Lan Shen nodded, and sat as she watched Maiku warmed up. Her eyes widened in awe as she saw him expertly shoot fireballs into the sky and ocean. It's such a beautiful art...
She caught herself staring, and quickly turnd away, blushing slightly. Lan Shen looked at Maiku again as soon as he said he was ready. "Ok, good thing I'm prepared," Lan Shen said. Thankfully she was in her training uniform, and was ready to do anything Maiku dished out.
"What's first?"

Oh my gosh, I can't believe I forgot about that!, Riko screamed as her eyes widened. Nokoro always liked using that tricky question on anyone whom he had a conversation with. He noticed that Riko wasn't sure about her favorite firebending move from the way that she closed her eyes with thought.
I wonder if she'll pick a move that she can't do yet., Nokoro thought to himself while waiting for Riko to answer.
Suddenly, her eyes opened and she said, Well, I guess my favorite would have to be the dragon kick. This is done when the Firebender is in a close proximity to his or her opponent and when the time is right we let fire burst from our feet towards the opponent in quick jabs. This usually takes them off guard, and it's really useful but my Grandmother told me that advanced Firebenders can create lightning as well!
Well, she mentioned a move that she couldn't do yet. At least I was close., Nokoro pondered while he wondered what his favorite waterbending move was.
That's a pretty interesting move! My favorite waterbending ability is to concentrate all the moisture in the air and ground into water, my favorite move that I could do is to create and shoot ice spikes, and my favorite move that I can't do is to control the ample amount of water in humans. Hopefully, I will learn how to do that prodigious move one day. I have another riddle for you. What are three abilities that airbenders and earthbenders both have?! Sorry if the riddles are getting annoying, but I love watching you think your head off!, Nokoro replied with a chuckling grin on his face.

Lan Shen gave Maiku a little grin after his rude belch. He smiled back. Then Aoi said "it's ok." Maiku took that as a, your excused and said, "Thank you Aoi." "Ok, let's begin, but before we start I need to warm up a bit." Maiku said. He shot out bursts of fire towards the sky, then he sent fire balls hurling into the ocean. "It's been a while." he said under his breath as he continued his warm up After a few minutes of hurling fire all around, Maiku felt he was ready. "Now I'm ready Lan Shen," Maiku said. Riyan had followed Maiku and was crouching behind a large box. "I need to practice......" he thought to himself. "However, that will have to wait till later...." Riyan watched as Maiku finished his exercises, then slipped closer.

"Well I'm not much of a teacher, so you tell me what you want to learn and I'll see what I can do." Maiku said, "sorry about that."
Maiku got into his ready stance, waiting for Lan Shen to tell him what she wanted to learn.

Riko stared "Wow, I have no idea. Hmm, well they can create sand tornados....I think...and move Earth...and....hmm....they can also use their element to travel?"

"It's ok," Lan Shen said, "Have you ever heard of the crane technique? I tried to use once but it didn't turn out so well..." She blushed from embarrassment, remembering the incident she had with her Sifu.
"Let's see," she said, getting into her stance. She turned herself away from Maiku, so she wouldn't burn him. Lan Shen gracefully raised her arms and her right leg, just like her Sifu told her to. Breathing in deeply, she brought her arms and leg down in one swift, wave like motion, and was about to fire. As soon as she breathed outward, Lan Shen lost her footing and almost set the deck on fire as she fell.
*THUD*
"Oww..." Lan Shen mumbled as she rubbed her head. Oh Agni! I messed up again!

Wow, I have no idea. Hmm, well they can create sand tornados.... I think... and move Earth... and.... hmm.... they can also use their element to travel?, Riko said as she stared at Nokoro. Nokoro was still amused with the fact that she was thinking her head off with these riddles.
No, but the last two were pretty close. The three things that both Airbenders and Earthbenders can do are that they can both run more quickly, lift themselves higher into the air when they jump, and make their fall soft so that they don't get hurt. Nice try though. Do you have any tricky riddles up your sleeve?, Nokoro asked as he prepared his mind for the most intricate of difficult riddles. He smiled with temporary riddle victory.

Maiku watched as Lan Shen gracefully got into her stance. He saw her as she was about to do the move. Then she lost her balance and tripped.
Maiku ran over to her, "are you alright?" He asked as he held out his hand to help her up.

All the while, Aoi watched calmly. They're both so good! Until, suddenly, she heard a thud and spotted Lan Shen on the ground. "You okay?" she asked, concerned.

As soon as she felt her body shift, Lan Shen knew the next few seconds weren't going to be pretty. She cursed herself the moment she fell, ashamed for not improving over the past few days.
"Yes, I'm fine, thank you," Lan Shen said to the both of them. She graciously took Maiku's hand and stood up. Dusting off her clothes, she turned to Maiku and asked smiling, "Do you have any suggestions for me?"

"Everything was perfect, then I think you lost your concentration, but I could be completely wrong." Maiku said.
"Let me show you one of my favorite moves, the firewall." He said.
He got into his stance, legs spread apart. He pushed his arms to the floor in a thrusting manner. Then he sent his arms upward like he was lifting something heavy. Then a firewall erected up front of him.

"Of course, thank you for the tip," Lan Shen said gratefully. Need to concentrate more...can't get so easily distracted...
Lan Shen gasped as soon as Maiku said 'firewall.' She always knew it wasn't a difficult move, but it still took much skill to make. Seeing Maiku make his perfect stance, Lan Shen backed up, and knew what was coming next. A firewall was made in a matter of seconds, and everyone could feel the intense heat that was emitting from it.
Her eyes brightened not only from the flames, but from the excitement and awe she felt. Maiku...

"I'm afraid I don't have any good riddles." replied Riko with a sheepish grin. "But, how much longer do you think till the invasion? You've warned the populace of course though right?"

Nokoro discovered that his preparations for a witty, perplexing riddle from Riko were futile when she said, I'm afraid I don't have any good riddles. But, how much longer do you think till the invasion? You've warned the populace of course though right?, with a sheepish grin. Nokoro then recalled a note on Chief Konaro's desk while he was locking the war scrolls underground. The note was a reminder for him to announce the ominous Fire Nation invasion and the date written on it was today's date.
Oh, well tonight, Chief Konaro is going to call all the citizens of the Northern Water Tribe to this temple, and then he will announce the Fire Nation's approaching invasion. Anyway, I have a serious question to ask you. I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I'll ask anyway. Is Avatar Roku supporting the war, or is he against it? There hasn't been much news about him here in the Northern Water Tribe because the Fire Nation began to ignore it, along with the other nations. Also, have you ever seen him Firebend? If you have, it must've been a very magnificent sight., Nokoro said with a curious, interested tone.

Maiku lowered his arms in a submissive motion, and he flames receded.
"That felt good." Maiku declared.
"What did you guys think?" He asked?
