Eris Kiyoko
Eris sighed as she watched the Avatar and Asad walk away, and Jin and Xue find themselves a corner. It seemed everyone was hitting it off famously except for her…then again, to be fair, her introduction had been a little short and to the point. She supposed she hadn’t left a lot of room for conversation there. She did want to get to know the group but honestly wasn’t sure how to begin. She had spent so much time on her own she wondered if she even had acceptable social skills any more…and her being a fire bender did not help as she found a lot of people did not seem to appreciate her element simply because they assumed she was hot headed and rude.
Eris tugged at the ribbon holding her hair up and let it fall around her shoulders, intending on braiding it. She liked it down but knew it made her look more petite and girlish…basically as if she was no threat. She sighed and tugged her hair, a nervous habit of hers.
Eris’s stomach rocked with the boat. She hated water…well less hate, more fear. She knew how to swim but she also knew it was only so long before she could drown. She turned to the air bender and smiled kindly.
“Hello, Keirin was it?” Eris questioned even though she was sure she was correct. She distinctly remembered his introduction because of his complete calm. She almost envied him for it.
“It seems we have quite a charmer on the boat” She commented with a small smile as she watched Jin in the corner with Xue. She wondered how the whole situation would play out.
She kind of felt bad for the girl. Xue practically had a ‘Go away’ sign tattooed on her forehead and Jin just didn’t seem to get it. She wondered for a moment if she should try and rescue Xue, then realized it would probably be unwelcome. Xue could take care of herself obviously.
“Then again, she is very pretty. And courageous for admitting where her previous allegiance was….I feel as though she will make a good ally when the time to fight comes.” Eris said almost absent mindedly.
The boat rocked once again. Eris clenched her fists on the table, her nails biting into her hands, and a moment of paralyzing terror sweeping over her. She took a deep breath and relaxed her hands and forced a smile on her face.
