Raj let out a long breath, jumping up, turning around and thrusting both fists outward as he landed on the ground. The earth cracked and heaved just past his fists, but it was a small break and covered less than two meters. He frowned at how short it was and tried again in a different direction, getting about the same result. He felt weaker with how short the crack went, he was aiming to send it farther, a way to strike and possibly stun multiple enemies that didn't get out of the way fast enough.

There were now quite a few fractures along the earth, Raj moving around to train and make the cracks go farther so he could throw more people off their feet at once. He jumped again, this time physically slamming his fists into the ground. He lost his balance, however, when instead of making a trail of flinging stone, it created a radiating shockwave instead. He stood up and looked around at the damage done. It wasn't very far, but doing this purely by accident it was a pretty decent size.

Raj stepped forward with his left foot, lifted it, then stomped harshly on the ground, making a pillar shoot up to about the height of his waist. It was only one meter in front of him. He sighed and stood slowly, bowing his head and taking a deep breath. He'd made a bit of progress. Raj looked around at the ground and blinked, he'd also done a lot more damage than he thought.

Rei had been travelling for quite some time, resting, training, but he still felt like he wanted more training in, even though he was unusually tired this day, he musn't have had enough to eat or something, since he was feeling abnormally drained. Note, try not to bend on an empty stomach. He told himself, figuring he hadnt had enough to eat was the reason he was so tired, as he was gliding in the air, the Glider that forms into a staff was in flight mode, and he was flying through the air, hands firmly gripping, even if it didn't seem like it, he was training. I should improve this a bit, it really is helpful. Rei thought to himself again, as he cut up into the air, higher, this flying wasn't all 'follow the wind', it involved some bending, which Rei was practicing at the moment. As he continued to rise, he began to go back slightly, like once would if they were going to try a backflip, he kept on pushing farther until he spotted someone training, or finishing training, but by then he was going down fast, forgetting the whole little concept of Gravity. Whoops, better pull up... The 'nose' of the glider tried to tilt upwards, but he couldn't exactly manage to pull himself out of the dive, he tried again, using some more power and more air bending, he managed to pull out of the dive a bit, as he was going straight now after he wobbled a bit.
There we go, now rise and... The nose began to go up, and the Glider followed, leading Rei higher, away from the ground he might have hit a few secounds ago, as he started to spin slowly, so not to accidentally let go of the glider, he swooped down with speed and pulled up again, changing direction after he pulled up to go straight, just to fly normally, he repeated that a few times, stopping less and just continually swooping and making sharp turns with the help of some bending, well, as sharp as you could make a turn on a staff with paper sticking out of it. Okay, thats enough, I'm feeling a bit tired now anyway. He thought, going down, not in a full dive, smoothly but fast so he wouldn't screw up the landing close to the Earthbender training, he passed over a few trees before he snuck under one of their branches for fun, just about hitting it, he came closer to the ground and his feet came down as they touched they ground, he ran a bit when he did so he wouldn't fall, and closed the glider into a staff again before putting it on his back to carry, landing close enough to spot the Earthbender, and so he could probably see him.
"Few, I'm hungry." He said, relieved it was over but still happy from the experienced, as he exhaled, tired. He hadn't trained much on his Glider, so it was good to get a feel for it, and practice some harder moves, they may not have seemed like an expert move, but all he needed was to fly smoothly, and rapidly, and training up there helped him with that.
Glider Training, Post One.

Raj looked around as he felt the wind alter slightly once in a while. He then heard quickly approaching rustling through trees and looked in that direction, figuring to be ready to fight when he saw the Airbender simply land. By the looks of it, it was just a traveller who just so happened to come across him. Why is it that I always seem to find someone when I'm looking to avoid anyone...? He thought to himself, deciding to approach the other boy at the very least with directions to a village he could rest at.
"Hey, Airhead, you're pretty far off from any major Earth cities, what're you doing here?" Raj asked, folding his arms and watching Rei carefully. He grew up dealing with Firebenders, of course he was going to assume that this guy was going to attack him.

