Zhang shrugged, nothing had happened. All he did was talk Suupo`s ear off and she probably just wanted to swat him off her back.
"Yeah, Suppo and I had a wonderful conversation. I think she ate a rock or two though." He told them with a smile, "I really wish I had a flying bison, but you guys probably dont give them to outsiders."

"No, we don't. Flying bison play an important part in our culture. When you're young, you are paired up with a bison who will become your life long friend and partner. Besides, the population of bison is still small, so we need to keep them to ourselves for, uhm, breeding purposes." Ishimaru said, giving Zhang a little lesson on Air nomad culture.
"Now then Suppo, I hope you were good for Zhang while I was gone." He said as he started to pet the big bison. He would have to remind himself to get some apples for her once they go to Omashu. There was only one question; how were they going to get into the city.
"Zhang, Avani. Do either of you know anything about Omashu. We'll need to find a way to get in without being seen. And bisons are not the most stealthy of creatures, no offense Suppo."
The bison just responded with a snort before laying down on the ground, tired from all the walking she had just done.

"Ya know I was thinking about that on the way over here. We could leave her outside of the gates and cover her up with something? Then we can use some of her fur to make you a wig and we can sneak in. Of course Avani and I will have to change up our clothing and stuff." Zhang suggested, he looked at Avani who was still silent. He had to wonder if something was wrong with her.
"That sounds like a decent idea." Avani replied, not too sure how well they could cover up a giant bison.

Ishimaru glared at Zhang when he suggested leaving Suppo outside of the city. Sure, Ishimaru may be a bit cold at times, but you did not mess with his bison. The rest of the plan was fine, but he was not going to leave her behind.
"Suppo is coming in the city, one way or another. I just told you what bison mean in our culture, and she is one of my greatest friends. The only reason I left her when we went in the cave was because I trusted you to keep an eye on her. I don't trust the world enough to leave her outside the city alone."

Zhang shrugged, he didnt know how else they would smuggle her into the city at that point. Avani had no ideas either.
"Maybe she should just tell them who I am, we can play along with them until I get an earth bending teacher then we could leave? Wasnt Avatar Aang a good friend of the previous King here?"

"But who knows if the current king is so nice. This upcoming war is being caused by both the Earth King and the Fire Lord, so this guy might be just as responsible for it." Ishimaru replied as he laid back on Suppo.
This plan didn't seem to be working out that well, and his head was still filled with thoughts about the 'incident' from earlier. Sure, his face wasn't blushing, but his stomach was still in a knot. He hoped it would be clear by the time they got to Omashu. All it would take to screw up their entrance would be for him to get distracted by one thought about Avani and then say her name instead of any fake name she used.

"Isnt the Earth King in Ba Sing Se the one with the say in what the whole Earth kingdom does? Gosh, I dont even know anymore... Maybe we could say Suppo is a gift to the King, that would get her in for sure. Of course we wouldnt let him have her, obviously, she just too cute to give up." Avani tried to hug Suppo`s leg, but her arms couldnt wrap around it. "Or we could always fly over the walls at night?"

"They probably would have a night guard..." Ishimaru replied, rather disheartened. He blushed just a little bit at Avani's comment about Suppo being to cute to give up.Suppo gave Avani a friendly 'little' lick.
"We might have to go with Zhang's plan, but we better get her inside the city as soon as possible...wait a second. How about this. We disguise ourselves as part of a travelling group of performers. Admittedly I'm not much of one, so I could claim to be a manager or something. Still, that gives us a good reason to have a bison, as most people would love to see one."

Zhang seemed to light up at the idea, he loved to entertain people. Avani giggled when Suppo licked her, the bison was so friendly. Yasuo poked his head up and let out a kitten like meow as he yawned.
"That sounds like a good idea, Zhang could be the fire breather and I could... well Im not sure what I would be good at." Avani replied, then she noticed him blush. She blushed, remembering what had happened earlier.

"Doesn't matter. It's not like we would actually be entertaining people once we were inside. We just find a quiet place away from people to set up as camp, and then go and try to find an Earthbending teacher." He replied, his blush now fading a little.
"So if we all agree with the plan, we should make our disguises here, and then head off to Omashu. We can fly there if you want."

Zhang took off his fire nation armor, and wore nothing but some standard black clothing. He found a couple of sticks for props, but he noticed Avani`s red face. His eyes followed hers to Ishimaru, who also seemed kind of nervous around her. Where they hiding something from him?
"But what if they ask? I could be Zhang`s assistant I suppose." Avani replied, she took off her larger coat and shoved it into her bag.

"Could be a beast master, what with Yasuo being your pet leapord." Ishimaru added in.
Ishimaru glanced over at Avani real quick as she took of her coat before getting back to his own stuff. He took off the cloak that airbenders normally wore, leaving him in his yellow shirt and orange pants.
"I could probably be a juggler. I'd have to cover my bald head though..." He said, noting he'd rather not do that. Still, if it would allow him to get into Omashu with Suppo, he'd manage.

Avani still had her eyes fixed on Ishimaru and didnt even notice Zhang staring at her. She began to stroke Suppo`s soft fur.
"Well if we wish to get to Omashu by nightfall we better get going now. You guys wasted a ton of time in that cave, I have no idea what you guys were doing in there but Suppo, Yasuo, and I were waiting for awhile." Zhang commented, as he climbed back up onto Suupo`s saddle, "What were you guys doing in there? You had a fully lighted way out of that cave, so it couldnt have been too terrible."

"Told you, badgermoles kept messing up the place. Blocking our paths and exits, so the layout was never the same." Ishimaru responded as he used his airbending to safely get himself onto Suppo's saddle.
"Anyway, as you said, we need to get moving if we want to get to Omashu soon. Mind helping Avani get up Zhang. I'd do it myself, but my, uhm...leg's make it so I can't really help." He said, trying so hard to keep himself from blushing.

"...Mmmhhhhmmmmm...." Zhang didnt seem too convinced.
Zhang narrowed his eyes when Ishimaru seemed to stumble on his words after mentioning Avani`s name. But he got down and helped up Avani anyways, despite her saying she could get up herself.
"What are you two hiding, you`re not one to stumble with words Ishimaru." Avani didnt say anything, in fear that she would let it slip.
