Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jin's hands were covering his head for protection. The impact the Earthbender made was a quite good one. Dust was out in the open. After a few seconds, the dust vanished and Jin descended his hands down. He saw the Earthbender demolished the walls and was sweating. Jin was surprised! For all his days of traveling around the world, this is the first to ever see an Earthbender destroy a wall! Jin stared at the demolished wall and said,

"Whoa! How did you do that? Did it take a lot of chi away? Are your arms sore from the bending?"

Apparently, Jin was hyper today. (He's always hyper when something amazing happens.) Then, on the other side, Jin saw a familiar face. A waterbender he encountered. So, Jin poured some water around his body and the other guy and got into stance. Both hands curved around the center of his stomach. He was ready for any attack.

(Sorry [Hollow Point], I don't know what your talking about. There's a reason why I made Jin 12. stare )

Jonah was also approached with a question from a familiar person, the waterbender that had been spying on them previously. Knocking down a stone wall did take some effort, but he was clearly capable of the technique when his adrenaline was pumping.

"In case you didn't know, something like that is surprisingly easy given practice and adrenaline. I suppose someone like you wouldn't know about bending a substance element."

Jonah stood at the ready, his stone coin in hand, wondering what the two spies were planning. They clearly had a reason to remain hidden, and Jonah was intent on learning it or crushing them with the ground they stood on.

"Just tell us why you are here and spying on us. This is the last time I'm going to ask before you get crushed."

A cold sense of heat could be hinted in Jonah's voice, a hint that Jonah was not in a pleasant mood. He was hungry, determined, and irritated; all together to make a bad atmosphere around an earthbender.

OOC: I have no clue. Jin's intellect isn't that good I think.

(Sorry to do this to you all, but I'm going to be off until Monday. Sorry for the inconvenience, but that's how it is)

Zorin took a deep breath and sighed heavily. He eased out of his stance and stood somewhat relaxed. He wasn't going to take any chances with trying to stop that ring, so he would just live today and fight some other time. He calmly removed his goggles and breathe mask, revealing his blue/gray eyes and a simple mouth. He fixed his view on the one holding the stone in the air and prepared to speak.

"I admit that spying on you was... incorrect on my part." he said. "I am simply a novice Earth Bender, traveling from town to town, learning what I can. I saw your abilities earlier this day, and was about to approach you on the idea that you may train me. However, at the time, you looked rather... irritated. So, I decided to follow you here. Since you seemed like your mood hadn't improved, I thought I would just watch and wait until you got in a better mood... also... I kind of wanted to see some top notch Earth Bending that I could teach myself... I admit I was wrong, and I humbly ask for you to forgive me." At this, he put his legs together and took a short bow. He looked down and pulled a foot out from the sand.

"As for this... I didn't want you to notice me and mistake me for an enemy or something. I really don't think things through, eh?" He then looked over to the person standing next to him. Zorin didn't have any idea who he was, or why he was so keen on fighting.

"As for this fellow," he said, motioning towards Jin, "I don't know him, or what it is between you guys. However, I don't think you should attack him. If it's you all against him, what harm could he do to you? Can't you just let him go?"

At this, he sat down in his little mound of sand, legs crossed, and arms on his knees.

"I'll let you judge what to do with me, but I need my rest now, after what you just threw at me."

Lastly, he looked at Fulgar and smiled.

"Thank you stranger, but I'm not hungry." He then looked back at Jonah and waited for the answer.

Jonah, taking Rave's advice, dropped the boulder onto the ground, letting it make an unusually loud crash as it hit the floor. It was true that the wall had taken a little effort to take down, something Jonah wasn't used to doing on a regular basis. He decided against fighting, but he stayed true to neutral jin, keeping his defensive side ready in case someone tried something smart.

"Alright, but you're on thin ice. Think things through before you act; you might not like the result if you do the wrong thing."

Jonah turned to the novice waterbender, looking at him with the strangest and sternest look. He might be irritated, but he wasn't without wisdom.

"You simpleton. The Avatar is about balance. If you were to face him with just the intent on winning, you will be caught dead like a roast duck on a spit roast. Even I couldn't defeat him without years of intense training. And judging by your methods of approach, you would have to endure a century of training to even face the Avatar."

Jonah turned away from the two novice benders, ashamed to look upon them at the moment. Before he went to the dinner table, he made a quick decision.

"I'll teach you earthbending, desert bender. But I'll have nothing to do with the waterbender. Rave, we'll have our spar after we eat."

Jonah then proceeded to the dinner table, ready to eat some fine meats. He needed to eat to spar, and now he could enjoy some fine food.

"Thanks, Fulgar."

Hearing the noise outside of earthbending she assumed it was just training. After being asked about the tea she grabbed the pot and the tray cups. She rushed out practically jumping(1) running out the door past Xiao. "Woh!" she spun on her right heal doing a 360 while having her other leg out the cups almost spinning out. You could hear the tea juggle inside the tea pot. She pulled her leg in while plasting the front of her right foot down to stop spinning. She felt her balance going back along with the weight of the tea pot and tea cups. "O NO!" Using her abdominal muscles like a rubber band to all the way back able to place the tea pots and cups gently on the table, without a broken cup or chipped tea pot. Kurai's upper body weight got the better of her. She placed her hands firmly on the table pulling her legs up. The rubber band effect caused her legs foreward her knees practically touching nose. But thanks to her experience and training she was able to push off the table without moving a single item on the table. Landing in a squating position she pulled herself up turning around smiling. "Im sorry guys I just lost my balance, hehhee" The smiled sheepishly bowing in appology. As troted up to the table and began pouring the warm tea into the cups a soft steam arising from the cup. Noticing the giant hole the wall and an upset Jonah she assumed it wasn't all earth bending training. Shaking off her curiosty not wanting to disturb the wonderfull dinner Fulgar prepared with questions. "I mixed up some teas I hope you all like! Its not too sweet or too bland!" She smiled standing holding the cup's tray, like a waitress. "Do you need anything else?" She said cheerfully with a sincery smile. Kurai did do alot of odd jobs before arriving in Omashu and one was beging a waitress. She stood there waiting an order or request.

Jonah sat down at the table, filling his plate with roast duck and a few other meats like ribs and such. He included a few vegetables, but he centered his appetite around meat. Meat built protein, which was essential for muscle. Muscle meant good endurance and fighting capability, and having a firm stance was good for earthbending. In essence, meat was good for earthbending.

"Kurai, did you make any ginseng tea? I find it to be my favorite."

Jonah picked up a small bit of ribs, tearing shreds of meat off of it with a bit of a voracious appetite. He had been bending on an empty stomach, and it made him quite hungry.

((Eek! gonk Short post...))
