Well, I'm bored. Today has been surprisingly uneventful. I'm not even so sure what to do with myself! Uncle and Zuko were doing something together and I was sitting bored on the deck by myself. I get they need their alone time but geez was that boring for me! I can't tease Zuko or learn from Uncle Iroh. What was I supposed to do? I groaned out of boredom when suddenly something ran into the ship.
"What the?" I stood up fast preparing to attack when some giant beast climbed on board.
"Watch out" Jee yelled, grabbing my arm and pulling me back.
"Stand back" another yelled out.
"What the heck is that thing?" No one bothered responding. Well don't I just love being ignored. Zuko and Iroh joined us shortly after and I stood beside Zuko.
"Get back! we're after a stowaway!"
"There are no stowaways on my ship" Zuko responded as the three of us stepped forward.
"Well technically" Uncle glared in my direction and I stopped talking. when the beast suddenly pulled up and pulled a piece of the deck up and threw it towards us. Zuko grabbed me and pulled me in front of him shielding us both while ducking, He pulled us both back up and glared at the women on the beast. He slowly let go of me and I quickly checked myself over. I was fine. I looked over to Zuko and he nodded to me at least confirming he was fine and I was as well.
Suddenly a man dressed in earth kingdom clothes came running out of the hole towards us. I cringed back Apparently there was another stowaway on this ship. I wonder how long he's been here? The beast shot its tongue out and hit the man in several different places. He fell unable to move.
"He's paralyzed," Zuko said in complete astonishment
"Only temporarily, the toxins will wear off in about an hour, but by then he'll be in jail and will have my money," The girl responded, picking the man up and slinging him onto the back of her beast.
"But how did you find him on my ship?" Zuko questioned stepping towards her. I stayed next to my Uncle and watched perplexed.
"My shirshu can smell a rat a continent away," she said, patting the beast before climbing on. That thing was creepy.
"Well I'm impressed," Uncle Iroh said. I looked at him weirdly and Zuko continued to glare at the lady. She whipped her beast and off they went. I cringed when she whipped him. The poor thing. We ran to the side of the ship to see her leave and Uncle stroked his beard
"Very impressed," he stated creepily. Zuko glared at him and I made a face of disgust.
"Ew," I muttered while walking off. I had a feeling we'd be going after her soon. So much for an uneventful day. I threw on my minimalist armor and walked back to where we kept the rhinos seeing Zuko preparing one standing with Uncle Iroh.
"Leaving without me?" Zuko turned around before sighing.
"It's going to be a gross pub filled with criminals, you shouldn't be there" I just shrugged and walked towards them.
"Are you gonna stop me?" He let out a groan in anger before shaking his head. We left making our way to wherever she ran off too. After a couple of minutes, we arrived outside of some shabby looking bar. A lot of cheering was going on inside. For what? I'm not sure. As we walked in Zuko decided to piss people off.
"Out of my way! Step aside filth" I walked between Zuko and Iroh rolling my eyes at Zuko's words.
"He means no offense, I'm certain you bathe regularly," Uncle told everyone as we walked by trying to not start a fight.
