The four elements (Avatar the last airbender rp) accepting

[cats.]

Miriana woke with a start,a blur of red-orange in her eyesight.When her vision cleared,she saw it was a Fire Nation girl.She rapidly stood up,panicking."Who are you?"She demanded,still sleepy."And what do you want?"

There he is. Just standing around. He's not making any ominous movements. He's not inching towards her. He is, as far as he knows, unarmed. Therefore, the girl's rather explosive reaction to his presence scares him as much as he seems to scare her. One minute they're standing in companionable silence, the next she is practically falling over herself in her haste to get away from him. This, to Onyx, seems slightly hurtful. He backs up a few steps, eyes widening in surprise. She doesn't run away, though. Not entirely. This gives the boy some hope that there is a potential friendship to be made. His look of astonished injustice turns to bewilderment as she asks him a question. He has never been asked that before. In his small tribe, everyone knew everyone else. There were no strangers, no secrets, nothing hidden, nothing mysterious. He had knowen everyone, and furthermore he had known their family too. That had been one of the things he had hated most about his tribe.

The problem is, due to this, he doesn't know how to answer a relatively simple question.

I'm Onyx, he says, after a long pause and some good, hard thought on the matter. He feels that his name sums up just about everything about him. Black and grey stone names were the names of the year of his birth. Granite. Obsidian. Himself. It is a name of stone, which is an element of earth, which will tell her which nation he hails from. He looks at her, for understanding, for acceptance. Perhaps for shunning and more fear.
And who are you? he asks. He wants to know how one is supposed to answer that question as much as he wants to know the answer to. He runs a hand through his hair. Being with people is already proving more perplexing and exciting than he'd ever hoped it to be.

And it's getting better.

Below them, on the beach, there is a girl astride the strangest-looking white creature that Onyx has ever seen. He diverts his attention from the girl before it to stare in expressionless fascination. Years spent hiding his exuberance and joy from the stern Elders of his home have left his facial expressions sadly lacking. It's a miracle that this hasn't dulled his active mind. The earth informs him that there are more people to see. He turns, to see another boy (accompanied by a long-legged brown thing that looks vaguely like something he had eaten on feast days) shaded by the trees, closely followed by a girl with an air of barely-contained enthusiasm. A small, contented, exhiliarated smile twitches the corner of Onyx's mouth up.

Yes. Yes, it's worth the cold and the rain and the running away from strange people who want to hurt him for no apparent reason. It's more than worth it to live.

Rose raised her hands showing she wasn't any harm. "I'm Rose." she said with a little smile. "All I want is someone to talk to... I mean no harm." she said.

(Strange white creature?You mean Chika and Toko?)

"Mm,I'm Miriana.Okay,I believe you."She sat down on Chika's back."These are Chika and Toko."

Lyra::

She narrows her eyes and watches him suspiciously. "My name is Lyra. That's all you need to know," she said. She decided its best for her to keep her water bending a secret until she knew she could confide trust in someone. She looked back behind her at the approaching fire nation ships.

(Sorry. I'm not poofing, I just write long posts.)

(Yes, I mean Chika and Toko XD)

[cats.]

(Yeah,I'm totally clueless sometimes.)

[Better Dig Two]

Rose smiled, "First person I have talked to that would really listen to me and not just run away. Hello." she explained. Sitting down, her fire nation clothes stuck out on the beach and all around.

"Come sit in the middle of Chika and Toko.That way anyone who wishes harm to us cannot see us."She invited."You're the first nice person I've seen in weeks."

Keiran watched the girl disappear off, deciding to follow her, and going from shadow to shadow, staying hidden most of the way down the hill. Jaclyn tilted her head at the boy, then followed behind her owner quietly, although not as careful to stay hidden. She didn't blend in as well as Keiran had first hoped, a dead giveaway really that someone else was nearby. After all, really, a fox antelope doesn't like forests unless it's following something or sleeping maybe. Keiran wasn't paying much attention to the rocks when he got too close to the edge, and lost his footing, slipping down the hill and struggling to regain his footing after he had reached the bottom. Now it was pretty obvious that he was there, and he knew it was only a matter of time before someone saw him. Without hesitating, he darted off towards the nearest tree and hid within its shadow, although it was still pretty clear that he was there, because of the red tint of his clothing. 'Stupid, stupid.' Keiran scolded himself, then glanced up the hill at Jaclyn, who just stood there, glancing around, trying to figure out where he'd gone off to. ((This may be a bit late. I always seem to reply too late when I'm writing long posts))
