"Well, I'm sure there's some fruit or something around here, we just have to find it..." Ty Lee looked at a nearby bush, "Hey, berries!" She grinned and picked them, placing them in a beige cloth she was carrying, "Here!" She gave the bundle to Mai. If one were to look at her, they wouldn't be able to tell that she had ever acted how she did back during the 'confrontation' with Iroh.
It was as if the event had never happened, as if everything was truly normal...

Mai grabbed the bundel of berries, "Uhh thanks Ty Lee" Mai said in her bore voice. She wondered why Ty Lee was always so happy. Mai stood up and cut down some branches with her daggars to make a fire. As the fire was made, nightfall had struck. They both sat there and ate berries and drank some tea, once Iroh had given them. "Ty Lee, uhh are you feeling alright?" Mai asked out randomly.

"Of course I'm all right, Mai." She had overacted her usual happiness in her attempt to fool her friend. She was extremely worried about her parents, who would be discriminated against, if not hated or imprisoned, for having a daughter who was branded as a traitor.
Unfortunately, Ty Lee was a terrible actor...and even worse at lying. If the weapon wielding, young woman wasn't already on to her, she would find out...

Mai looked at her over joyed friend. She paused for a minute still watching Ty Lee and her crazy happy smile...
"Ty Lee, why are you always happy?" Mai asked quickly. "I mean ever since we were "children" you have always been extremely happy, even when that witch messed with you all the time, you never were upset." Mai also added to her question.

"Mai..." She was obvious uncomfortable with the question, her friend was pushing the boundries of things that the acrobat didn't want to talk about.
However, if there was anyone Ty Lee would trust with this knowledge, Mai was the one.
While she didn't feel much loyalty to the Princess of the Fire Nation, she did wonder why the knife throwing girl had already decided upon calling her a witch, "Why are you calling Azula that?" Mai's question would be left unanswered and, hopefully, it would just be forgotten...

Mai was quiet for a sec, slowly once again sharpening her nails. "All the hell she put us through Ty Lee, there is no other word for it, I mean when we were kids all the manipulation we had to put up with, I mean bowing to her because she's the fire princess, and if we disrespect her we will be considered traitors, some friend huh, then the fact, you brought up to me earlier about her wanting to kill Iroh..." Mai paused looking at Ty Lee's face. "Well, I feel she's nothing but a witch!" Mai finished, looking away from Ty Lee and focusing back on her nails.

"That's why I act so happy, because, despite what Azula put us through, we had it pretty good." She allowed herself a short period of silence, realizing that her answer was pretty vague, "I mean, we'll always have each other." She smiled at her best friend, hoping that that would be enough to answer the previous question.

"Ty Lee..." Mai said once again looking at her. "We were practically slaves to her" Mai said with a bland expression. She put her daggar away and sat closer to the fire, "It seems weird ever since your parents...." Mai stopped after looking at Ty Lee's face.

She shrugged off the last sentence, her parents being a sensitive subject, even with Mai, "Sure, we were like servants to Azula, but we had it good compared to the Palace servants that she spit on, burned, and treated with no respect whatsoever."
She always had a nack for looking on the bright side...

"Yes true," Mai said sipping the last of her tea. "Well we must leave in the morning early, who knows what may appear by morning." Mai said as she slowly walked over to her tent.

"Right, good night, Mai." She got to her sleeping bag quickly and crawled into it. Luckily for her, sleeping on the ground was a bit easier than sleeping in the tank where Azula was always nearby...

As morning approached, Mai woke up early, seeing Ty Lee was sound asleep. She didn't bother to wake her up, but walked down near the riverbend where she sat alone, sharpening her nails.
"I wonder what we are going to do?" Mai thought to herself, "We really can't last in the wild for to long." Mai continued her thought.

Ty Lee woke up quietly, feeling unrested and stiff, thanks to the small rock under her bedroll that she hadn't noticed until she woke up on top of it. She stood up and walked to the center of their little campsite, looking around for Mai...

Mai looked at her reflection in the water and thought about Zuko. "Oh how I wish he was mine" She said to herself, not knowing someone was behind her.

Too bad Ty LEe wasn't listening and Mai was talking in a quiet voice, or she might of heard her talking, "Mai, I found you! What are you doing out here?" She queried, unsure of her friend.

"Uhh, No I was just getting some water" Mai replied quickly, looking at Ty Lee. "I think we better get going somewhere else" Mai added.

"Yeah...let's go." The aura of this area was changing rapidly...looking bad for anyone in this place...

Mai and Ty Lee, walked deeper and deeper into the forest. "Where do you think we are going Ty Lee?" Mai asked, not knowing where the woods would lead them.

She considered this for what seemed like forever to Mai, before answering, "I don't have a clue." A cheerful smile came to her face as she spoke the next sentence, "All I know is that we have to be headed away from Azula."
