Why not just continue on from this one? I mean, I think if people aren't hanging around we can just stick in a post that said they felt the group. Which isn't uncommon.

Jaya smiled at him when he agreed to continue on with her. She found herself far more excited than she thought she would be. She stood and grabbed her things, "Alright, well I haven't much of a destination..." She started to rummage through her bag before pulling out a map, "I suppose that is what we should figure out first."

She pulled out a pen and put an small X on the map over the location of the village that they had just been kicked out of. There were multiple Xs along the coast of the Earth Kingdom, all for places she was no longer welcome. She pointed to just south of the town, "We can continue to travel south from here... There isn't a town too far away and then we don't have to travel too far inland," She looked at him, "There are a few Fire Nation communities along the coast... I somewhat hope maybe the people around them are more willing to accept than those further in land."

Lauralye sighed a little, knowing well that they would have to go back when he said. They'd both receive punishment if they were caught, his, however, would be far worse than her own. She nodded her head, "O-okay."

She decided it was best to take in everything she could while she was still able. The sounds, sights, and feeling. She wanted to remember everything about this moment.

Lauralye smiled and tried to looked up at him as best she could, "It's amazing!" She told him, a grin on her face. She glanced back at the streets below, "I just.... Wish I could actually see them... Meet them..."

She watched the people she'd one day rule. People she didn't even know. What did they sound like? Did they sound like the dignitaries that visited the palace. Or like David with his strange accent. She wrapped her arms around herself as they flew, the crisp night air biting into her skin. She didn't say anything though, not wanting to have to go home.

Jaya nodded to Nikko when he thanked her for the bun, "No problem at all. Although, I don't think it was much of a fair trade."

She smiled and bit into her apple again, enjoying the flavor until there was nothing left to enjoy. Her hand went up in flames again and she tossed to the ashes to the ground. She wiped around her mouth, making sure there were no juices clinging to her lips. She looked at Nikko when she finished, "So..." She said quietly as she glanced at her bag, "Are... we... continuing on together? Or do we separate here?"

Staying together didn't sound too bad. Nikko seemed nice enough and didn't mind her being from the Fire Nation. Not to mention, she had been travelling alone for so long that maybe making the trek with someone would make it easier.... Of course, she didn't want to make Nikko feel like he was obligated to stay with her...

Lauralye pulled her eyes away from the ground for a moment to look up at the sky in front of her. Flying was a strange feeling. Something that was completely and utterly different from anything else she had experienced. She thought it might be like standing in a high window on a windy day. Those thoughts, did not prepare her for this though. She looked at the stars for a moment before returning her attention to the ground below her. She smiled, enjoying seeing the world that she had been watching from windows for so long.

Lauralye gasped a little as they took off into the air. Despite preparing herself for it, she wasn't sure what to expect of flying. It was terrifying in a way... Seeing the ground below and know the only thing stopping her from falling to her death was Robert. She trusted him though and took in the sights around her. She could see people wandering through the streets. Drunk men stumbling, mothers calling their children in, scolding them for staying out so late. She could lives playing out before her and it was amazing.

Lauralye nodded and walked over to him, standing in front of him so that he could get a hold on her. She looked out to the city in front of her and smiled, soon she'd be able to see the people in it for the first time in forever. She was going to be outside the stuffy castle and to make it all better, she was going to be flying. She bounced a little on her feet before she looked over her shoulder at Robert and smiled.

Lauralye looked at him, "Well, I'm sorry... You do not have much say... No one but my father has a say in what does or does not happen in this marriage. I don't believe you... ill viewing of him will sway my father's decision any.:

That night Lauralye dressed in pants and a black shirt. It was incredibly uncommon for her to be in pants. She did not enjoy how it was that they felt. She much preferred dresses and society preferred her in them. However, for tonight, she did not see that as an option. So, in her dark clothing, she looked at Robert as she pulled back her hair, "Ready?"
