Market (OPEN TO ALL)

Arwa roamed though the busy market streets, her eyes barely watching where she was going. She was known to trip over the occasional broken stone, or small crack, and the few who knew her, usually called her a klutz. Arwa bumped into an old woman carrying groceries, and they toppled over slightly, and Arwa caught most of the items with her hands and then quickly sped off. Her feet bolted though the endless streams of people. Trying not to hit other people, and she ran into a nearby flower shop. Then pretended to be interested in the flowers long enough to take a breath.

"Welcome to my shop, are you looking for anything?" The store keeper quickly said with a 1,000 watt smile, Arwa but her lip slightly and looked over at the dying flowers in the corner. They looked so sad, wilting slowly, and the owner could not do anything but watch. Unless she breathed, bended, life back into the plant. She quickly said,

"What about those flowers over there in the corner?" Arwa asked, and the shop keeper lost her smile, and didn't even need to see the plant to know it was dead.

"She was sick for a long time, I tried to bring her back from death, but it was taken' her." He said this with a heavy sigh and went to the others who had just entered the shop. Arwa walked over to the sad plant and took out some of her water, and wet the plant. Next, she started making small motions with her arms, getting some control over the plant, till she was fully in control. She let the roots drink the water, let the leaves absorb some sunlight, and stopped the plant from wilting. Arwa quietly left the shop, knowing the shopkeeper would be happy to see his plant.

Arwa continued down the street to a nearby tea shop. Nothing special, decorated in jade dragons,green and gold silk tapestry, and comfortable hardwood tables with heaters to keep your personal tea pot warm. Well, it was special place. You could buy the tea by the pot, and then keep it heated while you drank it. Usually the shop was busy, but it seemed calm, slow, and quiet. Very quiet, but soon again the noise grew. Or as much as it can in a tea shop. Arwa just sat down at a nearby table and seemed to stare into space.

The young firebender with gray hair and a huge smile walked into the market looking around. "Their has to be something interesting in this city." He sighed as he was itching for some sort of excitement, whether a fight, or an argument; Akiba only wanted something fun and daring for his day. He clenched his fist together and let his sharp teeth gnarl as he had the look of excitement drawn upon him.

With an apple in his hand, and a small crate under his arm Yurra walked around the market, in hope of finding a fight and getting to know some people to hang out with. “It is a shame I could only afford this apple. Maybe I shouldn’t have spent all my money on the box of tea.” He thought. As he stopped to look around, he saw a young firebender standing at the entrance of the market. He looked really exited, with a big smile on his face, a balded fist. Yurra was curious to find out about what the boy was exited for, and stepped towards him.

Akiba moved his hand to behind his neck noticing the man stepping towards him. "huh?" He questioned why the man was walking towards him as his smile slowly depleted. He noticed the afro on the man and saw how the wind direction would redirect itself towards his stance. "You're an airbender aren't you?" He let a small flame ball circle his hand as he crushed it making his hand burn a bit. "I'm Akiba, inventor of the Yuki fighting style!"6

"Ha ha, keen eyes, fire bender.”
Yurra said laughing.
“I quite like you already. I was wondering, what is it that you are so exited about? I am looking for something interesting to do myself, and thought, you must be up to something. So, who are you going to fight? what prank are you going to play? Oh and by the way. I am Yurra Tobi, new here in town, just like you, I suppose”.

(OOC: I wont be able to post on a really frequent base, the next few weeks, so it can take a while for me to reply or post.)

He lowered his guard slowly relaxing his face. "I'm Akiba Yuki, as you can see I'm a firebender." He looked to the man looking in the corner of his eye. "I'm looking for anything actually, just the fact of fun or a rush could make even the most dull market into a festival I suppose." He smiled off as he looked towards the airbender again. He had a weird air flow running against his body and reflecting off. "You can't be a normal bender..." He whispered to himself as he tried to find out his true secret.

Akiba let a small flame spark from his fingers all the way to his other hand before crushing it and looking at the newcomer. "Earthbender?" He questioned as he had the look as if he played with rocks and earth in his spare time. He adjusted his body as he let all of the heat in his body synchronize itself before continuing conversation.
