Sepa heard screaming coming from outside his open window. He sighed heavily while grabbing his glider-staff and cloak. [B]"Well that sounds like a great welcome"[/B], he airbent the large window open and jumped out of it, unfolded his glider and flew on top of the building. He followed the screams but only managed to catch a last glimpse of what was obviously waterbending and a couple of shady looking men scuttling away, soaking wet and limping. Sepa folded his glider and gently lowered himself down into the alley by directing an airstream to the buildings on each side of him.

The hood still in place, he landed in front of the lady whose eyes were closed, obviously concentrating and panting. He slowly pulled the cowl of his cloak back as he gently gestured towards the woman, blowing a gentle breeze in her face. [B]"That sounded like one hell of a bending-show. Too bad I missed it"[/B]. It was only then that he saw what she held in her hand: A strange diadem of sorts that he had never seen before. He added that to the clearly uncomfortable state the woman was in and realized what that device might have been. He decided to take the diplomatic approach, rather than to judge her head-on.

[B]"Are you alright? My name is Sepa, I come from the Southern Air Temple and... I'm new in town."[/B] He looked at her smiling and then gestured around him, [B]"So. This looks like a friendly place, who do I have the pleasure of talking to? Besides a waterbender ofcourse"[/B]

Sepa knew that there was no reason to judge a person upon first impression or their possessions, but rather wait and see what their aims are.
