Masaru wanders around The Lower Ring. (Now Closed, sorry folks!)

Masaru looks around, he sighs, "Not much of a fight, but pretty good for a warm up I guess." he says looking from unconscious body to unconscious body as he sheathes his set of claws, "You know, I didn't need your help Siri, but I am quite thankful for it." he says stepping closer to the girl, no intentions on his mind, "If there is anyway I can repay this debt kindly tell me, now I do have one quick question, do you know where the old orphanage used to be? If it is still running anyways." he asks the girl and he looks around the abandoned street for anything familiar, he sighs as he finds nothing to be familiar at all, he slowly turns his head to Siri to see her response.

Tai coughed gently, as he walked along the sandy surface. His pupils resting beneath as he looked upon a distance. A violet stream of glistening light fell upon his hollow eyeballs.

From a distance seemed to be a duo. Surrounded by a devilish group of thieves. He approached a broad long chord made of earth and lightly sat upon it, coughing up constantly along his motion. While from the distance, he eyed the group. Fixing it coolley upon the two.

Masaru's ear flicks gently to she sound of coughing, his head swivels slowly around to look at Tai, his eyes narrow to get a better look at him for a second before turning back to Siri, he stands there patiently waiting for her response, his hands resting in the pockets of his pants where he can easily slide down to grab his claw weapon if needed, he takes a quick look around with his eyes before fixating them back on Siri.

Tai coughed yet again. He realized he had gotten the attention of the tad. And tugged his left arm behind, gripping his hip and sliding his palm into his pocket. Staring blankly at the child with partial grin.

"It's Rude to look at people and not speak to them. Y'know." He spoke. His pupils rested beneath the sockets of his hair, still glaring at The child. Toothily grinning. He divided his sight towards Siri yet again.

"And who is she?"

He asked while at the process of leaping into the surface, his desire of conversing with them increased minutely. As he zipped his eyes towards the two. Remaining upon guard for any surprise attacks. Perhaps.

Masaru sighs and looks back at Tai, "Why don't you mind your own business and leave us be." he says turning completely to stare Tai square in the eyes, the eighteen year-old fighter seems unaffected by the stature of the stranger, he sees many weak points to aim for but simply leaves it at words and wait for him to leave.

------------------------------------------------------------

Eyed The Eighteen Year old Teenager. Widely enclosing his vision at the duo.

"Oh?"

He wobbled under his breath, calmly stating.

Masaru glares down the seventeen year old, "I said... Buzz off." he spits out sending a weak kick directly at his chest, sending him backwards a few feet, it wasn't intended to hurt, just to give him a warning shot.

Masaru cranes his neck until it cracks on both side and uses earth bending to push the unconscious thugs out of the way, he stands normally facing Tai with his left hand down to his side and his right hand stuck in his pocket, "Last chance, leave." he spits out to Tai.

----------------------------------------------------
Noticed the disrespect and stared at the fluid flow from within The eighteen years old tongue.

Trailed shortly was a forceless kick, which Tai did not bother to evade. His eyes quickly retracted, while at an instant, he leaned lightly behind, his body blurred across some distance between him and the man.

"An EarthBender. . . Hm." He thought aloud. Before taking several steps back, intending to leave. While as he covered a distance. A patter leaped from his lips.

"You're some hot-headed one. I will leave you alone with whoever she is." Tai squinted. His left eye winking towards the teenager. As he leaped upwards, landing atop a boulder. And abruptly backflipping from his mount to escape. From behind, he began running. Set off to a different location.

Masaru's muscles relax from tension, he slowly turns back around to Siri, "So do you know where the old orphanage is or not, Siri?" he asks calmly and nicely, not wanting to offend her in any way, both of his hands now return to their respective pockets while he looks at her with his mixture of a green and a blue eye.

Siri watched as the strongarm group's leader scampered off into the alleyway. Good, he'd spread the word more. She rolled her shoulders and turned, walking back towards her temporary assistant. As she passed the still-cursing firebender from before, she delivered a swift heel-kick to the back of his neck, and he fell blissfully unconscious. That was when the guy thanked her for helping him.

"Helping you?" She chortled, crossing her arms. "I was planning on taking them all on myself, you just blundered yourself right into their path. Helping you was incidental, I assure you, so don't feel indebted."

When the new guy appeared, she sighed and shook her head. Immediately, she just turned and started walking down the street away from the two of them. If either of them were actually interested in helping, they'd catch back up. She had no interest in their bout of challenging each others', ahem, masculinity. Looking towards the rooftops, she gave a light whistle. A little, furry figure dove off the roof and opened its skin flaps, floating down, zipping around her head, and then landing softly on her shoulder. Out from under the same building, another creature darted for her leg, running up it and perching on her opposite shoulder. Her pets affectionately nuzzled at her for a moment before hunkering down and enjoying the ride.
