Hua grinned as well. "Awesome!", she exclaimed. She hopped back on her rhino, digging her boots into the stirrups and giving the animal a pat on the shoulder. The rhino grunted, seeming eager to get a move on. "I was thinking maybe the Southern Water Tribe would be a good place to start. Any thoughts?"

Xao Chin smiled over towards Keko and nodded brightly in agreement. "That's certainly right." he laughed. "You're always so quick and harsh and sharp." he looked to Keko then and arched a brow, "We're more light, smooth, airy." he chuckled to himself at the last descriptor but it was certainly true. Airbending was built upon the wind and air itself, it was not meant to be a sharp and harsh style of bending. For air was neither of those things. Air was gentle, ever moving and flowing, a bit like waterbending in a sense almost. Though it was playful as well, drifting and whisking anything it liked and moving it as it saw happily. "Exactly! Before you can even start bending you'll have to learn how to move. We can teach you some movement excerises first." She suggested, laughing at his description as well. He was completely right- everything about air bending was about how the wind was moving, more on manipulating it, nudging it gently until it did what she wanted them to be. Projection was a different story, of course, but it still required the calmness air bending had. (For Hawk)

"That sounds easy enough." Yangchen said rubbing his hands together. "Just tell me what you need me to do." He said. Yangchen couldn't wait to do cool tricks with his new airbending skills.
"Wow." Raiden said letting this sink in. "I would say my bending is pretty good though there is somethings I can do and can't do."

The rhino grunted, seeming eager to get a move on. "I was thinking maybe the Southern Water Tribe would be a good place to start. Any thoughts?" Weisheng turned around and climbed back onto the saddle and situated himself behind his brother. "Southern Water Tribe? Sounds like a good plan to me~" he said, though he really didn't have any better ideas. "We're going to need warmer clothing then," Xun murmured, gripping the reins tightly as the lizard took a step forward.

Xao Chin smiled lightly and laughed at Yangchen, happy he was excited to begin. "Well, firstly..." he thought for a moment or two, "I suppose you must get used to the movements." They continued down the mountain path carefully and Xao Chin adjusted the sash about his body, Timpti giving a light chirp of annoyance. "And pay attention to the breezes around you too, get to know them and learn which way they move and how they flow."

Yangchen tried to focus on the wind and how it moved around him. He stumbled slightly though he managed to keep himself up right. Yangchen blushed a little and keeps going.

Its alright Silv~ also I apologize for not getting online- I've been busy lately and I'm abt to go on vacation soon

Giving her a smile, he loitered at her side before he gently shook his head. "It doesn't feel like its inspiring enough," he had muttered to her, raising a hand and gently smoothing his already pulled back hair before turning his gaze down to her. "What would be gripping enough to gather support? I can't live on looks alone," he flashed her a teasing and flirtatious wink at his second in command before the water bender slowly walked on to their 'hotel'. He rubbed his chin, sighing quietly as he finally came to a stop at the entrance and furrowed his brows. "It feels as though there's something lacking Jin."
Perhaps they were advancing this whole Avatar thing too early, or maybe even worse- there may not be an avatar this generation. His brows knitted together, a look of serious thought crossing his features as he slowly placed his hands together behind his back. A soft inhale followed, searching his mind of all the wrong things he could be doing wrong and his muscles grew taut once more.

"That's true," Hua agreed. The Fire Nation didn't have to worry about cold climate like the water tribe did. Of course, it wouldn't be too hard for a fire bender to warm themselves up. "Perhaps one of the neighboring towns will have some cheap coats to keep warm." Hua suggested.

"Perhaps one of the neighboring towns will have some cheap coats to keep warm." Hua suggested. Xun nodded in agreement. "Wei, can you check how much money we have left?" he asked. One hand still on the reins, he reached into a back pocket and pulled out a small sack. Weisheng took the sack and gave it a shake, looking satisfied at the soft jingling coming from within. He opened it up and took a moment to count. "A bunch of copper pieces, and a few silver... think it'll be enough for a couple 'a coats?" he asked, looking to Hua.

"Nice." He responded. "The one thing that practice the most is keeping control of multiple rocks at once. So one of the exercises I try to do everyd da you is sit on the florr, raise myself ten to fifteen feet, then make rocks circle around me. Then one by one I send the he rocks at a target."

"Should be enough for a cheap one. After all, it shouldn't be too hard to stay warm, right?" She grinned, flashing a small flame in her hand for emphasis. Though she wasn't very good at firebending, she could at least keep a small fire going for a certain amount of time. (Sorry I haven't been on, there's been lots of school work and low muse, hopefully things should be picking up soon)

No worries!I haven't been on much either lately for the same reason lol]]
"Maybe for the two of you, some of us here can't do that," Weisheng muttered, pouting. "It's a good thing too, you would've burned the farm down ages ago," Xun murmured with a slight chuckle. He looked ahead to Hua. "So, we're heading south then? After we buy Wei here a coat?" he asked, ignoring his brother's cries of denial.

