a 'couple' helped with make it seem as if you weren't looking and watching. She leaned against the wall and pulled him close to her. With his body blocking her from the sight of most the people who were walking about, she watched the men walking. She whispered to him, "White Lotus..."

One of the men looked in their direction and she quickly looked at Rayn, smiling, "Do you think they've found the Avatar?" she looked at them from the corner of her eye to see one of them still looking. She sighed, "Look away..." she wrapped her arms around his neck but for whatever reason the man still focused on them. Nyima groaned slightly before she took the initiative and pulled Rayn close, kissing him. When she pulled away and looked, she noted that the white lotus man had in fact looked away, "About time," she murmured.

She ducked under his arm as the White Lotus moved around the wall and out of sight. She peeked around the corner, "Should we check it out... It could actually be the Avatar..."
Nyima released the coat to allow herself to reach out and grab the tea that had been placed in front of them. She sipped it and looked at him as he told her what was going to happen. She shook her head when he brought up going home, "No... I can't... They'll make me marry him if I do..."

She sipped her tea as she thought about it all. She was fully convinced if she went back that her parents wouldn't understand. She had spoken to them but they wouldn't listen to her. They didn't care that she didn't love him, they always just said you will. Nyima didn't want that though. She continued to sip her tea, feeling the warmth spread through her. She glanced up at Rayn as she slowly drank. Finally, she looked up at him, lowering her cup. She examined the placed around them, "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...."
Nyima looked at the old man and nodded her head, "I really was..."

She looked at Rayn when he started to try and figure out her story. 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."

She pulled her his coat around her, taking in the warmth of it. 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?"
Nyima looked at his hand when he held it out in front of her. After a moment, she put her own hand in it, "N-Nyima."

She used his hand to help herself to her feet, "Leaving... Sounds good," she looked out to the water and sighed, "Sorry.. What? Oh hungry... Um... Yes."

She followed him as he lead her to some restaurant. She continued to wipe her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She walked close to him, scared of her surroundings. She looked over her shoulder back at the docks and sighed, "I... I... I ran away," she said softly, "My parents wanted me to get m-married... forcing me, really.... I don't know why.... I... I don't have anywhere to go and I don't know anything about this city... I think I might have made a mistake coming here," she rubbed her eyes, "I don't even have anywhere to stay," she stopped and looked at him. She laughed a little, "I'm sorry... I don't know why I'm telling you any of this...."
Nyima squirmed as the man grabbed her, wrapping his arms around her and stopping her from getting away. Her heart pounded in her ears as she tried to fight herself free. She cursed to herself as the man hardly budged and merely laughed at her efforts. She could feel a stinging her eyes when man landed some ways in front of them and started to beat the men attacking her. She was awe-struck as she watched him fight. She yelped again when the man seemed to lose his footing and fall off the dock into the water. She lowered her head, well there goes that chance. The man laughed in her ear, causing shivers to run down her spine. She closed her eyes tightly, fearing what was going to happen to her. She heard the crack of wood and opened her eyes again to find the man had returned and managed to take down three of the men. She looked at him in awe. When the ordered the man to release her, he did. He seemed more worried about his hide then getting his way with her. He pushed her forward, causing her to stumble before her legs gave out from under her and she hit the deck. Sitting there on her knees, she started to cry. Why had she left? It was stupid of her. She should have gotten married like her parents wanted. Instead, she had run away to a place she knew nothing about and had no where to stay. She covered her face, completely ashamed with herself. She was too young to have left home. She still relied on her brother to protect her from dangers. She left him along with her family and she couldn't even protect herself. She looked up at the man who had saved her and wiped her eyes, "Th-thank you."
Nyima's heart was racing as she looked at the men who had surrounded her. What on earth had she gotten herself into? She heard the footsteps behind her and quickly turned. Water jetted out of the ocean, colliding with man trying to sneak up on her from behind. She looked from side to side, they left no place for her to turn her back to. There wasn't even anywhere for it to back up against a wall, which at this moment, she thought she would have preferred. She counted six in total, even if not a single one of them could bend, even being next to the water, Nyima could tell that this wasn't fight she was going to win. However, she was so scared to lose. She felt a hand grab her and yelped, pulling herself away. If this had been at home, Zhou would have come to her rescue. But this wasn't home and Zhou had probably just found out that she had run away. She could have gone anywhere, he wouldn't know she had gone to republic city. She slowly started to bend the water around them as a feeble threat.
Nyima stood staring at herself in the mirror. She was dressed finely and her hair was piled it some majestic way on her head. But the only thing she could focus on was the little necklace around her throat. With that necklace her life and fate were sealed and handed off to some man. Nyima was not okay with this. She stepped back and started to pull the pins from her hair, and undress herself. She grabbed her coat and pulled on her pants. Walked over to the window, her only escape and looked back at the mirror. Reaching up, she ripped the blue necklace from her throat and threw it to the ground before she jumped from the window to disappear silently into the water.

