Ren made her way over to a merchant and lucked out. Food. she thought. After looking over his goods she turned around, trying to spot Tao out of the crowd. Dammit, Tao.. Where'd you go? she asked herself.

After locating their rooms in the inn, Hotaru went out to find the market so she could get new materials.

Ren continued to search desperately for Tao but gave up after ten minutes. Sighing she looked back at the merchant and then decided she'd come back later. She started to walk when she saw a few more merchants. Maybe he's over here somewhere..

Hotaru went over to a weaponry stand and looked over the swords, bows, and other devices. She picked up a spear and examined the sharp end of the weapon.

As Ren walked she saw Hotaru. She sucked up her pride and started walking over to her. "Get the rooms?" she asked casually.

Hotaru looked over from the spear and turned her attention to Ren, "Yeah. I got three." She put the spear back and picked up a bow and stretched it.

"You can shoot a bow?" Ren asked curiously. She remembered when she had tried but wasn't so good. Her thing was her bending but had basic defense skills with weapons if necessary.

The crowd finally dispersed and Tao found himself in the middle of a street lined with restaurants. I don't see them anywhere... He thought, I might as well get dinner and look for them. I hope they like curry rice... And with that, he walked into one of the restaurants.

Hotaru pretended to aim so she could get a feel of the bow, "Yeah. It was just one of those things I was taught in case for some reason I couldn't bend." She lowered the bow, "Archery, swordsmanship, all that fun stuff." Though there wasn't any hint of humor in her voice.

Ren raised an eyebrow and sighed. "I've sort of been trying to learn how to use swords along with my bending but no such luck." she shrugged, eyeing the different weapons each very carefully.

Hotaru picked up a set of daggers slipped into a suede belt pack. "Practice makes perfect."

"Thing is I don't really know how to use them. So practicing is useless." she said simply. "Tao uses ice swords, its easier for him to catch on. It's his element." she shrugged. Ooc: Later on when she gets more experience she'll bend metal

OOC: yah.
IC: Hotaru frowned, "No reason to be that pessimistic. I'm not always a happy camper as you can tell, but work on it." She placed the daggers back and walked around the tent to see what else was available for purchase.

Ren grumbled to herself and took a deep breath, wondering if she should even pose the question. "Would you teach me?" she asked finally, raising her head to face Hotaru's direction. Her green eyes then went back towards the weapons.

Hotaru directed her attention from a sword stand to Ren, "Teach you what?" She was taken by surprise at her question.

“Defense, offense, with swords.” She looked back up at Hotaru, trying to think of how else to word it. “I mean the earthbending part you wouldn’t be able to help me with but I think if I were to understand the basics in sword fighting then it would be a great deal of help.” She could hear the desperateness in her voice.

Hotaru blinked a few times registering the request. Then she smiled, "I guess I'm going to get two swords then.

"Yes! Thank you." Ren smiled and bowed slightly. This may not be as bad as I thought. . . she thought to herself. Then Tao came into her mind. "Well you may want to buy those swords while I go back searching for the man missing in action." she rolled her eyes.

Hotaru gave a nod and a warm smile, "Alright. See you at the Inn later. It's got green colored walls on the outside a few blocks from here." She passed on the information and went to look at the other swords.

Ren sighed as she left and looked at the crowds of people. "If I were Tao where would I be. .?" she asked herself and then chuckled. "Of course looking for food." she said and was off to look for him once more.