Rei was beginning to walk closer towards Raj when he would start thinking of whatever it was he was thinking about, he could pick Raj out because he had seen him while practicing, good eyes and all. Hungry... He thought, groaning in his head, he didn't like being hungry, it wasn't that great. But at that time he spotted Raj clearly, coming towards him now. Ah, its that guy who was training, maybe he has food! He thought, eargerly waiting for a 'Hi hello there, hungry?' or a 'You look starving, care for a bite?', but luck wasn't in his favor right now. He stopped walking around once Raj was infront of him, and listened to what he had to say, and he had just called him an Airhead! If he wasn't tired, hungry, and a very cool dude, he might have just challenged him right then and there.
"Travelling on an empty stomach, you wouldn't happen to know where someone like me could grab a bite, would'ja?" He asked, smiling through the hunger. "And you wouldn't happen to know anyone who'd pay for such a bite, would'ja?" Rei asked again, innocently. How was he supposed to know if Raj would be greedy, grumpy, happy, or sad, he was just hungry, and he asked him what he was doing. "So yeah, looking for a bite's about what I'm doing." He smiled generously again, maybe he had a new friend who could pay for his meal, I meen, once you meet someone its almost secound nature to treat them, right?

Tsuzuki packed up her bag which had fallen during the fight. She looked inside to make sure that everything was there. There was her Northern Water Tribe clothes, her Earth Kingdom clothes, and her maps. Her money was still tucked into her sash. In it she knew there were ten gold pieces, twelve silver pieces, and thirteen copper pieces. She didn't have to check. She then turned to the newcomers from the Fire Nation and said, "Listen, if you don't have a boat or something. . . I guess I'm just gonna find a boat of my own at a near port and go the Fire Nation by myself. I'll meet you in the capitol where I guess you can escort me to the corrination or something."
She waited for their answer impatiently. Tsuzuki wasn't sure about any of this but she was sure that this would get her back into the Fire Nation without a problem.

Raj growled faintly and shook his head. Of course he was going to try and make with talking, he was an airbender. The young Earthbender pulled a small pouch out of his pocket and tossed several silver coins at Rei. "Here, it's enough to get you something to eat at just about anywhere you want. Ba Sing Se is a few miles that way." He replied, pointing diagonally to his right. Hopefully, the boy would be perfectly content with that and immediately go on his way.

In some cases, Rei might have taken the money and left, the guy didn't seem like he was in the mood exactly, but he was tired and hungry, and he was mostly listening to his own logic at this point, so he'd decide to help this guy out, he lacked some social skills, but he did carry good money. He reached out and caught the coins, he felt a good bit of coins enough for a meal at least, move, and smiled, he didn't bother checking, that'd have been rude, in his opinion at the moment anyway. "Great, a feast fit for a performer!" He laughed and smiled, happy at the donation, and happy that his logic had proved well yet again. Once he finished he looked over to where the Bender had pointed, right, he couldn't see it though, he knew where Ba Sing Se was, most did, and being a traveller gives ones the perks of carrying maps, not that he'd need one for the city, he'd just ask around for directions.
"Good, I'll have some food in my stomach finaly, lets go!" Rei grinned as he'd grab Raj, not hard or threatingly, just grab him so he'd follow, he'd put his arm over his neck so he couldn't get away either. "I'm sure you'd rather come along, instead of me doing something like running off with all the coins, I meen, you've got to keep close tabs on your money, and whats closer then going to eat with a pal!" He grinned, hopefully Raj would come along, and not cause a fuss. Even if Rei was interested in what he could do, he was still hungry, so he'd prefer not getting into some epic battle with powers to shatter the core of the earth, y'know, at least until after food.

Raj blinked slightly as the Airbender got the jump on him and began dragging him toward Ba Sing Se. After a few moments of not really processing what was going on, the Earthbender grunted and held his feet firm on the ground, pulling back on his arm. "I don't live in Ba Sing Se, so I have no reason to go there. You're a traveller, you have reason to go anywhere. The only things that will move me is losing that home or locating Firebenders. Leave. Me. Alone." He began walking back toward his own home, whether Rei let go of his arm or not.

