Nyima opened her eyes and looked at him, "You grew up in the country?" She shifted slightly to sit with her leg tuck to the side of her. She placed her hand back in the water "I can imagine that change was just about as drastic it was to come from the North... No big buildings... Not as many lights I'm sure."

He nodded in agreement as he looked back to the water, seeing the roles caused by her hand, "The lights I saw from the docks were the most beautiful things I had seen, until this garden... at least... They were. The men kind of ruined the sight."
She shivered slightly as he was sure she was remembering the night , "You know... how you said you would help me.... Do you think... That maybe..... you could teach me to fight? Like you did last night? So I can protect myself.... I was useless last night and I was surrounded by water," she rose her hand out of the water as a thread of it follow it. She sighed, "What kind of water bender loses a fight right by the ocean...." He looked at her as she dropped the water and looked at him, "Do you think you could? Then you wouldn't have to worry about me and I could get out of your hair... I'm sure you are already getting sick of me anyways...."

He shook his head and said, "I'm not getting sick of you. Don't even think that. As for teaching you how to fight, I can but it may conflict with water style. I'm sure I can find a few water benders that could help you.
He looked at her and said , "don't worry about that? last night How many years have you fought to really protect yourself? I've been fighting since I was eight."

"I'll do it, but not to get you out of my hair." He said with a smile. He then looked over to her. " I do have an extra room in my home if you wish to use it for now. It may be easier for you to be close for training."
