"Uh..." Noa spaced out in a blush. "Your welcome?" He grinned to himself form the gratitude she gave him. He could get used to her. "But wait!" he thought to himself. Getting all this attention from her seemed almost....too easy. In a way it brought back several memories.
He remembered other situations that started just like this...and everytime the situations happened, something very weird would happen to him.
There was that one time he met this woman at a local market who was extremely friendly. But she kept asking him how much money and such. Then the two decided to stay the night together at a tavern. And when Noa woke up, the women was gone and coincidently all his money went missing. He spent the rest of the day back tracing his steps of where he could have possibley dropped the money while wondeirng where the woman had gone.
There was also another time he bumped into an beautiful damsel who jumped into his arms and told him that she had been robbed of her possession. Naturally Noa went off to seek justice by breaking into a merchant's home and taking back her priceless jewels. He had quickly gave the woman her possessions and protected her from the oncoming mob. But the weirdest thing; the mob, blinded by their fury, stated that it was Noa who had stolen from the merchant and the the possessions were his. Noa objected and turned to ask the woman of her claim, she had mysteriously disappeared (with the possessions) and Noa had to spend several weeks in jail and community service. Though Noa didn't hold a grudge on the community he always told the locals that they had frightened that woman to death which was why she probably never returned.
And the most recent strange scenerio was back at the bar when the woman asked for a drink and she was just as interested in him as he was of her. But again, something went wrong, and she was found by her boyfriend (which he was sure she was trying to avoid or forgotten about him or something) and was earthbended out of the bar.
He squited his eyes at Hati who was preoccuiped by the other women. This time he was going to make sure (at least try) nothing weird would happen again.

((Oi, did I miss a lot ^^'))
The sand sailor didn't stop and it soon quiet down. Kyi looked back, watching the small figure get smaller and smaller until he disappeared completely. She sighed and said under her breath, "Heartless people,"
Kyi averted her attention back to the people that were still on the sand sailor. She could guess a few of their names now...Fenny, Matsu, Hati, Noa...she intently listened to each conversation for a moment, just curious. A bright light came from where Hati and Noa were sitting. She squinted her eyes to see what it was and finally realized it was a crystal. Hati took the crystal and gave Noa a quick peck on the cheek as if it was nothing.
Kyi yawned and stretched out her legs. There was just enough room to straighten her legs entirely without disturbing anyone. She sighed once more, thinking, This is going to be a long trip. Soon, she went back to thinking about Jiro.

Saiki was now biting her lip so hard that it was about to bleed. Who does she think she is, insulting me like that?! Her eyes instinctively squinted when Noa took out the crystal and when her eyes had re-adjusted she saw Hati looking at her curiously, examining her face. This was too much. She sighed and in an icy voice said, "Would you cut it out with this stupid fashion idea of your's? I'm not interested and would appreciate it if you would stop examining me like I'm some hunk of meat."

Lucky for Noa Hati was not a crazed muderer. Just...difficult. Hati was taken a back by Saiki's remark. "But your tall and you are really pretty, I'm sure you would be great! I would have asked Fenny, but she wouldn't let me pay for that wonderful hat." She waved a hand, but decided to retreat from Saiki's face and then go and press Kyi. However after that incident with the skull she was reluctent to go walking around the sand sailor. Hati waved the crystal around hoping to attract Kyi's attention. "You! Over there!" Hati called loudly.

Noa watched as Hati bopped about in cramped space, she was most certainly passionate about her goals. He turned to the woman she was previously speaking with(Saiki), noticing that Hati had really annoyed her. He couldn't blame Hati for being really excited about the trip, but he also couldn't blame the woman she having that crystal right in her eye. The light could give one a headache if you look close at it for so long.
He crept a bit closer the woman and to tell her, "Sorry about my friend. She's just really really excited about the trip...I suppose."

