[IC] ~*~ The Rise of the Air Benders~*~ (deathslawter and themadhatter420)

[themadhatter420]

Nami laughed when he asked how much they would do today. "We have a few more sets to do. When the Sensi asks us to wrap up we do three minutes of basic ti chi than we will head to my place." She said smiling brightly at him with still a blush on her cheeks. The thought of him meeting her parents was strange even for her.

[Deathslawter]

Xin was happy with that. "Sounds great to me, Nami. What's next on the list of workouts?" Xin said a little too eagerly than he meant. It had been a while since he had been to anyone else's place, and especially a pretty girls. But would her parents be there...?
Xin is good with parents though. He's never had a problem coaxing parents into liking him. He was a good guy by heart. Hell he should be, he's the Avatar!

[themadhatter420]

Nami smiled. "Okay lets do some kicks." She said changing her stance with one foot in front of the other holding her arms up close to her body. She than kicked forward with her back foot shooting out blue flame into the air.

[Deathslawter]

Xin nodded his head, trying to understand it before he tried it. "Seems easy enough," xin grunted. Not a few seconds into the stance, however, he lost his balance and fell over. Needless to say, he was quite embarrassed. It took him 2 or 3 tries to finally get the hang of it

[themadhatter420]

@Deathslawter

"You can do it Xin. Just keep your breathing steady like this." She said as she took louder slow breaths so he could hear them as she kicked forward shooting out a small blue fire ball. "Now you try that. It will help build your chi and hold your stance steady." She said placing hands on his hips pushing him down to a 90 degree angle with his knees. She blushed as she touched him with out even thinking.

[Deathslawter]

Xin's eyes strained from lighting up at her soft-skinned touch. For a fire-gal she's got amazing skin! Xin thought, trying not to be too obvious. He found his body moving with hers' into position. When she kicked, he kicked. When she shot out fire, Xin managed a stronger, red flame to her blue flame.
"I think I am getting used to these breathing techniques," Xin said happily to Nami. "Are all the fire-bending moves helped with the person's use of chi? I heard it had a lot to do with rage."

[themadhatter420]

Nami tilted her head back and forth trying to think. "Those are pretty ancient methods but yes Rage can cause your fire to become more powerful. It leads to a negitive outcome though. With Rage, the fire is even harder to control and maintain." She said as she could see the master hold up his hand and blow a whistle. "Time to do the ti chi. Do not try to use any fire with these skills. This teaches you just breathing." She said as she stood in a straddle stance again.

[Deathslawter]

Xin was surprised. "Wow already? Alright they smiled and practiced their breathing and to chi, steadying their breathing in sync.
Xin wanted to talk but he didn't know if were allowed, and he couldn't lock eyes with Nami without alerting their instructor.
Without meaning, he lightly snapped his fingers and sparked a flame like a lighter. Nami looked at him curiously and he mouthed the words, "still on for going to your place after this?"

[themadhatter420]

Nami saw he was trying to get her attention. "Yes." She said softly so no one else could hear as she kept moving to practice her chi. She started to do more advanced moves as the other students repeated the simple moves. She wondered if Xin would try to follow here to them. She kicked directly straight up at a full 180 degree angle before leaning back doing a backhand round off slowly.

[Deathslawter]

Xin studied her movements and tried to copy them. To his regret and humility, he once again fell on his ass.

For a moment he looked dumbfounded, then he laughed and got back up into position. They went on with their food, xin finding his balance the more he practiced.

I thought earth bending stances were difficult, xin thought to himself, beginning to sweat.

[themadhatter420]

Soon a bell rang out and all the students bowed to the master before leaving the training room. Nami smiled walking up to Xin. "How you feeling? Ready for the real work out?" She asked with a laugh as she could see he was sweating a little from the Thai Chi.

[Deathslawter]

Xin blew out his breath and smiled, panting "A real work out? Well, if you think you can keep up," xinahook his head and stretched. "So what's next, Nami?"

[themadhatter420]

Nami laughed when he said if she could keep up. "We walk to my place." She said as headed out of the training area. She headed on the gravel path taking a breath of fresh air as she walked. "So where are you from Xin?" She asked smiling. "I know its not the fire nation by the way." She said smiling at him.

[Deathslawter]

"Yeah... I'm from the earth nation. But there's no real reason to live there if I'm not a real earth-bender." Xin said, covering up the fact that he could bend both to his will. "How long have you lived here?"

[themadhatter420]

Nami smiled. "That's true." She said with a giggle. "I have lived her all my life." She said as she headed past a huge jade gate leading up to the huge mansion she called home. "Welcome to my house." She said waving an arm to show him.

[Deathslawter]

Xin's eyes opened up wider than ever before in his life. this is her home?!?!
Xin thought to himself, unable to believe this was her freaking home. "Are you serious? Are you like, royalty or something??" Xin was so taken back that he couldn't speak, let alone walk. He stared at her, then at the mansion, then back at her.

[themadhatter420]

Nami let out a soft sigh as he said she was super rich. "I am a descendent of Firelord Zuko. But im not a princess. Im his great neice." She said smiling as she pushed open the door.

[Deathslawter]

Xin smiled big, it was time to hit her with a bomb-shell. "Hey, I'm related to one of Zuko's old friends!"

Xin stopped after the door and let it hit her before doing anything. The house alost stopped him in his tracks, the place was freaking HUGE!

[themadhatter420]

Nami tilted her head. "How do you know my great uncle Zuko?" She said with a laugh curiously. "He has been dead for about 15 years." She said as she lead him through the house.

[Deathslawter]

"Oh its not that I myself personally knew him . . . Well I mean I did, in a way, but my FAMILY knew zuko. Aang and Korea, to be specific." Xin winked at her and let the information sink in.

In the meantime he looked around the room in pure awe. The place was amazing!
