Please note that there is a specific top-level comment thread for:

• The day 3 arrival of the draftees and the 6 hours that follow until the bomb is dropped

Level C conversation!

Well, I am a fire bender, I manipulate the element of fire through martial arts, so I am well versed in close combat as well.

[He takes a sip of his water]

Yes, I think that arrangement will work best for the time being.

[swordprincess]

[She manages a pale smile herself.]

That's...interesting. So you don't need tomes or anything?

[tea_lover64]

Not at all. Fire comes from within. A fire bender is strongest in the day, with the sun, but we can also operate well enough at night.

[swordprincess]

From within...?

[She looks down, bringing her hands to her chest and torso. Is she on fire inside? Are they literal flames?]

[tea_lover64]

[He pauses for a moment]

... I'll explain it to you sometime after the draft is done.

[swordprincess]

[Don't mind her; she's just being an oddball like usual.]

All right...

[She looks around again, looking for any enemies that might be heading their way.]

Should we go back into the fray? Or wait for the enemy to come to us?

[tea_lover64]

[He is friends with a few of them]

A quick strike followed by a retreat works best. They have the numbers, so we must make sure to minimize that by keeping them on their toes in multiple places. Essentially we force them to spread themselves thin in an attempt to cover a wider area, making it easier for groups similar to us to engage.

[The Fire Nation despite its strong military prowess had often been outnumbered by the Earth Kingdom, surgical efficient strikes and feints were often used to great effect]

[swordprincess]

[At least Karla's good with the quick strikes. She often left quickly after her victories, although she hasn't had to conceal herself.]

That sounds good.

[tea_lover64]

Do you require a bit of rest before we begin?

[It was best to catch it where you could]

[swordprincess]

[She has to let out a weak laugh at that. It's a miracle she hasn't keeled over yet.]

Yes...that would be nice.

End there I suppose?

[tea_lover64]

Alright, I will keep watch for a bit while you gather your strength.

[He nods]

I suppose. ♥

[swordprincess]

All right. Thanks, Iroh...

[She'll draw her sword before getting down on the ground on her right side. She holds the sword in her left hand as she begins to doze off, so if she's attacked, her sword arm will be ready to go.]

Seems a good place as any.

[tea_lover64]

[Iroh glances down at her, they were always too young for the battle he felt. Of course the Malnosso were less picky than even the Fire Nation]

You are quite welcome, Karla.

[He inclines his head and begins his watch]
