Kyoujin stood there where Yana left him for a couple minutes, glancing back at the others who seemed to be ignoring him now besides the few looks Sachi shot him, but he could care less at the moment.
He growled, sighed, then looked back at everyone again. He didn't want anyone to see him following her...
"What am I concerned about, jeez..." he mumbled, crossing his arms and trailing after Yana.
Once he reached where she was, he unfolded his arms and placed them on his hips.
"You're good at walking away from people."

"I'm even better at ignoring them. Care to see?"
Yana wasn't in the mood. She may have a streak of loneliness an ocean wide...but this wasn't the kind of company she wanted
at all. "What do you want?"

"I said I'd follow you. You already think I'm stupid, I don't need you thinkin' I'm a liar too," he said with a little chuckle, scratching at the back of his neck.

"I never wanted to be followed." Yana said, not bothering to face him as she supported herself against the railing with her hands. "Not by Sachi, and most definitely not by you. I've always done my best on my own."

"I suppose I'd be able to say that if I secluded myself all my life, but sadly enough, I've had to be with large groups of people. I had to get along with them, whether I liked it or not, and I have never really liked people." He said to her, as soft as he could while walking up to her side. "I tried to keep away from them as much as possible because I didn't like them...though I highly doubt that's the case for someone as submissive as you."

"Don't insult me. Submissive..." she snorted. "What a load of nonsense. There's a difference between the cowering servant and those who know that you need to sacrifice your own wants and needs for others. I'm just a servant to the world's needs."
She pointed a severe look at Kyoujin, "And the world needs the Avatar to keep the balance. It doesn't need a greedy boy taking everything he can lay his hands on."

"The world doesn't really need an Avatar. What it needs is a good cleaning-ridding the world of stupity, crime,..." Kyoujin gave a laugh then shrugged. "Meh, doesn't matter to you what I ramble. I'm just a stupid, greedy merchant that you could care less about. I bet you're so emotionless to the point where if I was to stand up..." he paused, bringing himself to stand on top of the railing. "Right here," he continued, trying to balance himself, "and fell right now, you wouldn't care, right?"

Yana stiffened. "You really are a moron." She hissed before yanking him back onto the ground. "There are things even mortals can't do. The balance between elements...the connection to the spirit world, helping people in ways you can never comprehend." She said sternly.
"My feelings have never gotten in the way of my mission before. Even if it results in a pre-mature death, I will keep the Avatar safe." She walked off to the stairs in a huff, but stopped to Kyoujin once more.
"Understand this." Yana said solemnly. "I learned from my father that all life is sacred. Even Fire Lord Ozai was spared death when he dueled my father for the conclusion of the Great War. I hold concern for you as a human life. But if you should not hold concern for others-" She turned away, voice creeping with ice, "-Then Koh will have a fresh face to add to his collection."

Kyoujin followed her with his eyes as she left, then once out of sight he laid himself over the railing with a long face and sighed.
"Sucha downer..." he mumbled. "There's a difference between being smart and being a mood-killer..."
After sitting there and staring blankly into nothingness for a while, he propped himself back up and headed down the stairs to Yana.
"Why do I keep following her?"
"'Cause you're a stalker."
"Or just a hopeless ro-" he cut himself off, slapping himself so hard across the face that he knocked back into a wall. Shaking it off, he laughed and continued down the stairs to her.
"Fine, fine. A stalker."

"If you're going to stalk me, you and the voices in your head can make it a lot less obvious Merchant Boy," Yana called irritably over her shoulder. Several guards posted around looked at her in confusion. She tapped one on the shoulder, looking exasperated.
"I'd like to be Earthbended into my room now please. No annoying visitors."
"Uhh...sure?"
___
King Bumi was cackling as he was engaged in a genimite eating race. Whoever could eat off all the genimite without getting completely covered or sick to their stomach won. The guard came in with Yana following.
"Your highness, where is Lady Yana to be staying."
"In the good chamber."
"The new one?"
"No. The one that used to be bad before refurbishment made it good. Number 8 I think."
He quickly got back to nibbling as fast as he could at the genimite. Yana sighed as the earth-bender lifted up the "door" and closed it close behind. The room was lavish, but Yana had no time to admire it. She curled up into her bed, sleep easily coming as she cleared her mind for a dreamless sleep.

Kyoujin crossed his arms and grumbled angrily to himself all the way down the stairs until he came upon Bumi and Sachi again.
"Why won't she talk to me? Is it 'cause I'm crazy?"
"You're not crazy. Now shuddap and go eat some more."
"Don't tell me to shut up. See? I'm talking to myself, I am crazy!"
"No you're-"
He stopped himself again and pulled at his own hair, calmed down then paced back and forth.
"For the last time, you are not-"
"YOU! KING CRAZY EYES!" He interrupted, pointing to Bumi. "Am I crazy? You think I'm crazy! And so do you!" He continued on his rant, pointing to Sachi. "And so do..." he hushed himself, scooting towards Sachi's unfinished plate, eying a peice of broccoli. "You..." he growled.
He snatched it up, 'choking' it then eventually threw it against the wall that Yana had disappeared into. "But she thinks I'm the most crazy..."
Throwing himself on the wall, he started to bang on it and whine like a kid to their mom.
"Lemme iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin! I swear I won't touch you!"

"These seems familiar...but I don't remember where from." Bumi mused as Kyoujin fruitlessly pounded against the walls. Toph looked excited.
"Can't you see? It means he's finally cone crazy! This is awesome!"
Yana stuffed her head underneath her pillow, resisting the urge to remind him that she can't earthbend the door open...and she really didn't want him in here anyway. She breathed in deeply, reminding herself to be as firm and immobile as a rock. It's not like his fire-bending is good enough to bust in anyway. There's a countless number of guards to help Yana...not to mention King Bumi, Toph and Sachi. She'd be fine.
After all....he had to stop whining and fist pounding eventually.

Kyoujin continued for a good 10 minutes, then finally gave it up, pounding softer on the wall.
"Lemme in! I WILL cry!" He murmured, tearing up.
"Big boys don't cry, now pick yourself up and be a man!"
"But I don't wanna be a man!"
"Too bad!" he growled, grabbing tight to his hair, beginning to smash his head into the wall. He looked back half a second and shot the three a cold stare. "You. Saw. Nothing."
"I swear it's just a faze!" He whined in response.
Finally he stopped, balling himself up against the wall. He thought a while, stood back up, took a deep breath, pointed a firm finger at the wall and hissed.
"I shall pass!"
Before he knew it, he'd blown a hole clean through the wall to where Yana was visible.
Blowing dust away, he shrugged to Bumi. "Fire. It'sssss GREAT!"

"What the hell is your problem?!" Yana shrieked as the chunk of wall was smashed right through. A burned scorch mark was left as evidence of Kyoujin's firebending. So much for giving up eventually. "You could have hurt someone you maniac!" She threw off the coverlet and marched over to him.
He learned just how hard he struck a nerve when she pulled back a hand and swiftly slapped him.
"You're acting like a complete baby!" she scolded loudly. "You don't need someone to wipe your bottom when you're alone, so let me be for once!"
"At first this was amusing...but maybe we ought to do something." Toph said quickly as King Bumi nodded, biting off the last of the genimite.
"Lets."

Sachi, completely quiet after Yana said she didn't want her around, came back to her senses. She shot Kyoujin off of his feet with water, and then froze him to the wall. She walked up to him, and glared. "If you ever, do anything stupid like that again, I will kill you."
