She ducked, making the ice just skim her hair line and smiled. She had once heard a story about someone who had done this and had it work so she took up a circle of ice andstarted shaving of sheets of the finly cut ice. She tossed them like a frisbee at the boy, one after another, after another.

Aki's dark hair fluttered over her eyes and she shook them away as the fight went on. When the blocks were gone, she leaped over the boy and landed on the other side. She was confused for a moment on how she had done this, but Aki took no heed, knowing that he might take advantage of this...

ooc:// That's so nice Dust. Leave a battle in the dead center. >.> Poor Ti Jinh. His spirit's all broken now. Ugh.. I'll post in a minute. I broke my foot at school today and I kinda need pain killers. The one's the doctor gave me wore off. Stupid school and their hazordous slippery halls. I suggest you NOT run in a newly polished hall way.

Ti Jinh was slightly confused on how Fever could act so casual yet be in the middle of a little battle. He smirked though when half of his little attack hit which caused her to hiss. That was such a lovely sound to his ears, the sound of his opponents’ misfortune.  

That smirk didn’t last long when the dust storm cloud blocked some of his vision. Of course being an earthbender who meddled in sandbending the dust was an issue, but not really a big one. His eyes got used to the sand particals and the dust that was always being stirred up into the air. He could see some yes, but not fully.   

Figuring she would have some kind of sneak attack he braced himself, but sadly that was the last thing he needed to do. The air sweep hit the bottom of his legs causing him to fall with a thud onto the earth in front of him. He narrowed his eyes before quickly pushing himself to his feet and throwing up his arms causing the earth in front of him rise like a shield. The other attacks hit it then all fell silent. He lowered the rock shield and watched as the dust settled. He let out a huff of air before balling his fist. “Good one, bender” he semi hissed noticing she was gone. His normally peaceful green eyes narrowed into slits as he glared at the tree a cross the way. This little fight brought back a few memories of his past. One’s he wasn’t particularly fond of.  

Glancing to the side he noticed Kai-Ching. He stood up straight and let his eyes soften once again to their normal state, but that did not mean he wasn’t still highly upset. “Good afternoon” He greeted in a friendly tone glancing up at the sky noticing Jet. Smirking he whistled and watched the hawk dive down towards him perching on a random tree branch above him.

“Find her and keep an eye on her. This is not over” He growled to the bird watching it spread its wings and disappear towards the Chin Village in search of Fever.

ooc:// No one was on today. T.T But I am going to post as Nokomis because her being stuck in the fire nation isn't getting me anywhere. lol.

Nokomis glanced up at the dark sky before smirking. She placed a dark green hood upon her head hidding her from the earthbenders. Not that she really cared if she was spotted, but a fire bender within the Earth Kingdom or well one of the Earth villages would not have a good turn out. She loved to cause mischeif, but she wasn't looking for a fight. In fact she was looking for a place to crash. Traveling was exausting especially since she was traveling at random going wherever her feet took her.

Letting out a soft sigh she glanced up at the sky watching a hawk circle an alley not to far from her. She narrowed her eyes wondering what on earth a fire nation hawk was doing in the Chin village. "Odd..." she whispered making her way forward following the hawk watching as it decended on the edge of the alleyway on a roof. Its yellow eyes were focused on Fever. They narrowed as it let out a screech flapping its wings before folding them nealty at his side.

Hey, I think this sleep thing might be working. Fever realized hazily.

She could feel her subconscious slipping, getting dragged into the deep black void they called slumber.

But everything good must come to an end; most things annoyingly early. A harsh screech made her jerk awake, eyes flying open, her body reacting so strongly to the startle that she felt herself whipping up some air against the ally floor as she tumbled off her stack. She landed with a barely audible 'tap' on the cold ground.

She forced herself to stop shaking, then glanced up to see what had disturbed her semi-successful attempt at getting some rest. She already knew what it was though. How many other Fire Nation messenger hawks were there in Chin?

Just one. Ti Jinh's. Fever met it's yellow stare with her grey one.

"Um. Hi." Fever said, clambering swiftly back on top of the crates. She held it's gaze for another moment, then blinked, and took out the meat-paste bread from her cloak's pocket. She ripped it in half, and tossed one up to the alley wall's ledge where the hawk was perched, using a bit of airpower to get it up there safely.

"So what's up?" She asked casually, as if talking to another human. She never treated animals differently anyway. Fever bit in to her own bread.


(( Yeah, I was pretty busy today. o_o
And probably a good idea, lawl. xD ))

Kai-Ching ate her fill of apples and rode on the back of Gwa-Ryu all the way back to the earth village of Chin. She heard a monger or two converse on there fears of the fire nation's rising power and how they figured if Azula's child was found then she would help lead the army. "Do I want to lead armies?"she questioned as she fell asleep on her badger's back.

ooc:// lol. ^.^ I was suposed to do HW but didn't. Oh this procrastination is a bad thing.

