Zhou noticed a twitch in Mizuki when he explain that he would be around until he could deliver her back to the northern tribe. A twinge of a smile came on his face.

"I'm sorry, do I misunderstand you? .... " She looked around for a moment. "Uh, "Kuei" is to carry who? Who is Kuei?" She blinked frowning as she looked to him. "I'm sorry I don't meant to offend.. it seems that Zhou and I arrived slightly late to the party. We had something pressing that came up that took our attention for a bit, so I seem to be behind on who is who?" 

He looked towards the window and saw an armadillo bear looking through the window... He placed a hand over his face as he easily put two and two together when they said Ride Kuei and now that Mizuki said this he felt embarrassed, He cleared his throat while touching her shoulder. "Um... Mizuki" when she would look at him he points at the window where Kuei is looking in. " I believe it's him." 

He looked at the blue haired airbender for a moment. He never saw someone with blue hair before... It was interesting. He looked at Masuto who said they might have to resort to other travel means. He shook his head at this... All other kingdoms have become lazy and weak, while northern kingdom has kept with the past. "That's what walking is for my young avatar. " he touched his own legs. "Perfect for strengthening, and conditioning. Better for learning all styles." He looked around and said," That's why our soldiers are the most condition. And with these Rouge benders out and about now, some are powerful. You need all the training you can get.

Nyima made a face at the mention of wearing masks, "I hate those things... No better way of saying hey, look I'm suspicious, if you ask me."

He shook his head and chuckled. "Kind goes with us killing airbenders... And fighting the avatar... Kinda suspicious work. Besides you don't want your brother finding out." He said as he glanced at her. He wanted to make sure this life would not ruin her new chance with being with her family again. So at least ONE Of them had that...

She leaned back against the wall and looked at the house, "Matsen... He isn't the best. But he is good. Zhou knows how to deal with benders. Him being a water bender might through him off... And if we send in a non-bender... well they'd be toast."

He thought for a moment and his eyes narrowed. " Your brother is from a nation water benders how would that throw him off?"
She looked back at Rayn, "I'd trust him to keep up with them and bring back decent enough information on what you are doing... Then we could follow behind and wait for our chance to deal with her and the Avatar."

He nodded, " that could work... Probably send a squad in to test their mettle..." He moves away from the corner "Alright let's go get him."
