"Hey. Thanks," Lin nodded in acknowledgement and continued on, "I've never seen you Earth bend before."
"Great! I'll see you tomorrow? We must prepare. Here is the proposed location," Iroh laughed heartily, scribbling down the location, "I must go hurry and pack."
Iroh quickly went to pack his things with Zuko. It seemed they were moving to a richer part of Ba Sing Se. Zuko couldn't believe their luck.

"Well, I'm not that great," Jun answered displaying a bit of his own bending abilities.
Luu couldn't help, but smile at Iroh's enthusiasm. She left as well, but head out shopping for Lin. As she shopped, she passed by that street vender again seeing the necklace again, smiling to herself thinking 'soon I'll get you'. She picked out a pretty gold colour pin for Lin as well as a cute little outfit. Lin said tomorrow they could go to the baths together, so Luu was sort of looking forwards to that, plus she got a job now.

"Yeah, you do need practise," Lin said, raising an eyebrow, "I guess it can't be helped."
She prepared herself to teach what she knew.
--next day
Lin had a free day before she was in the army doing her duties for real. She sat waiting for Lu.
Zuko and Iroh were furnishing the teashop.

When Jun awoke he found that Lee had already left. Shrugging the thought off, he decided to start his day with practise. For some odd reason, meeting Lee gave him the drive to get better at Earthbending. Honestly, he wasn't gonna get anywhere if he just kept on doing what he was before.
Luu had a bag slung on her shoulder as she headed out to find Lin. There she spotted Lin, well, Lee.
"Hey! Were you waiting for long?" She asked as she approached waving.

"Not really. Did you get my stuff? Great, thanks," Lin said, taking the bag.
Lin quickly stripped away the army uniform and pulled on the dress. She then picked up the pin and pinned her bangs to the side.
"Hm, nice choice," Lin said surveying herself in a bucket of water.
Zuko decided to get something with their advance. He went down to the street merchant and selected a necklace. It was a specific one, and he was not sure why he bought it. He ended up stowing it in a pile of clothes in the drawer.

"Thought it'd look nice," Luu smiled, "And it really does suit you."
They headed off walking about.
"Where do you want to go?"

"Bath. I haven't bathed in ages," Lin replied.
As they rounded the corner they smacked into someone. Lin froze upon seeing Jun. She quickly raised her sleeve to hide her face.
"Hurry let's go," Lin muttered.

Jun blinked feeling something run into him. Sheesh, when he just wanted to take a refreshing walk too. He looked down and he found a pretty girl coyly hiding most of her face. Then he noticed her friend. Lee's girlfriend? Jun stared at the pair as they apologized and hurried off. That was strange, for some reason he felt like he knew the girl. Maybe she was some rich girl he met back then. But then again, he'd remember her if she was that pretty. Hrmmm...
"Sorry!" Luu apologized for Lin as they rushed off. "That was close!" They hurried into the bath house just in case Jun could possibly be following them.
"Bet you have a thing for him~!" She teased.

"I don't," Lin answered as she enjoyed the hot water soothing her skin and washing away the dirt.
Well, she did have a thing for Jun, but currently, Jun knows her as Lee.
"What about you and the prince? You were talking to him and the general on the boat."

"W-What?" Luu blinked a little stunned by Lin's question. It wasn't that she was completely against the idea or anything, it was more like she didn't expect it. Secretly, Luu actually did find Zuko attractive, but the thing is there's just too many secrets between them. He held secrets and so did she. But that's just something to progress on.
"What are you talking about?" Luu questioned regaining composure.

"Oh comeon. You were talking to the Prince. I've lived in the Fire Nation for some time. I know what he looks like. The general is not hard to miss either,"
She handed Luu a cloth to scrub her back. "You had some fire between each other."

"Pffttt, fire as in his anger most of the time?" Luu laughed as she scrubbed Lin's back for her. "Nah, we're still a little too different you know. We only happened to run into each other often, that's all. So, tell me Lin, what were you doing in the Fire Nation if you were an Earthbender?"

"Hm, really? It seemed he liked looking at you," Lin commented, blowing bubbles. It was nice to be her and enjoy someone scrubbing your back. "I was a fugitive. The Fire Nation invaded my village and took all the earth benders to go do some work. We all escaped and I met Piandao. So I lived with him for some time."

Luu finished washing Lin's back and let herself sink into the water so only her face basically peeked out.
"I've heard of him. He was formerly apart of the Fire Nation Army, a swordmaster. Wow, so you must be good with the sword too!" Luu blinked in amazement, a little envious of Lin. Luu herself was not that great with the katana. Some would say she was a master, but she knew better. Her skilled movement was only from her being a Firebender Master. Other than that, Luu didn't quite know how to properly use a katana.

"Piandao is better," Lin replied, sinking into the water also, "Do you know how to use the katana, I wonder? You seem to carry it around with you."
