"'Weird stuff'," the swordsman parroted in exasperation, letting an involuntary chuckle out at the kid before shaking his head. He may as well try and answer to the best of his abilities. Jun rubbed his chin, trying to dredge up the oldest of memories from his uncle's militaristic training. "Well... if [i]you[/i] want to stop a firebender, you stop them from moving. They can create flames with their hands and feet, so you need to lock down or cut both of them... uh..."

He trailed off. How [i]did[/i] earthbenders take folk like him down? When he fought a Fire Nation soldier, he just overpowered them with his sword and redirected their flames, not that it was hard.

"I tell you what," Jun decided, hoping that he wouldn't ever regret his next words. "Tomorrow you come find me in the inn or – wherever there's alcohol in this town – and I'll teach you a few bits on how to take down the enemy." Gensu wasn't as big as he expected, and the inn (or at least, the building he supposed was the inn, judging from the warm light emanating from it at such an ungodly hour) was the least impressive building he'd ever seen.

Reaching into a coin purse on his belt and pulling out a few to hand to the kid. "Plus, it's got to be better than pickpocketing right?" He moved to take his supplies back, throwing them over his shoulder with a grin.
