"Sorry about the cat everyone. He's probably just cranky from not having any fish," Ishimaru 'explained' as they walked by people as Yasuo started hissing. It seemed a reasonable excuse to have a mad cat, so people left it at that. Eventually the strange sight began to draw less and less attention, and people began to get back to their lives. With no one really giving care (other than not wanting to get squished by Suppo), they were able to move on.
Eventually Ishimaru spotted a hotel that had a section that looked like a stable. It looked decent enough, and it was on one of the lower levels of the city, which meant they didn't have to keep going up and down the place trying to get to it. Finally, it was off on a side street so they didn't have to fight crowds.
"So what do you two think? Should we stay there?" Ishimaru asked, pointing it out.
--------------------------------
"Wonder what's going on over there?"Ayumu wondered as she heard a massive commotion nearby. She was on one of her usual trips outside of the palace, and had decided to spend her time on the lower levels of the city near the gates. The hustle and bustle of the area was more interesting to her than the rather stuffyness of the palace. At least down here stuff happened.
She was currently laying on some rooftop, but once the commotion started she jumped down to take a look. It was a bit of a shock to see a flying bison. Unless you were at an Air Nomad temple, you didn't see any. The group in front of it had a person that looked like an airbender, but lacked the tattoos. The other two looked like a waterbender and a firbender, but also lacked the usual looks of people from their nations. She had to investigate, so she quietly began to follow them.

Yasuo`s ears flipped back against his skull. He kept looking behind the group, as if somebody was following them. Avani didnt expect Yasuo to be so paranoid, normally he was very friendly but he must not have felt very comfortable around all of the people of the earth kingdom. But even then Yasuo knew how to behave, so something must have been up. Avani kept herself alert and close to her kitty companion.
"Yeah, looks like a nice place." Zhang commented, scratching his bearded chin, "Dont let me influence your decisions though, I`ll be outta your hair soon enough."

"Alright then, let's check it out."
Ishimaru stepped forward to head to it, but noticed that Yasuo was acting up. About the only time he did was when there was something up, something that could possibly hurt Avani. He stepped to the side a little so he could lean in on Avani a bit.
"Hey Avani, is something wrong with Yasuo? He is acting rather strange, is he not?"
----------------------
Ayumu froze when she saw the cat acting strange. Did the thing notice her? She hid behind a barrel, only peeking out to see if there was anything up.

Avani stroked Yasuo`s fur and glanced back. From the way the giant cat was acting she could easily tell what was up.
"Somebody is following us, Yasuo could smell who ever it is from the time we got here." Yasuo snuck off with Avani even noticing, finally he was putting some of his feline skills to use. He planned on sneaking up on the person, then everybody else could corner them. The cat snuck around and behind the girl behind the barrel. Yasuo let out a growl as he lowered his large head to her level.

Ishimaru nodded when Avani mentioned they were being followed, and started to turn around to see if he could spot anything. His eyes followed Yasuo, who eventually growled at something behind a barrel. A young Earth Kingdom girl started to stand up nervously.
----------
Ayuma kept an eye on them all, but panicked a little when the cat disappeared from her sight. She started to turn around to make a run for it, and met face to face with Yasuo.
"Uhm, hey there kitty. I didn't mean any harm." She said as she slowly began to stand up. Her 'nervous' behavior was faked, as she knew she could get out of this situation rather easily. She felt Ishimaru's eyes drilling into the back of her head, so she held her hands up to show them she was unarmed.
"I didn't mean any harm in following you all. I just heard all the commotion and..."
Ishimaru spoke to try and interupt her, but the next thing he knew she was flying in the air right over them. His eyes followed her before going back to the barrel, which had been splintered to pieces by a rock column. That meant only one thing; this girl was an Earthbender.
"Hey, wait, come back..." Ishimaru started to run, forgetting about his legs for a second. He stumbled for a moment, and then used his breath to push himself back up. By then the girl had run off.
"Great, we find an earthbender, and she runs off. We'll have to ask about her at the hotel...after we get a meal. I'm sure you all have been wanting a hot meal since you haven't had one since...I'm not sure when actually."

Yasuo returned to his kitten like behavior and began to purr again. He wrapped his giant tail around their legs and trotted off to go see what Suppo was up to. Avani on the other hand stood silently, she had never seen anybody earthbend before. She had accidentally earth bent a pebble before, but it didnt do anything.
"I guess we just dont look that friendly."

((since my char was approved (barely), I'll start posting... no one minds, right?))
Kongya watched from the shadows. The fact that the cat could sense proved somewhat entertaining for Kongya. Continuing the risk of being discovered might've been interesting, but hunting the avatar was much more interesting. For the better entertainment, Kongya would have to be patient. Instead, he instructed Kay to follow them. He figured a hawk wouldn't raise too much suspicion.
Kay opened his wings and rose high above the avatar and her friends, while Kongya slipped back into the shadows...

"Well then, I guess we should finally get that room, and then see about getting a meeting with the king." Ishimaru replied as he made his way towards the inn. There was a small crowd of people watching the scene, almost as if they were shocked by the girl's display of Earthbending. Ishimaru didn't understand why, but just shrugged it off as he headed up to the counter.
"Excuse me, we need two rooms and a stable space for our bison." Ishimaru asked the inn keeper.
"Your that group of entertainers that just got here, aren't yah? Might want to head up to the palace after awhile. Heard the king was interested in meeting you for some reason. Maybe he's heard of yah all. Anyway, here's your keys, and your rooms are on the top floor."
