"Then do you need a place to stay? I have a little shack near here." Stesha realized the risk she was taking. Lee could still be loyal to the fire nation and could easily contact Prince Zuko and they could take away Mao and Orma, but she asked anyways. "Im cooking lunch now."

"Thanks! Would you like me to help make lunch?" Ina asked.

"Sure, this way." Stesha walked towards the hut and as she neared the door, she heard Oram and Mao talking,"Where is Stesha? Its poring out there." It was Oram's voice. Mao responded,"She'll be back, just calm down, she saw a tree explode, what do you think she's doing? Going on a stroll?" Stesha opened the door and wringed out her hair. "We have some guest, Lee and Ina."

Lee bowed politely, as did Ina.
"My name is Lee Zhou, and this is Ina, my.... Friend." Lee said awkwardly.

Mao walked over to the door, wearing the traditional earth bender uniform, brown pants and a green tunic. His dark hair was wet and he looked at Lee and Ina with his dark green eyes. Oram came over next, he was wearing the same clothes as Mao but his hair was sandy blond and his eyes were blue like their mother. They held out their and to them, but Oram hesitated, seeing Lee was a fire bender.

Lee shook Mao's hand. "It's a pleasure to meet you." he said.
He locked his gaze on Oram.
"I know what you're thinking, but I'm not one of them. I am a firebender, that is true, but I'm not bad."

Stesha walked in, her clothes dripping water onto the floor. "Welcome to our humble hut. Make yourself at home, I'm going to dry my hair." She walked to a small back room and grabbed a small towel, wrapping it around her hair. She looked out the window watching the rain. Stesha moved her hand, making a ball of sand appear. She wasn't a strong bender because she was never taught how. At times when she got really mad, the ground shook under her.
She caused an earthquake when Prince Zuko was in town once. She was going to get food and Zuko was looking for the avatar. Why did they need to know where he was? Why would their small town know where he was? She had millions of questions, and then a fire bender walked up to an old beggar and caught his sleeping bag on fire. She turned around and threw an apple at him, and then there was an earthquake. Everyone started screaming and the fire benders looked around, trying to find who caused it.
Stesha shook herself out of the memory and watched the sand ball get huge then explode. She took off her towel and walked back out to Lee, Ina, Oram and Mao.

Wildfire whinnied as Adra tried to calm her down. Tolka wasn't being very helpful, just following Wildfire's haphazard gallop. "Woah... WOAH!" Adra cried.

Ryuu-
"No problem, I love lending a helping hand." He said happily as he started working over the wood cook stove. "Would you like some tea?"

~Ratna~

At the sound of a lightning strike Ratna rose from the table, "Quite the storm, if I don't tether blue he'll run away and get lost..." Ratna looked about the small shack, the floor was dirt covered in some placed with hay to serve as bedding. "I don't suppose I could bring him in could I? He's good indoors, just lies down in a corner usually so he wouldn't be any trouble."
