"Yes. He can." Terra said, "I'm just not sure if he found the Eastern Airtemple."

"If that's the case..." Tayu said nervously, "Then perhaps we ought to split up trustworthy delegates to confirm the news. I don't..." she gulped slightly. She realized that the next words to come out of her mouth could be incredibly insulting, and good politics were important, but she had to say them.
"I don't feel comfortable about Azula and Ozai regaining support in the Fire Nation. Even after all this time there are still too many who may feel differently about the outcome of the war."

"well, one thing for sure, If they want to take over the Fire Nation again, they will have to get through us. Trou, will you and your friends join us into fighting Azula, Ozai, Mai, and Ty Lee." Terra asked

(Big emotional post here. Raki will probably need to enter here)
Tayu wanted to protest. Fiercely. Being even remotely enraged however was unbecoming of a princess's character; she did not want to end up like Azula.
But her two bodyguards had the freedom to leave. They were last connection to Ba Sing Se, the last thing her father had given her before her escape. She felt extremely possessive, and vunerable. She wanted loyalty, real loyalty. Wasn't that why her father took such personal touches to the interviewing of the bodyguards? But she also needed something to make her feel less weak.
The overload of emotions and wants made her dizzy. She cleared her mind with a deep breath. It did not go unnoticed by Bumi. The old rarely missed such deep, emotional turmoil.
"If Trou and Raki wish to go, they have my permission," she said quietly. She filtered the emotion from the words, making them sound as if they had come from a statue. That's how a princess should act; filtered and disciplined. She stood up abruptly. "King Bumi I think I will retire for the evening."
____
Tayu's room was a grand chamber close to the quarters of the Omashu's royal family, close relatives to those in Ba Sing Se. A great balcony looked out over the mountains and cities, fantastic inlaid sculptures in the walls depicting badger-moles and ostrich-horses, earth-benders and warriors.
Out of a faint need for reassurance, Tayu tried to concentrate on a bowl of small stones, seeing if she had gotten good enough to levitate at least the small ones. She stood over, letting her hand hover about the glossy pebbles. The glass bowl shuddered and rocked with effort, sweat beginning to form on her brow as she concentrated fiercely. But it was to no avail, and the bowl finally went spinning with a crash on the ground, sending colored pebbles and glass everywhere.
The sickening, shuddering feeling came bubbling up Tayu's throat, pooling in her eyes. She swiftly crossed over to the door, securing the elegant wood lock, before swaying over to her bed and bursting into sobs, tears leaking profusely into the silk blanket.
She was stuck; stuck in a position where her politics didn't do anything worthwhile. With earthbending as feeble as straw and a physical form fit for a daisy, she felt absolutely weak in the face of danger.

Raki stood from the table and walked after the Princess. He watched her from a distance, not wanting to disturb her. He didn't enter her quarters, but stayed behind a wall to see what she'd do. When she slammed and locked the door, he knew he should act. Approaching, he knocked on the door, hoping she might answer. Though, the problem was, what would he say? He hardly knew what was wrong, so even if he did say something, would it be the wrong thing?

Raki turned towards Terra, a concerned expression on his face. "I think it's more important to worry about the princess than pleasantries. But, since you asked, I'm Raki." he said, shaking her hand. He honestly had never met Terra Bei Fong, but he had only heard of Toph Bei Fong and Aang. But even so, he didn't think Terra was the sort to demand such pleasantries of royalty.

Trou walked up to the princess' door and before he knocked he said, "yes she is the princess of Ba Sing Sai, and I will join you but the princess must come with us too. She is a basuc earthbender, but needs to hone her skills." With that he knocked at the door and asked ,"may I enter your highness"

"I can earthbend too, but I'm an expert and could defend myself with out any bodyguards." Terra said and held the meteor in her hand and bend it into a bracelet to place it on her wrist.

Tayu heard Trou at the door. She was hasty in composing herself, knowing very well that she needn't open the door to talk with them. "Yes? Trou? Aren't you busy getting ready to go?" she said calmly. Her face was still red, her makeup wiped off onto the bed as she hurried to turn away from the door to her boudoir.
"King Bumi can still help you all prepare if needed. He'll give you supplies. What do you need from me?"

Terra curtsied, "Your highness, I want you and your friends to join us to train at the Eastern Air Temple. I made the four training elements for my friends and I, and you too can train with us if you want. We train to fight enemies that joined Azula and Ozai to see if we got what it takes to defeat Azula." Terra said

Tayu heard Terra's voice through the door. "I'm not a good bender Terra...I don't have that kind of inner strength to do it." She looked miserably at herself in the mirror.
"All I have are my politics and my value as the heir. Azula and Ozai won't listen to either one."