Jet narrowed his eyes before screeching once again and caught the food in his beak. With one swallow the bird at the meat before spreading it's wings flapping them wildly. It screeched one last time before jumping into the air taking flight.

Just as the hawk went airborn, Nokomis appeared at the entrance of the alleyway glancing down noticing Fever. She glanced up at the circling hawk above. "Is he yours?" She asked crossing her arms letting her black bangs cover her peircing blue stare. She wasn't amused, but she wasn't bored either. Her mood was a little in between emotions not sure what to make of the girl and the Fire Nation messanger hawk in Chin village.

Jet circled lower before letting out one more screech and lowering himself on Fever's shoulder narrowing his yellow eyes at Nokomis. He ruffled his feathers picking at a few with his beak as if to straighten them.

Jet flapped his wings when Fever landed softly on the ground making sure to keep his balance on Fever's shoulder. With narrowed yellow eyes he watched Nokomis who nodded lightly and followed Fever still a little uncertain about her. "Left him? Heh...Smart girl. So his owner...he's fire nation I presume" she said watching the hawk just glare at her which only made her smirk. The bird knew who she was because this was not the first time comming in contact with Jet and Ti Jinh. Jet screeched loudly flapping his wings avoiding hitting Fever. A low grumbly hiss sound admitted from his beak.

 "The bird seems to like me" Nokomis laughed shaking her head lightly. "Creatures were never a big fan of me. For some reason I scare them away or well...make them nervous" Nokomis laughed lightly the sound was a little evil sounding, but somhow she managed to form it into a sweet normal laugh not sounding all weird and creepy.

Ti Jinh made his way back to Chin Village walking down the empty street. He let out a soft sigh clenching and unclenching his fists. He was a little irritated how the day went. First Jet out smarted him and then some random chick managed to get to him then disapear. Yeah what a great day he had. He let out a huff of air but paused glancing up ahead hearing the screech of Jet. "Ah...so he listens" he whispered whistling softly watching the hawk snap its head in his direction before jumping off of Fever's shoulder and flying toward's him. He held out his arm as Jet perched letting out a soft screech pressing his beak to Ti Jinh's cheek. "Ah. I see you have missed me" He sighed watching Fever and the unknown chick.

"You know...That would be a good plan if you were foriegn to the village, but seeing only one person out of this group actually lives here wouldn't it be best to crash at that person's place?" Ti Jinh asked with a slight frown. Jet screeched spreading his wings and taking off into the sky just circling the three. Ti Jinh didn't think anything of Jet figuring he wanted to streach his wings a little bit. "My house is down the street if you wish to stay there, but if you want to break into someone's house be my guest. I'm not telling anyone" he said walking forward toward's his own home not really caring if Fever or the other chick followed him or not. He had plenty of room and didn't mind sharing. It did get pretty lonely in Chin Village if you didn't have family or friends around.

Nokomis watched Ti Jinh frowning as her blue eyes narrowed behind her black bangs. So the boy really didn't reconize her beneath her stupid green Earth Kingdom cloak. That was a first. He normally didn't let his guard down but something was different. He looked a little annoyed and crushed. Wondering what exactly had happened today she glanced at Fever curious about if she was going to acccept the inventation or not. "Since when does an Earthbender carry a Fire nation hawk?" She asked mainly to herself but loud enough for Fever to hear but not Ti Jinh for he was a little to far away to be prying in conversations. "Such an odd place" She muttered this time to her self.

Another laugh escaped him as he shook his head. "You never said your name, just started attacking" Again she was oblivous to anything that happened in the woods other than the whole fight. "And sure...Sleep anywhere you want" he said motioning to the house walking into the kitchen to get some water. His throat was a little dry from the day's events and especially from all the and that he had polluted the air with.

He wasn't really focused on Fever and kind of did his own thing. He did look back watching Nokomis close the door behind her. She glanced up catching Ti Jinh's gaze and gave a soft smile. "Ti Jinh..." she said softly watching his green eyes narrow. "It has been a long time. Last time I recall us meeting, I was encased in gl*censored*" She said slipping her hood off letting her long black hair fall past her shoulders.

"Nokomis" Ti Jinh said a little harsly greeting the firebender. "You would have done well to stay in the gl*censored*. It would have kept you from aging" He smirked leaning on the counter not really caring if she was there or not.

Nokomis's eyes got narrow and a frown fell upon her face. "Haha...very funny Ti Jinh. I see Jet is doing well. The son of the officer you killed was hoping he could have his father's bird back" she stated randomly leaning against the door slipping her cloak off revealing her black dress wth the red bow around her waist. "He also wants revenge on the one who killed his father, but lucky I didn't spill any secrets" she smirked. "Well too bad. The kid can't have his father's bird because I can't have my family back so why should I give his back?" He snapped letting his once soft green eyes harden on Nokomis.
