"Well, I'd say we should leave the island to search for whoever you're looking for, but if they're coming here, that probably isn't a good idea." Masaru shrugged. He didn't know what to do, and as the Avatar, that was a problem. He either had to stay on the island and hold off against Iluq's forces and risk getting captured by her, or find the White Lotus escorts and leave the island and venture out to find Chit's contact. With the latter option, the risk of getting lost and not meeting the contact at all was very present.

He spent a moment in silence, weighing the options and coming to a decision that he hoped his master would side with. The Avatar he might have been, but he was still a kid in the company of Chit Zao and the escorts. "I think... I think we should leave the island, but stay close if that contact of yours decides to visit.  Aren't there some islands out west by the Earth kingdom we can lay low at until we can get with your contact or whatever?"

Meanwhile, in the middle of the ocean in between an unspecified Earth Kingdom peninsula and the eastern Fire Nation archipelago, a single figure strode across the water at great speeds, making their way quickly towards a small Fire Nation resort island.
