OOC Hi!
Also I was wondering if I could adjust Pen Lu's age a little? I drew him today and he looks more like 17 than 19.
IC Pen Lu had fallen quiet, looking through the paper, though he did hurry through the first bit so he could get to the comics at the end. However when Vikko began to ask him some questions, he looked up. "Huh? Oh, I'm very comfortable here. More security isn't necessarily, besides, I'm certain there's other things that they could be doing. Like protecting other people too," he explained with a small shrug, looking back to the little comics printed on the paper.

IC :: Ziro chuckled lightly as she saw Katsu grill the fruit. She picked up a cup of tea and held it by her own mouth quietly with a smile on her lips as she watched the others before taking a small cup. She didn't put the cup down, rather continued to hold it by her mouth.

((Of course S'more, I'll change it on the front page Also, with the Group, I just made some stuff up to push the plot forward ))
Vikko turned his face to look back out the window, hiding the small smile on his face. If only Pen Lu knew that this unit had been formed specifically for his 'protection'. Many of the guards had had to undergo extra training against the other elements, more so than the soldier- just in case the avatar ever should any inclination of using the other three elements. Every person here would be able to defend themselves and even subdue him, in the event that it could occur. So far there had been no call for it, and he highly doubted that there ever would be as long as Pen Lu was forced to stay here.
----
Chei rolled her eyes at Katsu's antics, and lifted her own cup of tea to her lips. A light tapping came from the door, and Chei rose to answer, sliding open the door to reveal an ancient Air Nomad. His face was full of wrinkles, creasing the point of the arrow tattoo on his forehead. Chei bowed to him, to which he inclined his head, then stepped into the room as Chei slid the door shut behind him. He surveyed the others with bright, alert brown eyes and a wide smile. When he spoke, his voice was firm. 'If you are wondering why you're here today, the reason is right here.' He cut straight to the point, producing a small roll of scroll from amid the folds of the tradition Air Nomad robes. 'In my hand here, I hold the suspicions of an Earth Nation lieutenant. He believes he has the avatar in his custody, and wishes to aid in getting the avatar out of the Earth Nation. That is why I asked Chei to gather you here. I wanted a close group, a group that I know works well together, like yourselves, to aid this man with the avatar. I chose you because you are young, close to the boy's age. There are many reasons why I want you to do this. I know this seems sudden, and indeed out of the blue, but I need to know if you would be willing to accept a mission to recover the avatar.'

OOC Thanks Tome!
Also since I love him, I'm gonna show y'all his picture.
IC Pen Lu let out a small laugh. "Do you like reading the comics on the paper?" He asked, glancing up at Vikko curiously. "They're my favorite. This one had one about this earthbender and his pet Pygmy panther, I'd like to get a pet someday. Think one of those would be allowed?" He asked, showing Vikko the paper as he pointing to the comic in question to show him, as if hoping he would enjoy it as much as he did.

(( That's awesome, S'more! I love his freckles.))
Vikko walked over and bent a little to peer at the comics dutifully. 'No, I barely read the comics.' He said as he straightened. 'I usually just read the news. Of course, in this,' he tapped the paper Pen Lu was holding, 'it's called international news. But in the Earth nation newspapers, it's just the news. They are forbidden from publishing or reporting on anything outside the nation, of course.' A curious look passed over his face, which he didn't bother to hide. 'I don't see why you couldn't have a pet one day. In fact, why don't you have one now? Have you asked for one?' It was the first personal question Vikko had ever asked of the boy in the years he had been around.

OOC Thanks! So do I, honestly I had a lot of fun designing him, then once he was done I realized he looked a little younger than intended, so yeah.
Also, so if it's international, it probably mentions the missing avatar a bit, right?
IC Pen Lu frowned, folding the paper up and putting it in his lap. "Well," he began, looking down. "I want to be able to pick out a pet for myself, and if I wanted one, I'd probably just be brought one so I didn't have to leave," he began with a few small hand gestures. "Plus...well, a pet does sound nice, but what if it was aggressive, and attacked me? There's probably a reason there aren't really animals here already, they're probably dangerous," Pen Lu explained, shrugging as he put his hands in his lap.

OOC Well, I draw it traditionally first, then I download the picture to an app I have on my phone called IbisPaint X. It's really good, and not to mention, free, so that's a plus.

IC :: "Whoa- wait what? I mean, I'm very, very overjoyed at being picked to meet the Avatar, and help rescue him from the Earth Kingdom, while hopefully seeing the place myself, but why me? Or, uh, any of us? Sure, we all work pretty darn well with each other, and we are apparently closer to his age and shix, but like- isn't there more experienced people you could pick to do this?" Ziro asked standing up, cup almost dropping at first as he finished talking, but it was still in her hands now. Her eyes were widened with worry. She had to admit, she was less surprised about the others being picked, they were benders and good at bending too- she was a non bender though. Not nearly as useful as they would be.

(( Hey guys, I'm so sorry for just disappearing like that- my grandmother figure was taken to hospital and so things have been a bit sucky also sorry about this one-liner S'more, my brain short circuited )) Vikko straightened. 'I don't think animals are any more or any less dangerous than people. For the most part, they're easier to train.' He muttered the last part. ------ The ancient airbender nodded, taking their questions and concerns in stride. 'I understand your concerns. I am going to be completely honest with you.' He paused, looking each one of them hard in the eye. 'I am not acting under the instruction of any higher authority. This letter was sent to me alone, in the strictest confidence. You are not being sent in by any particular nation, nor Republic City. We, or rather I, am acting completely independently.' He tapped the scroll. 'This man recommended, should I act, to send people your age. He says that the avatar is under heavy guard, and once a year they get a small group of fresh guards to rotate in. He said these people are usually young, around your ages. He didn't divulge more than that, he gave me no reason for it. But he said if I wished to send help, young people would be the best choice to infiltrate the guards.' He clasped Chei's shoulder, a warm gesture with a fatherly smile. 'I could only hope that Chei's friends would be as trustworthy as she is. And rather unfortunately for you all, Chei is the youngest person I know. After all, could you imagine a group of ancient airbenders traipsing into the Earth Nation?'

OOC Totally fine. Also sorry about your grandmother figure, is she alright?
IC Pen Lu nodded along slighlty, straightening his back. "Well, if that's what you think, I want a pet. Like one of those Pygmy panthers that I've read about. One of those sounds nice, or maybe something more exotic..." he mused rather thoughtfully, by now only just barely breezing through the paper. Now if was fairly easy to decide that he did indeed want a pet, something small, since he didn't think he could get away with anything big. "Do you think we could arrange getting me a pet, Vikko?" He asked, looking to the older bender curiously.
