Tsuzuki frowned, "She sounds like a real fun-squisher, if you know what I mean."
She sighed and heard a voice outside of the door. Immediately, her senses prickled and she was ready to bend when necessary. She looked at Baolin, signing to him with a point towards the door that she was going to go check it out. But, when she opened it, she found a huddled, sleeping figure outside. 'Weird for the upper level,' she thought with her eye brow raised, slightly amused.
"Hey," she said, proding the sleeping figure with her foot, "Wake up."

"She isn't exactly a-" Baolin began in Zayiya's defense, but he hushed at Tsuzuki's sudden change in demeanor. Could it be that the guards had, in fact, come to interrogate him?
His concern dissolved, though, when he saw the figure collapsed at the door. Homeless, it was likely.

Her eyes instantly snapped open and she felt a prod in her side, making her sit upright suddenly and look around.
"Oh! er- Im sorry!" Was all she could stutter when she saw the two people looking over her. It was just her luck to pick a strange house to sleep in front of. She should know that wasn't smart, especially in the Upper level..
She was unsure of what to say for a moment but then realised the best thing to do would probably be to leave. "Well..I'll go, and I'm sorry for...yeah well, sleeping-there-or-anywhere-on-your-property-you-know-okay-BYE!" Talking exceptionally fast in a slight hope of confusing them.
She rubbed her eyes and turned away with a minute groan.

Tsuzuki smiled and laid her hand on the girl's shoulder in a friendly maner, "Why don't you come in and have some tea? I'll get a pot going for you if it's alright with Baolin. This house isn't mine of coarse."
She laughed as she headed inside, letting Baolin make the decision to let a potential guard into his house. Tsuzuki knew that reverse-psychology was the best way to handle this; show the government and their spies that nothing was wrong or suspicious about this entire thing. Inviting a stranger in was best. But she'd let Baolin make the decision as it wasn't her home to invite the girl into.
She got a pot out from the cubbards and a bag of tea. She put it over the device where the fire was supposed to be made and lit it herself. She wanted something hot even if she did hate tea. She was more of a coffee.

Baolin chuckled, knowing full and well that it would be dangerous to defy a woman her right to company.
"Come on in," he said, gesturing to the room. "I have no quarrel with inviting odd people into my house, considering I myself am presumed to be a very odd person."

Celeste looked extremely touched and bowed before entering. "Thank you so very much Mister Baolin Sir, you have no idea how much this means to me!" and quickly brushed her bare feet before walking in.
Celeste's face was a picture as she looked around the house with wonderment, she certainly hadnt seen a place like this since she ran away, it certainly beat living in a tree.
She saw Tsuzuki light the fire and tensed up, but then broke into a weak smile. "and..thanks for the tea" She said, sitting down by the table slowly, not sure what to say.
In the end Celeste decided that being the guest in the house, a guest should probably wait before giving too much information about herself..although, they seem friendly enough, she thought with a smile.

Rachlarn Tsuzuki smiled and laid her hand on the girl's shoulder in a friendly maner, "Why don't you come in and have some tea? I'll get a pot going for you if it's alright with Baolin. This house isn't mine of coarse."
She laughed as she headed inside, letting Baolin make the decision to let a potential guard into his house. Tsuzuki knew that reverse-psychology was the best way to handle this; show the government and their spies that nothing was wrong or suspicious about this entire thing. Inviting a stranger in was best. But she'd let Baolin make the decision as it wasn't her home to invite the girl into.
She got a pot out from the cubbards and a bag of tea. She put it over the device where the fire was supposed to be made and lit it herself. She wanted something hot even if she did hate tea. She was more of a coffee. A man knocked on the door "Is there a Miss. Tsuzuki here, I have a Message from a Master Kazuki Fuuchoin Captian of Northern Tribe Military." he called to her The Letter say in Kazuki voice, like he was reading it in person: Dearest Tsuzuki,
If you are reading this letter, I want you to know I am a stronger person now, and I am not sending the Water Nation into battle unless its fully crutal. I will not allow my people to lay harm to the Firebenders or your people. We will sit this on out unless it comes to our waters. Another thing is I am comming for you, and you may not like it if I come now so I am going to travle the world and look at the Air Temples and Shrines, also if you need me, just send a letter with my sent with any messanger hawk and I will get back to you.
Love,
Kazuki Fuuchoin

Baolin stood, a little stunned at the sudden appearance of the man.
"Tsuzuki..." he called hesitantly.

