Kalira sat straight up in bed. She had heard a Fire Nation tank. She went to the window of her large bedroom, and stared out at the forest. She raised a rock to her second story room, and stepped on it. She lowered herself to the ground, carefully going into the forest. It was a full moon, illuminating everything. She saw some tanks and soldiers, heading to Omashu. They must be preparing for something major there. Or they were going to try to overthrow it again. She walked slowly to her room, and laid back in bed. She stared at the ceiling, waiting for daylight. When it did come, she rose and left her room, ready for the day. Who knew what it was going to bring. The moment she stepped out of the building, a group of children ran towards her. "Show us what you have learned!" They shouted. "Not right now. I am going to get some breakfast first." Kalira headed to the food stall across the street. Her town was a one streeted, small town, not a big tourist town. She liked it that way. Every once in a while they got some people heading to Omashu, but that was it. They had a small inn, where she stayed.

Shino was on his way to Omashu but decided to stop at this town to rest. There weren't many people here so he figured it would be pretty boring here. He began looking through his stuff trying to find something to eat but then he remembered the second reason he stopped here to restock his supplies. Since he had no food with him he decided to find a place to buy something to eat. Shino walked up to a food stall he started looking around when he noticed a girl standing next to him "Hello" he said politely turning toward her and smiling.

Kalira had noticed this man, but didnt recognize him. She smiled in return. "Hello, and welcome to my village of Jusin." Kalira said. "My name is Kalira." She had what she wanted for breakfast, and she was about to pay when the owner said, "No need, Kalira. You know it is always free." He smiled at her, and she sighed. "I know, but I always feel guilty." Kalira knew that he always charged more for whatever she chose, until he had his money back. Things got tight around Jusin. She turned to the man. "Do you have a place to stay? The building across the street is an inn, and they have some vacancies." Kalira was going to say more, but the swarm of kids came. "Kalira! You have to teach us what you learned!" They demanded. "I am talking to someone! I will show you later!" Kalira told them. They went off a few feet, but still stayed close. She sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Nice to meet you Kilara my name is shino" Shino replied to her then he thought about her question "No i don't have a place to stay" he said kind of embarrassed "OK I'll go there later but first I wanted to have a look around" as he said this Shino noticed a group of children swarm Kilara and she told them she would talk to them later "Oh I'm sorry did I interrupt something" Shino asked ready to apologize.

Kalira laughed. "Oh no. If anything, you have saved me. See, they are always pestering me to do things for them, like teach them any earthbending I know. It gets annoying, and I am always thankful for an interuption." She explained. "Nice to meet you too, Shino. So, on your way to Omashu?" She asked. Kalira watched out of the corner of her eye as the kids left, one by one. 'Good, maybe I can get the afternoon by myself.' She thought. "If you want anything, dont be afraid to ask. There isnt much to see here, it is all pretty simple." Kalira said out loud. She saw the village was starting to come to life, even though it was all pretty calm. Kalira spotted two of the town elders. "I am sorry, I have to go. I cant let them see me!" Kalira said quickly. She snuck behind the food stall, and called out, "See you later!" Before running into the forrest.

ok Shino thought as he saw Kalira run into the forest Shino continued looking around the little town to find something to pass the time. He decided to find an empty spot to practice his earthbending. He headed toward the forest and found a clearing with not a whole lot of trees. Shino got into his stance and began lifting rocks off the ground swirling them around and throwing them at a nearby tree to improve his accuracy. He had been doing that for a while and a big dent had formed int the tree he was tired so he softened the ground under him and sat down to rest for a couple minutes so he could start again.

Kalira had been sitting in a tree when she saw Shino come. She watched as he earthbended, sending rocks at a tree. When he sat down to rest, Kalira started to send small rocks at him. They didnt hit him, most went flying by. As Kalira was doing this, the children came, thinking it was her that was earthbending. "Aw, its not her." They said, but when they saw the dent they looked in wonder. "Did you do that?" One of them asked in an astonished voice. Kalira hid her laugh, not wanting to be discovered. Finally, she wasnt the special one. They found some one else to idolize. Kalira wondered how long he was staying.

Shino looked up as the kids came over to him. "Yeah i did that" he told them he stood up and smiled "watch this" he shifted his feet and disappeared under ground then popped back up a few feet away he couldn't go to far underground because he didn't master it yet but he was working on it. He walked back over to them and let out another smile it always made him happy when he earthbended "what do you think"

The kids cheered and jumped up and down. "That was great!" They called. "Do it again!" "Maybe you should teach Kalira! She cant do that yet!" "Can you make a earth you?" One of the kids asked. Kalira laughed at her spot in the tree. He was going to get this all day. She wanted to leave but didnt want them to see her go. She watched instead as he earthbended, and the kids cheered him on. "I wonder how big his ego is going to get." Kalira said to herself.

Shino watched the children cheer "I'm not that great there's a lot of things I can't do I'm still learning" He looked at them "besides it's getting late why don't you find Kalira I bet there is a lot she can do I can't" He was trying not to sound egocentric he tried to be very modest. He started to walk off towards the exit of the forest "see ya" he said to the kids

The kids grumbled as he left, but went to the town to find her. She rose a rock, and rode it down to tghe groujnd. She went to where she saw Shino leave, and dropped down in front of him. "Hey, thanks. You saved me from them, at least for a bit." Kalira said. She knew she was going to be in trouble for being late to her training, but she didnt care. The kids ran over to her, they had found her. "Kalira, your going to get in trouble!" They sang. Kalira rolled her eyes and told them to go and she would be soon.

"your welcome" Shino replied kind of confused since he didn't know he did anything. Then he noticed the same kids from before telling Kalira she was gaing to be late "late for what" Shino asked curiously he could feel light vibrations coming from some birds hopping around on the ground.

Kalira frowned. "My earthbending training. I hate when they make me do it all day." Kalira remembered she hadnt even aten breakfast. "Im sorry, I have to go." Kalira left, heading to the areana they had constructed for her outside town. She was in so much trouble and she knew it. She had never been late. Kalira passed through the town, everyone looking at her wondering why she was here when she should have been practicing. She got to the arena, and they immediatly began.

Shino watched Kalira run through the streets until she was out of site. Well now what He thought as he walked through the almost empty streets then he saw the Inn Kalira told him about well he might as well get a room now so he doesn't forget. He walked in the building and saw a women at the counter. He walked up to her"Hi how much is it for a room" Shino asked her "It's 20 copper" she replied that's almost all I have Shino thought as he reached in his bag for his money. "Here" he said to her as he put the money on the counter.

Kalira trained intensely until after sunset. She went, exausted and hungry, to the inn. "Hey Kaji, hows business?" She asked the woman at the counter. "Good! I made twenty copper today!" Kaji said. Kalira smiled. Shino was going to stay the night. She asked for his room, then went to his room. She took twenty copper out of a pouch she had, and slid them under. She went to her room, too tired to even eat supper. She fell into her bed and lay there. She was hungry but didnt want to leave her room. "Thats the last time I am going to be late. It is just too hard to make up for it." Kalira thought about what she had learned to do that day. Make a sculpture of a sort out of rock, good for a diversion.
