Escape

"No need to follow me like a dog, they're not going to bite" said Kouzai pointing to the others.

"Uhhh....right...Well...." Kozzan answered, giving a curt nod. He took a few steps back, leaned on a wall, and look from person to person, nodding politely in greetings. "I'm uh...I'm Kozzan..." He introduced himself in an akward manner, taking the staff from his back, and leaning it against the wall beside him. He had no idea what to think of the group, nor what they thought of him.

"You said that allready....look is there something you're here for?" asked Kouzai "Or do you always sneak around the Earth Kingdom like this?"

"S-sneak? I'm not Sneaking....I'm retur...uh....going home. Back to the Capitol. I keep hearing that their is a rebellion...but not who's side its on. I want to know more." He answered, shifting from foot to foot as he spoke. He looked around to room to see if he had answered in the wrong way.

Dakota watched as Kouzai disapeared into the shadows. He shook his head as if to forget about the strange power. A few minutes later Kouzai came back in the hut closly followed by someone else. Dakota listened as Kouzai questioned Kozzan. "Its not uncommon." he said to Kouzai "There are lots of people traveling the Earth Kingdom." He looked over a Kozzan "Dont worry. As he said we dont bite. My name is Dakota." Kozzan said sommething about a rebellion. Did he mean the Exchange Corps that Kouzai talked about? Dakota was only getting more questions then answers.

Kozzan gave a quite sigh as Dakota introduced himself. At least he doesnt make first impressions physical, he thought. "Nice to meet you. Oh! uh...hold on...." Kozzan exclaimed remembering something. He walked to the entrance of the hut, poked his head out and made a sharp, peircing whistling noise. He waited for a moment looking around the sky. There was a soft thwump noise, and Kozzan brought his head back into the hut. He was followed by Zoz. A small, rowdy-looking short-eared lemure, who, on spotting the others, jumped up onto Kozzan's leg and climbed, perching on his right shoulde. He peered around the hut at the others, then made a noise in Kozzan's ear, who snickered a bit.

"You're heading to the Capitol huh? May as well stick with us, we're heading that way anyway" he said.

Kozzan raised an eyebrow in intrigue. "Really?" He asked, keeping his excitement contained. "That would be cool. That way...there's a less chance the last bender of my clan will be wiped out. Yeah. I'll come with you guys. What about Zoz here," he asked, pointing at his small companion.

Dakota's lemur, Momo, looked up over Dakota's shoulder at the other lemur. Dakota patted Momo on the head then looked over at Kozzan. "I dont see why not. He never had a problem with me having Momo.?"

Kozzan sniggered, and scratched Zoz behind his ear. "Well...looks like your in too, bud," he said, and Zoz answered with a screetch of thanks. "Is there anything i need to know, though?" he asked the group