Hua couldn't help but laugh a little at their banter. "Yes, I suppose that's the plan," she replied. "There's a town not far from here, so perhaps there will be a shop close by that sells come cheap cloaks." Her rhino huffed and lashed its tail, apparently eager to start moving. "Hush," she muttered, patting the animal's head.

"Great, let's get moving then" Xun said, back to serious mode. He glanced down at his map before folding it up and tucking it away in his small backpack. The lizard, as if it had understood what he said, flicked its tail and let out an impatient hiss. He gave it a quick pat on the side before giving it the signal to start walking again.

"Wow." Raiden said blinking at him. That sounded rather complicated in his mind but probably worked. "Who taught you how to earthbend?"

Hua nodded, encouraging her rhino to move. "Follow me, I suppose." she said. The rhino huffed and began walking down the dirt road.
I'm going to make up a small town and we can skip to that if that's okay?)

That's fine!]]
Xun nodded and pulled back on the reins a bit so that the lizard was following slightly behind Hua and her rhino. Behind Xun, Weisheng had taken out one of his daggers and after unsheathing it began to clean and sharpen the blade, he's the type to get easily bored. "Wei, I'd appreciate it if you didn't work with sharp objects right behind me," Xun muttered, frowning when he got no reply.

Hua chuckled at Xun's comment, finding the two brothers to be quite amusing. It wasn't every day she got to socialize like this, especially with characters such as these two. But she had been given an important task, and she knew she had to maintain her focus on completing it. * * * After a while of traveling, Hua could see the first few buildings appear in the distance. The red flag of the fire nation flapped in the wind, only partially visible in the dusty bellows. Wow, what a windy day. Hua thought. We may have to go inside soon. Passing under the village gate, she could read the words "Samcheon Town" etched into a wooden sign hanging from the top. She remembered patrolling this village on several occasions while on duty, but otherwise never spent much time in this place. (This would probably be Yon Rha's village.)
"Well, here we are, Samcheon town," she announced. "There should be a shop around here somewhere...." The buildings were made of roughly cut stone, though sturdy enough to stand upright. Slanted roofs provided shade for the residents below. Loose wooden frames and window shutters clacked against each other in the wind, and from somewhere Hua could hear a soft wind-chime jingling. The marketplace was mostly empty, as people were returning to their homes to escape the breezy weather. Shop owners were closing their stalls to protect their produce, and she noticed one of the shops had the image of a kimono painted on the sign above the door. The shop owner, a little old man, was picking up apparel of various sorts and bringing them back inside from his stall. Hua pointed at the shop, signaling that that was the place to go.

Xun's gaze followed Hua's finger and he nodded after seeing the shop. He brought the mongoose lizard to a halt on the side of the road and tied the reins around a tree branch after dismounting. "You have the money?" he asked, looking up at his brother.
"Right here~" Weisheng nodded, sliding off the saddle. He took a look around the town and pushed a strand of hair behind his ear. It was rather pointless, though, as soon as the wind picked up again his long hair whipped him right across the face. "Nice little place, it has actual shops and all that," he commented, snickering lightly. He stretched a bit to loosen up from the long ride before calling out to the shop owner and running over. A little while later, he came out of the shop with a dark red coat tucked under his arm. "Well, I think I'm set now," he announced, tossing the small bag of coins back to Xun.

"Great! Looks like we can get moving again," Hua said. But she laughed at Weisheng's wind-blown hair, wrinkles forming around her eyes; these were signs of genuine amusement. "Perhaps it's time for a haircut?" she tittered playfully. Her own hair was whipping into her face too, despite most of it being tied back. She wondered if it would be better to just shave all of it off some day. "Do you ever even cut your hair?" she asked Wei curiously.

Sorry for disappearing! I was out of town]]
After Weisheng climbed back onto the lizard's saddle, he grabbed a strand of his bangs and inspected it. "Maybe... but I'm thinking more of a trim this time," he replied with a light smirk. He reached back and tightened his ponytail and tucked the loose strands at the sides of his face behind his ears. "I've cut it once or twice before, and trim it all the time. I like it this length, no longer, no shorter," he explained, looking almost proud of the fact.

"It's impressive," Hua said jokingly. "But doesn't it ever obstruct your vision? I can imagine it must be a pain when doing farm work, or in combat." In combat she knew it could be risky; being able to see your opponent is essential after all. She recalled having trouble with it during sparring sessions at one point, and chopping off parts of her hair in irritation afterwards.

Yo!]] I'm starting to wonder where 𝓼𝓲𝓵𝓿 went... ;-;]] ~~~ Weisheng looked thoughtful for a moment. "Yeah, it has gotten in the way a few times. Then I learned the ways of tying it back and boom, problem solved. Well mostly. But I don't really mind it all that much," he said. He reached his arms up in a stretch and then laced his fingers behind his head. "Plus, it looks cooler when I fight, even if it does occasionally slap me in the face." Xun just rolled his eyes as he climbed back onto the saddle. He kept his hair short, plain and simple. He could've made a comment about how he thought his style was superior, but that was an argument for another time.