It had taken her sometime to get to Republic City. Between waterbending and climbing onto non water tribe boats, she managed to get there some days later in the middle of the night. She climbed onto the dock and smiled as she looked at the lights of the city. It was far brighter here than in the drab North. She laughed a little as she started to walk down the dock. That was when she heard a snicker and her blood turned to ice.
OOC Stuff!
Nyima rolled her eyes when Rayn puffed out his chest. They had been talking about a recruit who had been following her around like a puppy dog. She had said how she preferred to date dogs, less training, and Rayn quickly caught on that she liked older men. She assumed that was why his chest was puffed out at the moment, he was a few years older than her. She stepped out of her door behind him and locked up before she followed him down the stairs. When she reached the bottom, she wrapped her arms around one of his, "What can I say? Big, strong men make me swoon."

She laughed a little and released him, "Now, why are you getting all big chested about it? I may like older men, but don't act like you have a chance. I'm so out of your league."

She smacked his arm lightly in jest. She corssed her arms and hunched her shoulders slightly, trying to keep out the chill of the morning. Sure, she was raised in the Northern Water Tribe, so cold was hardly an issue. But she didn't dress warm for Republic City's winters. Thus when the wind blew, it was more noticeable. She buttoned up her coat and lowered her arms slightly, as less wind passed through her coat. She looked up at Rayn, "Do you think she'll be at Head Quarters or out and about on the streets, looking for the allusive Rogue Benders, who've caused so much troubled for her and her department?"
Zenji sat in front of a mirror in the house of the waterbender who had taken her in for the night. She stared at her blue hair and noticeable Air Nomad clothing. Their clothing had hardly changed in the last 300 hundred years, especially if you at temple, then there was no way around it. She used to live at the temple. It wasn't until she went home to retrieve her glider that she found family and friends dead. The temple was neither safe nor a home she could live at. Slowly, she started to piled her hair onto the top of her head. She pulled a toque down over her hair, hiding the bright blue strands. She stood and retrieved her clothing that she had gotten the other day. They were just normal clothes, to make her appear less like an Airbender. She sighed as she changed into the jeans, a sweater and a scarf. She looked at herself in the mirror and sighed. She looked nothing like Zenji. She grabbed her glider and walked out of the room to be met by the waterbender who was helping her, "Hey Blue. Heading to Masuto's party?"

Zenji found it funny that the woman didn't call her by her name, as if to remove the last part of her old identity. She nodded, "I think it is a least I can do for what he did yesterday."

Ahsoka nodded, "Well, have fun."

Zenji smiled and walked out of the building. She hadn't told her what she had seen the previous night and she wasn't going to tell her. She wasn't going to tell anyone. She was going to smile and put on a brave face. She couldn't ruin Masuto's birthday. She arrived at his house, sometime later and knocked quietly.
