Tahnu Aangson's Story

Diaren sighed. The bandages on his arm needed changed again. The cut, however small, was bleeding profusely. Changing the dressing for the fourth time in as many hours, he supposed it was time to get to the meeting. He wasn't sure how much it was going to change things. As much as he wanted to help the rebels and see them bring his mother down, they were too small a force, and too spread out to do any good.

Once again he sighed, realizing that mulling over it wasn't helping anything either. So he headed out, catching sight of Tahnu. He raised his hand in greeting.

"Any new news, Tahnu? And how many are we expecting today?"

Vincent walked around the streets of Empire city. He wasn't used to such a large amount of people all living together in such a small place as he was trying to make his way to some Rebels meeting. It seemed like a good enough idea to join since he was sure to be able to make some cash from helping them and simply getting rid of all the fire benders that walked around and stuck their noses where it didn't belong would be good. The 'city guards' easily forced people to give them money and other things simply doing what they want because it was the 'law'. Vincent stopped infront of a fishiery, the place seemed like it hadn't been used in quite awhile and had seen better days. He pushed open the door to find an air nomad and someone else inside of the place. Vincent gave a little wave to the people, he had no idea exactly if the information about the Rebel meeting was correct or not and he had no idea of how to find out if they were the rebels that planned to stop the fire nation. "So is this where some meeting is supposed to gather?" Vincent asked the air nomad, he actually found it quite strange that if this was the Rebels that an Air Nomad of all people would be willing to fight as Vincent was pretty sure they took vows against violence or something like that... maybe it was all just rumours in the end and the air nomads actually loved to fight and kill.

Vincent watch as some guy entered after he'd already sat down. The man appeared to be a water bender as Vincent noticed small amounts of light reflecting off of the guy's hand, like how a basin of water with many ripples would reflect light at many angles but noticing the light wasn't always an easy task. It seemed Tahnu didn't like the look of this water bender and the water bender seemed a little too sure of himself in the current situation, something Vincent didn't exactly like with people. A new person soon arrived, a girl to be exact who threw off the robe she was wearing to reveal traditional water tribe clothing. She seemed fascinated at the male water bender and it appeared that she didn't even realise Vincent was here. Vincent though at this point had stopped his bending and put the sand back into it's gourd.

Tahnu questioned the water bender, the girl asked about keeping the water bender and then the water bender gave his name as well as alot of other words. Vincent listened closely though was quite annoyed at the fact that nobody had asked for the guy's life story yet for some reason Alexi seemed to think he should give it anyway. After Alexi had finally finished speaking saying he'd either join if allowed or simply leave and fight the fire nation on his own Vincent stood up, walked over, crouched down and closely inspected the guy. "Excuse me, Tahnu but if you don't want to take this guy's words then I'm sure I could find quite the buyer for a water bender. Even higher if they can bend using only their breathing," Vincent said thinking of a name or two for potential buyers and he was sure the water bender would even pay for Vincent to sell him to certain people so he could go and cause rampage in the fire nation. Vincent's merchanting ways were something to look out for. "Just kidding," he said with a smile standing back up but with a look in his eye that cleary showed he was full serious when it came to talk about business. "My apologies if I appeared rude just then," Vincent said and turned to face the water tribe girl, "Hello, my name is Vincent Ornitier, it is a pleasure to make the aquantice of such a lovely girl, I would be honoured to discover the name of such a beauty," looking directly into her blue eyes as he spoke to her.