Rei just kept on dragging Raj along, he wasn't even fighting it surprisingly, which was an added bonus, to the whole little scheme. He continued walking and heard a grunt, was about to speed up until Raj stopped by planting his feet in the ground firmly, losing his balance a bit, he tried once more to pull, but was unsuccesful he let go, frowning, he began to listen to him. "Oh sure, you don't have any reason to go there, but you have a reason to give me money to go there?" He asked, still scheming, he was a sneaky little brat, so he'd try his hungry hands at getting him to budge, it was just like a game! "But okay then, I meen, you don't have to go to Ba Sing Se if you don't want." Rei sighed, apparently in defeat as Raj would turn around and start walking back towards who knows where.
When Raj wouldn't be looking, seeing as he's still walking Rei would jump to land beside him, grinning in his head at such a master thought of a plan! "I'll come with you, you can make me dinner, and breakfast, and I'll tip you with these Silver Coins!" He explained, now grinning joyfully as they'd be walking together, buds had to stick together, he could tell that Raj didn't want to get seperated. "So, I don't think I got your name, what'll I call you?" He asked Raj, and no one in particular really, for a moment he didn't think he'd given his own name either, but, who cared for little details like that, he asked Raj's name first, afterall.

Raj suddenly reached out and grabbed Rei's hand that still held the coins he'd given him. The grip was solid and slowly getting tighter. He turned and glared at the young Airbender as he continued applying pressure.
"If all you're going to do with that money is give it back to me, then why did I give it to you in the first place? I gave it to you so that you would go there and, therefore, leave me here in peace. So if you're going to continue bothering me, then I'll take it back." He ground out, squeezing Rei's hand once more before letting go and pushing him back.

Rei had been waiting for a answer to his clever words, yessir-ee bob, he was a clever one at times, well at least he thought, until Raj grabbed his hand, the one with the Silver Coins he had given him earlier, he smiled nervously, he didn't say anything bad, did he? "Oh come on, y-you don't hate sleepovers that much, do you?" He asked, chuckling sarcasticly as the grip grew tighter, with more and more pressure, now glaring at him, as he was smiling nervously still. I better think of something. He thought, attempting to go back through their meeting to find anything he could use, after all, he needed some sort of an idea.
"Because I'm oh so hungry, and you're being a good soul?" He asked, chuckling as he smiled and interupted by mistake, but jokes always helped. "I'm still going, just not yet, and I'm going with you I thought, I thought we had the whole 'Pals for Life' thing going on, y'know?" He smiled as he felt Raj squeeze his hand once more, but before he could really make an expression, he let go and push Rei back, which he stumbled slightly as sighed, yet suddenly having thought of an idea.
"Alright, alright, I know when I'm beat! I was just looking for some help agaisnt, you know, Fire Nation and all those nasty guys, I'll find someone in Ba Sing Se then though." He sighed good heartedly,he thought it was pretty clever thought, remembering him talk about them somewhere in the middle of their chatting, he pocketed the Silver Coins and began walking away, hands behind his head together as he was walking away from Raj, it was always good to get in a little sneaking for a day, afterall.

Raj was walking away as well, taking his mindless dribble as just that until the mention of Fire Nation came up. "Firebenders? In Ba Sing Se? Wait here, I'll go get some of my things." He stated, dashing off quickly. For a guy that was fairly tired from practicing earthbending, he sure was fast. He came back about half an hour later and nodded to Rei.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. Are you ready?" He asked, pulling out some cheese he had in his house and tossing it to the Airbender. "Here, this will keep you well until we get to Ba Sing Se." This was the closest Raj got to "friendly" was doing what he could to make sure anybody he saw as helpful in his vendetta was well and able to help at all times.

"Yeah, yeah, uh, okay, what?" He was, for lack of a better for, confused. He hadn't expected this little lie to work out that good, I meen, the anti-social Bender suddenly turned Tickleme Pink and put on a travelling Tutu and hopped aboard the Airbender's express! While he waited he stretched out on the ground after taking off his staff and layed down, staring at the clouds while he waited, hoping that Raj would bring him some food or something, at least then he could act better once Raj found out there was no Firebenders. By the time Raj came out Rei was starting to fall asleep, but awoke from his eye resting once he came out, smelling something edible. "No problemo, and yup." He grinned, grabbing his staff and pushing himself off the ground with it.
He spotted the cheese, and when Raj tossed it it glowed like God's Treasure, like the Avatar would in Avatar mode, like teeth after they've been brushed. "Haha, yes!" He shouted, doing a little dance, using airbending to let him hop even better, he was doing the Airbender hop, a famous ritual of silly proportions. "Didn't I tell you this would be a great partner ship?" He grinned, having never said those words to Raj once. He took a bite of the Cheeze, it was like a wave of energy came back to him in a single burst of power, he was fit as a fiddle, or whatever that expression was. "Yeah, lets go."
