Rasir answered for her.
"Oh, well we met up near Omashu, just north of the Cave of Two Lovers, you know, that cursed cavern with the badgermoles, anyway she met my wife here," he nodded his head towards Malu, "Were on our way to Ba Sing Se to visit some relatives of hers and decided to travel together since they hit it off so well, and that was about a day or so ago..." he smiled at his own cunning.

Orodreth continued to go along with Rasir's charade. "What are you going to do after your trip to Ba Sing Se if you don't mind me asking?"

From far off in a tree Tankou saw the group near the fire. He was glad that he had found a stray group as he had been lost for quite some time now, and his food had been gone for a few days now. He had barely resisted the urge to drink the last of his water as it was his only real weapon. He stumbled over to the camp as fast as he could, falling short only a few yards away, and passing out from exhaustion...

"oh, well, We're kinda playing ti by ea..." he trailed off as he saw the man collapse a few yards from the fire. He ran over to him.
"Are you ok?" he asked shaking his shoulders. He looked back to the others. "Someone get some water!"

Tankou opened his eyes a bit, and coughed a bit. He soon opened his eyes wide, and jumped back a bit...
"Who are you? Stay away from me!"
'Can't let them get the better of me' he thought to himself as he tried to stand, but but soon fell back down as he stumbled over his own feat in a half delerious, and fully fevered rage. As he lay on the ground looking at the others he felt as though he was on fire from the inside out.

Rasir attempted to pin him down.
"We're trying to help you!" he half yelled.

"No... Have to... get... away... Must... not... stop."
Tankou's breath was very heavy, hot, and full with his fever. His skin practically burned with exaustion... Finally he stopped struggling, and layed still.

Sa Ra tried to imagine his explination of the Southern Air Temple, but couldnt. "Wish I could see it." She told him. She was glad Rasir answered for her, but had to keep herself from laughing. When the man staggered towards the camp, she watched in alarm. She quickly got a large pouch of water. She stood over the two, and said gently, "Shh, stop yelling. It is going to be okay." Several bird sounds were mixed in, even though she didnt realize it. "Here, drink." She held the opening of the pouch to the mans lips. She didnt give him too much. Sa Ra ripped off part of the bottom of her skirt, then using the pouch, moistened it. She gently put it against his face, then called Mako. He scurried over from where he had been watching nervously, and with a few instructions from Sa Ra, started to pull on the mans legs and arms, to get him to lay flat. Then he went near the mans head and started to purr, as to calm the man down. Sa Ra gave him some more water, and moved the scrap of cloth to his neck. "He has a fever. Doesnt look good." She said. "We cant make any sudden movements or loud noises." Sa Ra got her blanket from where it had been laying on the ground and, using Mako to raise his head, placed it under his head. "You dont have to worry. Your safe now." Sa Ra said to the feverish man. Her hair had turned a soft yellow.

Tankou opened his eyes to look at Sa Ra. He coughed bit, and looked up at the people around him.
"What happened? Who are you? Why is it so hot here?"

Orodreth said nothing as the man appeared. Now there were more people to make his plan even more difficult. He did his best to appear helpful and softened the ground that the man was laying on enough to keep him in relative comfort. He then removed his cloak and slowly covered the man's body. "Hopefully it isn't too bad."

Rasir got up from the newcomer and pulled Orodreth aside. He got very serious.
"What is it that you want?" he asked, checking to see that his braodswords were still at his waist, and when his hand brushed against the hilt it stayed there.

Orodreth moved closer towards Rasir "The one who sent me wishes a meeting with you. He told me where I was to escort you, but I know little else. I will say that the purpose of the meeting concerns your bending capabilities and also that you will be faced with a choice when the time comes. There are no hostilities intended in this meeting if that is what is troubling you. I find it comforting that you are naturally suspicous. One such as yourself can not afford to trust everyone." He eyed the broadswords curiously. "Is there a way to convince you to come with me?"

Tankou slowly sat up, and looked at the twowho were talking to eachother. He felt much cooler, and strangely hydrated.
"Excuse me, where am I exactly?"

Rasir looked over Oredreth's shoulder. He would let Sa Ra deal with him for now.
"Where would it be at?" he asked, curious now. "And how long would it take?"

Orodreth remained focused on Rasir. "There's an island just a few miles off of the mainland. The one who sent me dwells near the shore. The whole trip should take a week, maybe more, if all goes well. I have a ship in my possession for at least a while longer which will get us to where we need to go." Orodreth remembered Jiro. The pirate king would be wanting his ship returned to him soon. After this was done, Orodreth could return the ship and figure out what to do next.
