Vivian snorted. "Only those of the fire nation." she said bitterly.

Kobold leaned against the tree thoughtfully. "I wonder... maybe even they fear themselves."

Vivian laughed again. "Only the ones on the lower end of the social ladder. And the few deserters we-they have." she said, her smile confident. She mentally crossed her fingers that Kobold hadn't caught that slip. But at the same time, she cursed herself. There was no way anyone could have missed that wonderful little slip of hers.

"Hmm," Kobold thought a bit. She had deffinately caught the slip. "So which are you? On the lower end of the social ladder, or a deserter?"

"A deserter." Vivian admitted after a few moments of tense silence. "Unfortunatly I used to be higher up on the social ladder, so i'm probably not the safest companion to travel with." it was the same thing she'd told everyone else, and everyone else had left. Vivian had too many people searching for her and the reward that would come from turning her in. She didn't want such troubles placed on anyone else's head.

Kobold shrugged. "I'm probably safer a companion than you, but I am still looked for by several people. And many of those do not really know me. If I have a companion, I can avoid those. And you may be able to gain the same advantage. So, what do you say, Vivan?"

Vivian thought hard, but she already knew Kobold was right. Having a companion would throw everyone off the scent. She'd no longer be a lone fire-bender traveling alone, she'd be one of two wandering girls. She nodded, a smile blossoming on her face. "I think you have a deal." she said leaning on her staff.

Kobold nodded. "That's good. So, since you're from the fire nation, I'm assuming your a fire bender?" Kobold, who could not bend any sort of element, knew that having a fire bender on her side would be a great help. Even if she had trained herself in combat so much that by now she knew how to defeat many earth and fire benders. She'd never practiced on a water bender or an air bender, so she didn't know about her skills against them.

Vivian nodded the affirmative. "I'm good too. That's why they search so hard for me. If I wasn't a bender, they couldn't care less about me deserting."

Kobold sighed. "I am not a bender, but that does not explain why people are chasing me. I cannot give you an answer to that question."

Vivian nodded, she hadn't been entirely honest herself. "That's fine. Everyone deserves to keep their secrets." she shivered in the wind. "My first suggestion for our little journey is that we find somewhere away from a town where we could camp with a real fire though."

Kobold nodded. "I was heading towards the town for a supply run, and to get lost in the crowd. But now I have found you, and if you have supplies, then that becomes priority."

Vivian shifted her bag onto her shoulder once more. "I did my suppy run a few days ago. But with two of us, what I have will barely last a day. We can either go now or wait until tomorrow."

Kobold shrugged. "With the cover of darkness we can steal what we need easily, but in to board daylight, they will not suspect thieves. I am comfortable with either choice. It is really your preference, as I know nothing about that town," she said pointing. Thought Kobold would not admit it, she'd rather find sleep then go tomorrow, but she did not wish to admit such weakness now.

Vivian yawned widely, then blushed. "Maybe we should just wait." she said wth a small chuckle. "And like you said, they won't expect a thing during the day."
