"Nah, I can wield it, but I know I'm not really using it," Luu answered as she got out of the bath before she became a raisin.
"Uwahh~! That was a good bath!" She stated stretching out her arms. "How long are ya gonna stay in there Lin?"

"How does that work?" Lin said, raising an eyebrow.
Lin crawled out of the map reluctantly. "It just been a while since i had a nice bath."
As they turned out of the bath, Lin could see Jun out of the corner of her eye. She quickened her pace.
"Walk faster," she muttered to Luu.

Jun headed along and then spotted Lee's girlfriend, Luu, and her darling friend.
"Hey Luu! Have you seen Lee anywhere?" He asked casually hoping to be introduced to this friend. Though, now that Jun was actually up close to them, he noticed that Luu's friend was older than her. Oh? Even better.
"Oh. Um. No, sorry," Luu shook her head. Then she noticed Jun looking often at Lin, and felt like some sort of suspicion was arising, but that wasn't actually the case.
"Oh, this is Lin by the way. And Lin this is Jun," she introduced them hoping to annihilate Jun's glances, which were merely glances of interest and not suspicion.

Lin's mouth twitched as she shifted her foot causing a silent poke in the butt with a little bit of Earth.
"Hello," Lin managed to say pleasantly, "I am Lin. Nice to meet you."

"It's very nice to meet you," Jun responded with a dazzling smile. Haha! His plan was triumphant, as he finally was able to meet the female. Her name was Lin, huh? That was a nice name. It had a nice ring to it and, strangely enough, Jun felt like it suited her. Despite that all, Jun knew he shouldn't impose too much and be thought to be 'creepy'.
"Well, I don't want to bother you two lovely ladies anymore, please have a good day," he smiled politely with a small bow as he bid them farewell.
If Luu hadn't gone through her own life like so, she probably would've twitched, but her face remained the same. As Jun left, Luu turned to Lin once more.
"What was that for?" Luu hissed.

"You weren't suppose to introduce me," Lin rolled her eyes as if it was the most obvious reason, "Well. I think I got to get back before Jun does. See you soon I hope."
Zuko stood with Iroh as they observed the new teashop.
"I think we can have our grand opening tomorrow," Iroh decided, "Why don't you go find Chen so she can start tomorrow? I know you want to see her."
Zuko rolled his eyes, but left anyways. How was he suppose to know where she was? Ba Sing Se was a huge city after all.

"Not my fault, he looked like he was suspicious of you!" Luu replied, but smiled. "I'll see you later then~!"
She watched as Lin left, waving her farewell, before turning off and heading in her own direction. She found herself stopping by that street merchant again to see if he still had that necklace. Today she had decided to get it, but when she arrived at the street merchant, she soon learned that it had already been sold. She frowned slightly, darn, it was a one of a kind item too. Oh well.
Jun headed back to the dorm room whistling joyfully to himself. In all his years, now don't get this wrong, it isn't like he hasn't dated or anything like that, but it was more like, he wasn't free to choose the kind of girl he wanted. Now free as a soldier was he able to choose a girl he wanted, and he definitely had his eyes set on a girl named Lin. Though, a strange familiarity about her bothered him a bit...

Lin stripped quick as a flash and was back at the camp before even Jun would be able to see the camp. She carefully stowed away her things and went outside. She splashed a bit of water on herself to make it look like sweat and began to Earth bend. Lee's story was he had be practising. Lin spotted Jun in the distance and wiped her brow.
"Oh, hey Jun. How's was your free day?" she asked nonchalantly.
Zuko was surprised how easy it was to find Chen. There she was at the street merchant. He waited till Chen walked away from the merchant before approaching her.
"Uh. Hey," Zuko said awkwardly. Silence. "Tea shop is good. You start tomorrow."

"It was pretty good. Your girlfriend, Luu, introduced me to her pretty friend," he smiled happily as he headed in, but then he paused as his eye spotted something glimmering on the floor. He crouched down picking up and no mistaking it, it was definitely Lin's.
"Hey Lee... Why do you have Lin's hairclip?"
Luu jumped slightly, a little surprised to see Zuko, oh wait, 'Lee'.
"Oh, alright. Thank you for telling me," she smiled, then thought about the size of the city and asked in concern, "You weren't looking for me too long were you?"

"Oh that. While I was heading back here I found it on the ground," Lin invented quickly without batting an eye even though her heart was thumping loudly, "Luu and I went out to choose it one day. I was going to return it to her."
"No," Zuko answered.
As Chen kept walking, he was not sure if he should follow or not, but as she was heading in the direction of the shop, he decided to walk besides her.

"Oh, I see," Jun nodded his head, then looked up from the pin. "Do you think I could return it to her then?" He asked seeing this as a perfect opportunity to see Lin once more.
It was silent between the two of them, in fact, Luu did feel a little nervous, but mainly because of the things Lin was saying to her before. The scenery changed to that of the upper class ring as they reached the tea shop, Jasmine Dragon.
"Wow! It's so pretty and big!" Luu gawked in amazement.

"No. I can return it. I'll be seeing Luu soon anyways. I'll pass it on to her," Lin replied as calmly as she could not daring to blink.
"Why thank you!" Iroh laughed, welcoming her in, "When I sent you out nephew, I didn't mean for you to bring her home. You're growing up nephew! You brought home a girl!"
"I didn't bring her home. She just came here," Zuko said through clenched teeth.

"Alright," Jun nodded setting the clip on the table. "You should set me up with her one day Lee," he sighed as he plopped onto his bed. Now, don't get him wrong, he isn't desperate, just madly in love to the near point of insanity. Note, that was slightly exaggerated.
Luu smiled, laughing slightly at 'Mushi's' comment.
"You've really made this place look nice," she blinked still awed. She looked around the place, it was definitely much bigger than Pao's Family Tea Shop, and much more suaver. Though, through this, Luu could see the difference between the higher class ring to the lower ones.
"Well I don't want to stay long, so I'll see you tomorrow," Luu said politely.
"Not even for a cup of tea?" Iroh asked as he already started making it. A cup of tea... That was hard to refuse.
"Oh, alright," Luu laughed.

"Uh right," Lin managed to answer wondering why he would ask her that, "Why do you want me to?"
Iroh went to go brew the tea, leaving Zuko sitting there with Luu. Zuko wasn't sure what to say so they sat in silence.
"So...uh, you like tea?" Zuko managed to ask.

"Well I usually don't ask for this sort of thing, but it's cause you know her and she seems to be shyer than most girls," Jun answered stating his thoughts of Lin's behaviour around him. Yup, he just thought that Lin was shy, nothing more, nothing less. No suspicion at all, well, until now, when he saw the golden hair clip. Just a little bit suspicious. Also, sitting here, Jun noticed some similarities between Lee and Lin.
"Hey, Lee, you aren't related to Lin or something right?"
"Yes, it's relaxing in its own way," Luu answered, her hands unconsciously fiddling with her hair. Then a thought struck her.
"Um... Lee... You're skilled with swords right?"
