''Ha! what's the matter? Scared to meet me head o-aaaaaaaah! ouch! shaaarp!'' The cocky boy tripped over his opponents foot and flew through the air, landing right in someone's rose bushes ''Sorry miss Chen Ghen!'' He called through the window of the nearby house.

Jin rose up, spitting out a rose pellet that had landed in his mouth and removing some sharp thorns from his skin ''Y-you suck! What was that for! I thought you would teach me something there!'' The boy complained loudly ''Those things were sharp and I'm pretty sure those roses are be repaid with my allowance!''

Was this guy really out to teach him something or just to toss him into stuff as revenge for the failed theft ''That wasn't a combat move you just did there!'' He crossed his arms and pouted...which looked strangely endearing.

Ran shuddered. Did he just imagine that?....he DEFINITELY! just imagined that! His sister wouldn't fall for that bloodthirsty mute!

The caves were unfortunately largely devoid of snow so Ran would have to make due with two flasks of water. Inside interiors waterbenders often had to rely on the quality of their bending rather then the quantity of water near them. On his own that may have been a problem but now at least he had six people to fall back on, one of them being his beloved sister. Ran would be fine.

''Empty'' Genki noted ''This does not seem like a command cabin...is this a trap?''

''Near'' was all Falco said. The bird on his shoulder roared the way it normally did when an enemy was nearby.

''Okay, we have to be careful here'' Ran took a deep breath ''Sister, you and Sen should stay behind us, Genki, and Lee will take the front'' Suyin was an archer and Sen a lightweight meaning their best place was behind a good defensive line while Lee and Genki could be trusted to take the role of heavy hitters. Ran and Falco took place in the middle of the formation to assist Lee and Genki while also close enough the girls to step in should an enemy come to close.
