By that time Avani had several apples in hand that she had begun to put in her bag, she turned away from the large table and looked at the solider. As much as she didn`t want to run, she didn`t want Ishimaru to get hurt fighting her battles again. She nodded her head and quickly made her escape.
"We always seem to run into trouble..."

"I guess thats sort of what we get travelling with the Avatar, hey?" He said as he followed behind her. The soldier seemed to have no clue about their presence, and in fact he soon left after receiving no information from the village.
However, neither Avani or Ishimaru probably knew that. Anyways, Ishimaru kind of wanted to leave the place anyways. Without the use of his legs he couldn't really do much in the way of partying, and he knew Avani probably wouldn't enjoy herself if he was there. So for everyone involved, it was probably best they left.
"Hey Zhang, we're leaving." He said as they got back to the clearing where Suppo was, in case the Firebender wasn't informed of the change in plans.

"Get in trouble already?" The fire bender let out a laugh as he joined the other two as they got on the giant bison. Yasuo had beaten them there, and was already curled up and waiting for them. Avani reached into her bag and pulled out a couple of apples and held them out to Suppo with a big cheeky grin, her eyes sparkled because she had always wanted to hand feed one of the giant bison. Zhang climbed up onto the saddle and waited for the other two.
"So what did you two do this time?"

Suppo sniffed the apples, sending small gust of wind right into Avani's face as she did so. Before she could enjoy that pleasant experience, however, Suppo's tongue scooped up all the apples in one shot, leaving Avani's hand completely covered in bison saliva.
"I should have informed you of that before you fed her. She can be a messy eater." Ishimaru said as he worked his way to the top of the bison. Once he settled down onto the saddle and grabbed a hold of the reigns, he answered Zhang's question.
"We didn't do anything, but there was a Earth Kingdom soldier with a wanted poster with what looked like Suppo on it. I just didn't want to risk anything by staying around."

Avani stared at her saliva covered hands with wide eyes, it didnt bother her much at all since she was used to the feel of slimy fish but it was the thought of feeding a flying bison that blew her away (no pun intended). She shook off her hands as best as she could before using her coat as a towel.
"Oh, thats okay I dont mind. I owe it to her."
Zhang still had that skeptical look on his face as he raised an eyebrow and tilted his head a little to the right.
"Great so the earth kingdom lunatics are after us now? Perfect! Well... on the bright side we get to kick some butt right? Heh, works for me."

Suppo looked over at Avani, hoping that she would have more delictable treats. She almost looked sad when she saw she had none, and just went back into her usual state of content.
Ishimaru shook his head at Zhang's comment. The guy didn't seem to realize just exactly what they would have to deal with should they get caught. So when he began to talk, it had a tone of explanation as well as condemnation.
"Where there is one soldier there are more, and I rather not have to fight an entire squad of Earthbenders. Besides, that would only make them want to chase us more. I suggest we simply leave the area and hope eventually they calm down. Besides, if we get to Ba-Sing-Se, maybe the king there will revoke any warrant on us.

Zhang looked away for a second and exhaled deeply, obviously Ishimaru couldnt figure out a joke if it slapped him in the face. He ran a hand through his hair, chuckled, and shook his head.
"I was kidding Ishimaru, geezzzzz. No need to get all freaky on me."
Avani looked sad that she didnt have anything else to give Suppo, and knew she wouldnt want the seal jerky so she went to get up on the saddle so they could go some place else.

"I would think by now you would know I lack a sense of humor." Ishimaru grumbled as he ordered Suppo to lift off once Mai was. He wanted to get out of there, and quick. They had the city of Omashu to get to afterall.
((Time Skip................))
Eventually the great city of Omashu began to appear in view. It was still a good long ways away, and he could only see the top of it. There was still a mountain range between them, and sadly if they wanted to sneak into the city they would have to go through it.
"All right Suppo, land gently alright." He said, with the giant bison following. They touched ground near a small pond, and Ishimaru laid back tired. He glanced over at the mountain range that lay before them.
"Well, I got some good news and some bad news. The good news is that Omashu is right over that mountain range. The bad news is that if we want to avoid being seen, we'll have to walk right over those mountains instead of flying. So I suggest we eat lunch here and rest up for the long trek."

Once they landed Zhang stretched himself out before looking at the large mountain, were he spotted a huge cave. He wondered how Ishimaru and Avani managed not to see the massive opening in the mountain, but he pointed towards it.
"Hey check it out, theres a giant gave. I bet it leads to the other side of the mountain."
Avani glanced up and looked to Ishimaru, and airbender probably wouldnt want to be underground, especially Suppo.
"Would Suppo be okay if we went into a cave?"

Ishimaru had the same thought as Zhang about the cave. He didn't notice it before, and probably wouldn't have if Zhang hadn't pointed it out. If it went to the other side of the range, then they could easily get to Omashu without being seen. But Avani did bring up a good point.
"I think it might be best for all involved if Suppo stayed above ground. I don't mind going under ground, even in this condition. But she's a bit claustrophobic. Zhang, you wouldn't mind taking her would you? If they're still after us, they'd be looking out for me and her. I would suggest you change out of Fire nation clothing though. I think I have some spare clothes in my sack."

"I dont mind at all, hopefully Suppo likes me enough to listen though." Zhang replied as he stroked her fur. Yasuo stuck his head up wondering if they had decided where he was going to go for him already.
"Maybe Yasuo should stick with those two, just incase anything happens. Yasuo and I have a really strange connection to eachother, so if something goes wrong I`ll know." Avani commented, smiling at her snow leopard as he poked up his head.

"Alright then, I believe we have this settled then. The animals will go with Zhang since they aren't the ones being chased, and we'll go through the cave. Just make sure to meet us at the other end okay Zhang. We shouldn't be too long okay."
With that, he started to grab some supplies for the spelunking. He made sure to grab a some flammable material so they could have some makeshift torches. Sticks weren't great, but that was all they had since Zhang would not be available.
"So like I said, I suggest we eat up first before going our separate ways."

"Right right, I`ll light your torches before you go. It`ll save you the trouble from doing it the old way, even though Avani might be able to. Water tribesmen make fires often dont they?" Zhang asked, hoping he had gotten his facts strait.
Avani nodded her head and said, "For the most part yes, the men do most of that sort of thing though. I saw my father trying to teach my little brother so I might be able to if they go out."

"Don't light all the torches at once. Just light one, and when it's about to go out we'll light another. Do it all at once, and no light for the entire cave." Ishimaru spoke up when he hear them discussing the torches.
He had already gotten his stuff together and was giving Suppo some last minute treats before they headed off. She needed to be in her best condition if she was going to be walking over the mountain range instead of flying. He wasn't that hungry, so he decided to save what would have been his lunch for later.

Zhang ate something he had kept in his bag from the air temple. Avani didnt eat anything though, but she dug around in her bag for any thing that she could give to Suppo. All she found was a piece of bread. She offered it out to Suppo.
"Will she eat bread Ishimaru?"
