Su Lu! (Private)

Jian was flattered by her appreciation "Thank you, I will." he assured her smiling. She sat against the tree and offered him the spot next to her her sapphire eyes looking at his, and he looking into them "Of course." he answered happily and took the place next to her. The girl was admiring the beauty of the earth kingdom summer, Jian enjoyed the natural beauty of the world as well.

"Isnt it just magnificient?" He asked her with a sort of calm that was enlightened by the beauty of nature and its wonder. "In the air temple we learned the beauty and sactity of all things. Some things are of course more beautiful then others." he said smiling turning his head back to her.

She smiled warmly as he sat next to her. Her sapphire eyes shifted as she turned her head to look at him, meeting his eyes. "It is magnificent. "I love nature! I found peace in a forest. I felt love by a stream. I dreamt in a meadow. I danced across ice. I trained by the ocean. Nature is like my home. A whole new world." The words tumbled out of her mouth in a rush. Then she paused, a crimson hue rising on her cheeks as she felt she said something embarrassing.

"People are like seedlings." She said, trying to express a thought, "Until you know what you want for yourself, you're at the mercy of everyone else. You seem to have your goals in order. My road to success seems to always be under construction, and I'm about ready to start running over all these restraints. Setting goals gives us the motivation to keep going despite all of the obstacles that are placed in our way." She ran her hand along her leg lightly, trying to decide what she was portraying.

Jian's smile continued as he listened to her talk with such emotion and such ambition. She blushed with what seemed like embarrassment but he interjected "Dont be embarrassed, I think you're right. Being a monk nature and I must be in tune, a close bond between the wind and I. Like friends that work side by side, our chakras melding like two rivers meeting." hoping to free her of embarrassment and fill her with assurance.

Jian listened to her explain her views on people and how they are in life, he silently agreed with much of what she was saying. But because of his free nature as an airbender; he felt less burdened by being told what to do. Though hearing all of this feeling from her he understood and listened carefully to what she told him. Grabbing her hand in a motion he began telling her "Its true, we are at the wills of others until we figure out what we want, but your will can tear down anything that opresses those wishes. I think what you have told me is amazing Yu'ukina." he smiled at her turning his head facing her.

"You really think so?" She asked softly, smiling softly as he took her hand. Her head tilted backward as it leaned against a tree, gazing at him. "To tear down anything that oppresses my wishes?" She murmured softly, wondering what that meant. "I heal people. I give back what they have lost. " Her brow furrowed. "What is it like to be at one with the air?" Yu'ukina asked softly. "Is it different than being one with water, like me?"

"I do." he said smiling back at her. "Sorry, I didnt mean to make that sound so aggressive. What I really meant is to seek as you desire, and do not let anything stop you." He responded apologetically to her seemingly frustrated response to his tearing down comment. But then she asked what it was like being one with the wind, asking if it was like being one with water. He smiled gently "Being one with the wind... Is like letting go of worries, and to let all things flow; carrying things where they must go." he explained moving his other hand slowly sending the wind into motion, the leaves dancing in the breeze. "Water, is an indestructible; patient force. No matter what happens, it will always be back. No matter how much time it takes." he tried explaining.

A soft laughter slipped from her pale lips. Yes, it probably sounded odd after such a serious reply, but she liked what he had to say. His words. They were amazing. "You're right, they really are. You're so wise." She smiled warmly at him, a soft and gentle expression of comfortableness. "Besides the fact that they are different elements, they are almost alike. Strong, flowing, unafraid."

She gave his hand a squeeze and rested her head against the tree.

Yu'ukina laughed at what he said, smiling at him warmly "Thank you, but I have still much to learn." smiling back at her, matching her feelings of comfort and happiness. He nodded at her second statement "Yes, but of course there will always be the differences between them as well as the similarities." he answered squeezing her hand a little and laying the side of his head on hers.
