Mizu just walked silently listening to their conversation. He wasn't sure what to say to it all, so it was best to just keep his mouth shut.

Shinzo smiled, "no it was my fault. i said it without thinking. just keep it a secret though, please. i prefer to be like everyone else when i'm out here. makes me feel like i can actually be normal." he laughed at the thought of being normal and looked at his new friend again. "would you mind if we see eachother like this more often?" he asked, then realized how wierd that sounded and blushed. "um, well, i didn't mean anything rude by it...."

gemini laughed."you really have a way with words.yeah,it would be fun to play ouy the story of aang.i know it well,since my mother was descended from him.i always admired prince-or should i say fire lord- zuko.he overcame many hardships,both outside and inside himself.i know that story,too,for my own father was decsended from him.oh! but please don't tell anyone that! i must not be found untill i find the avatar!"

"So now within our little traveling troupe we have one descended from the very chronicles of history herself. A key player within the story? Or something more? A star player perhaps. Though probably not the romantic interest if the new Avatar is also from the old." She then rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Although, if the Avatar is not, then you just may fit that role! Oh how fitting it would be, past intertwining with the new. In more ways than one." Musa stated with a large grin and nudging Mizu.

"Though I suppose there is nothing saying that the new Avatar, if there is one out there, couldn't be a female. Then you might have a chance Mizu."

gemini blushed,slightly confused by all of this."actually...for some reason,i think it's a guy...i really want to meet him..." she said shyly.what was this nagging feeling she had? and why did she blush every time she looked at mizu? she tried to cover it up."um...avatar aang was born of the air nomads,and the cycle goes air,water,earth,fire...so,my guess is that the new avatar would be born to the water tribes." she said.she had done her reasearch.

"Uh, sure," Mel replied, not really sure what he meant by 'like this.' Like this as in just happening to run into each other? Well, she supposed so, seeing as it sounded like his visits to normal people life weren't always predictable. It was nice to have a friend, though. "Ahh, no harm done!" She assured him. "And your secret's safe with me!" Not like anyone thought anything she said was worth much anyway.

Mizu just smiled at Musa and continued walking. Then they started talking about what element the avatar would have and he started bitting his lower lip, a habit of his when he got nervous.

All Shinzo could do was smile. He had made a friend outside the palace walls and she was beautiful and a fire bender. "Well, friend, shall i walk you to wherever it is that you're going?" He emphasized the 'friend' as he looked into her eyes.

gemini looked up at mizu and noticed he seemed nervous."um...mizu-san...are you ok? you're biting your lip and you radiate nervousness.and i think your lip might be bleeding." she said worriedly.had she said something to make him uncomfortable? why do i care? it's not like i've ever cared before...not like i like him or anything... and yet a small part of her screamed denial.

"Mizu's of the water tribe! So who knows, maybe he knows the Avatar. Maybe he is the Avatar." Musa laughed jokingly as the looked at Mizu and Gemini. The glanced back and forth before a big grin split over her face.

"Ah ha! I knew it." She said, pointing at Mizu suddenly.

"You two have been struck by that poetic creature called love at first sight! The blushing, the lip chewing, that's it isn't it? The tumultuous romance! Oh this is wonderful, the story is progressing better than I could have ever hoped!"

gemini's face turned several shades of red."w-w-what?! n-no! th-that's not it al a-all!! i-i mean,it's not th-that i d-dont l-like...that i-is..." it was as if her words were boobey trapped,and she was falling for every one.with each word her face got redder.she cleared her throat."er...so,mizu-san,you're water tribe? s-so do you know the avatar? it would be helpfull.you never know who it might be,you know.from what i've heard,avatar aang was someone who no one would ever have guessed was the avatar." she said,trying to cover up her feux pas.((french for foot-in-mouth))

Mel gave him a friendly smile in return. "I'm just headed back home for now, but you may walk with me, sure." She turned around away from him and the jewelry stand and started walking in the direction of her home. She was glad she'd found a friend, but she didn't feel comfortable with continuing her shopping while someone was over her shoulder.

(( i shall reply tomorrow.... too tired now....))

((kk,no prob.i'm headed to bed,too.))

Mizu looked at Musa, a little confused of where she was getting all her thoughts from. Then he smiled, "No, i was just remembering how i forgot to say goodbye to grandmother...." he said, covering up his own actions as well. "but nothing i can do about that now... poor grandma..."

Shinzo smiled, "I would be honered to walk such a lovely young woman home." with that, he started walking right beside her, looking at all that there is to see as he did so.

gemini sighed,glad that he had let that go so easily."so,um...mizu-san...do you know the avatar? it would be really helpfull if you did,since i really need to speak to him." she asked,not wanting to push.

Musa's face fell a little bit, though she did give Gemini a slight look, eyebrow raised.

"Well, alright then. If it was just your Grandmother. You know you could always write her a letter and have it sent. As for knowing the Avatar, that would be awfully plot advantageous." She turned back to him with a happy expectant look, excited to hear what his answer might be.

Leon sat on the outskirts of an old fire nation mountain city. It was quiet and boaring he missed life whith people but he could no longer go back without being hunter. It was a bad idea for him to even be this close in the first place to a city but he didin't mind he lived a life of danger and a little bit as of now would be no problem for him.

((er,hello?))

((i'm waiting for Starr.... ^^;; sorry... ))

((oh,ok.i was waiting for you))

((i know.. sorry!! T^T))

((s'okay,as long as someone replies eventually.i've seen to many rp's die this way!))

((hmmm.... ya.... ))

Mizu gulped trying to think of a way out of this. "Uh... I havn't heard anything about an avatar. he's probably keeping a low profile... you know... so that he doesn't get bombarded by tons of people...." he stated after clearing his throat. then he smiled at the two girls with a fake smile that said "i'm telling the truth, see?"

gemini raised an eyebrow at his obvioulsy forced smile,but let it go.if he wanted to keep a secret,it was fine with her.he's tell when he was ready."oh,ok...well,we might as well search along the way..."

"Sounds like a plan to me. And you know how stories work, he'll be in the least likely of places and have some big reveal when he shows up. If he exists right that is. Who knows?" She then looked pensively at Mizu.

"Though you're a horrible actor. We'll have to work on that if we want to perform the story. Acting is simply lying you know, but knowing just how to make the lie truth."

"Who said I was acting???" Mizu looked a little confused and offended at the same time. He then sighed, "Yes, I'm sure we'll run into him along the way."
