Jun nodded slowly, rising from his chair with intentions of going towards the bartender to see about renting a room. After a moment of hesitation, however, he asked, "Can we take the kid with us?" The swordsman fiddled with the hem of his shirt. "If he was trained, he would be... useful." As he wandered back to the bar, taking out another few coins (reluctantly, as he'd already spent more than he bargained for) to pay for his room, Jun kept a careful eye on Magrus, wondering whether or not he should tell him about the earthbender. No. He had to keep some things up his sleeve for later, just in case he was found out for being a firebender. It was enough reason for them to lynch him, he knew. ------------------ Suyin pouted half-heartedly, knowing that her brother was right. "I suppose so... when you put it that way, I must agree." She opened the door, peering at the troops outside briefly. "But. We'll take a squad of four." Hastily, she added, "Four [i]excluding[/i] us. So six. More people attracts more attention, and if they make a chokepoint in the passages..." She shrugged. Really, Suyin didn't know why Ran preferred cautious tactics over aggressive ones -- risky ones. Sometimes (most of the time, as General Zhang's children) it payed off. Plus, there was something exciting about the prospect of being held hostage and having to escape. Solo. It was like one of the fantasy tales her carers had taught her as a child; it could be made into a tapestry! Stepping outside, she called, "I'll assemble a squad. Can you take care of ordering the rest and meet me when we're about to disembark?" Quickly, she spotted the female First Officer who she [i]definitely[/i] wanted in the tunnels with them and chased after her.