Tsuzuki was placing three cups of tea and the pot on the table (with a cloth underneath so the wood wouldn't burn, of coarse) when the man came to the door. She smiled as she took the letter and thanked him for his trouble. As she read through it, she turned back to the man and said, "I'll have my reply by this time tomorrow. Come back then."
As he left, she closed the door and sighed deeply. What would she write back? She sat down and read through it a few more times before explaining to Baolin and, inadvertantly the girl there, "Kazuki was the first person that wasn't from the Fire Nation that I had ever really met. I had to leave his mansion in the Northern Water Tribe when I recieved the letter from my parents that we've discussed the contents of many times over. That's when I came here. I havn't been able to write him since."
She knew that Baolin knew what she was talking about when she mentioned the letter from her parents but she didn't want to discuss it with the girl sitting at the other end of the table. She might not know about the war yet or she could be a large part of the war. Either way, Tsuzuki liked to keep it a secret.
She walked lightly over to her room and grabbed a piece of parchment from one of the drawers. As she rummaged around, she remembered the last word before he signed his name. "Love". She didn't know what to say to that. He could have meant love love or just friendship love. Once she returned to the table, she began to scrawl out:
Dear Kazuki,
Thankyou so much for doing this. You have no idea what it means to me. As you already know, I'm spending my days within Ba-Sing-Se now. I know that you expected me to be in the Fire Nation but certain events have transpired where I havn't been able to leave just quite yet.-
She stopped at asked Baolin with a feable smile, "I know that my wanting to help people must be killing you by now but would you mind if we had just one more visitor?"

"By all means," Baolin said with a shrug. He could only assume any of Tsuzuki's friends would be trustworthy, considering the precarious situation she was in.

Celeste looked around the house once more, then her gaze snapped down to her hands, and the emblem printed onto her left palm. It was clear these people were to do with the war, and she could not interfere with what they had planned.
"I will leave you my gracious hosts, I thank you for your hospitality but I can see you have other cares and I should depart."
Cel said in what she hoped was a thankful but final tone. She looked around one last time sadly, these are good people, even if there is a fire bender here, she thought but then instantly felt ashamed for thinking it, Tsuzuki had been extremely kind to her, she would not forget it.

Tsuzuki smiled and nodded, "You're very welcome. I'm glad we could help. And if you need anything else, ask me. But not Baolin," she laughed, "I've probably intruded on him more than he thought I would."
As the girl left, Tsuzuki returned to her normal state and began to write the letter again:
Quote: Dearest Tsuzuki,
If you are reading this letter, I want you to know I am a stronger person now, and I am not sending the Water Nation into battle unless its fully crutal. I will not allow my people to lay harm to the Firebenders or your people. We will sit this on out unless it comes to our waters.

Dear Kazuki,
Thankyou so much for doing this. You have no idea what it means to me. As you already know, I'm spending my days within Ba-Sing-Se now. I know that you expected me to be in the Fire Nation but certain events have transpired where I havn't been able to leave just quite yet. I will discuss these matters with you when you arrive. Things have escalated and I'm no longer sure when the war will start. Come by whenever you think you're able.
Love,
Tsuzuki
She rolled it up and set it on the table and looked at Baolin, "What's done is done. Now, as we were saying-"

"Why do you think she just up and left like that?" Baolin asked, more than a little perturbed. "She didn't even stay for tea..."