Saiki watched Hati leave gratefully, then sighed as Noa came over to talk to her. Why didn't these people just leave her alone? At least he seemed a bit quieter than that Hati woman. She shrugged in response to his statement and closed her eyes, hoping that if she pretended to be asleep they would pay no attention to her.

Kyi looked up when she heard the sudden yell. Hati was waving the crystal around frantically and seemed to be calling her. Slowly, she got up and walked over to her, accidently bumping into a few people in the darkness. When Kyi finally reached her, she muttered in a rather rude tone, "What?"

"You look like you could use a new wardrobe." Hati started seriously as she studied Kyi closely. "I'm going to start a fashion business store once we get to Lotus City, would you like to join? You could be a model, goodness knows you could use the money." Once again, there she was bringing up money and how poor everyone was compared to her. "Noa here is going to help me too." She nodded towards Noa. Of course Noa had never actually SAID he would help.

Noa saw the woman was tired (it was getting late) so he quietly trekked back to sit at the same spot. Getting a bit thirsty Noa popped the cap of his waterskin and a narrow stream of water started pouring out, in the air. The tiny stream levitated and formed into a small bit size sphere of water. Closing the waterskin, Noa was about to slurp up the watery globe when he heard,
"Noa here is going to help me too."
"Huh?" Hati's quote caught his attention successfully away from the floating water which then splashed onto his lap. "Help here...with what her business?" He thought to himself. "Oh no, it's happening already. The 'weird thing' that usually follows an easy relationship! But so soon!"
"Uh...Hati." He called out to her, "I, uh, I don't know if I could make such a commitment. I'm not really familiar with your...field. Plus I don't really plan on staying at Lotus City..." He hoped that help clear some things.

"Nonsense!" Hati turned and beamed at him. "You can also help me learn how to water bend better, oh please, right?" She batted her eyelashes at him, she was obviously not used to not getting her way. There might be trouble for Noa if he disagreed.

"Oh yeah!" He said cheerfully. He almost forgot about offering to teach her some of his techniques...but now that he started to get to know her, he doesn't know if they'd be of any use. As he already mentioned, he never had the proper training and the techniques he are more aimed as survival skills and what not. But he can't assue she wouldn't ever need the skills.
"Well I guess I could help out while I show you some skills....for the time being." he ended with a shrug.

Ryu turned to Fenny, silent for a moment. Then he spoke, "And how much do you know of this man, not to mention myself, to be telling me that he fought for me?" His piercing green eyes shone a little, and then for a moment he seemed to be looking right through her rather then at her. "...To be telling me that he fought for my family?" He glanced back at Yasu briefly, and collected the small stones in his hand, and then looked back at both of them. "I don't feel I'm being a bully. I'm simply asking questions."

"You look like you could use a new wardrobe. I'm going to start a fashion business store once we get to Lotus City, would you like to join? You could be a model, goodness knows you could use the money." Kyi made a loud "Uh!" sound as she put her hands on her hips. "How dare you!" She retorted, "My outfit is perfectly fine. And secondly, I am not poor."

Fenny stood strongly beneath his gaze, unwilling to let up in her efforts to help Matsu. She did not answer the man's questions outloud: her eyes could tell the man what she thought of him for trying to belittle an earth kingdom soldier. She believed all those who went to fight the fire nation willingly did so to protect their people. What could a soldier possibly gain personally for going through that sort of hell? "Then I must be mistaken. If you are merely a gentleman who happens to be asking questions, you'll be courteous enough to find someone else to question." Fenny pulled Matsu away from Ryu, moving through the luggage and sitting down near Noa.

"It seems like you have a lack of proof to back up that statement." Hati said with a slight smirk as she looked at Kyi's outfit, forgetting temporarily about what Noa had said.
Matsu found himself being led away by Fenny, its not like he could have stopped her if he wanted, she had hold of his only arm. Just the same though he looked sullen and inside a tiny seed of guilt was sparked, here Fenny was defending him for helping "her people" when in fact he had probablly killed her brother or relative. He looked away and refused to look at anyone else.
