(lol...it's ok. But against someone's orders? that i wanna know about jk) Shiomi closed her eyes and tried to hold back the tomato red that spread threw out her face. When she finally opened her eyes she spoke, "Admires? I think not. But that might be to you, Takumi. If you don't mind me saying so... your a nice person and strong in mind. If i was older i think i might be one of your admirers myself." She snapped her eyes shut again and sped up her own sped, not caring if it was to fast for him. Boy, am i stupid? Why do i always do this? I'll never get the whole "talking to people thing" right.... As her thoughts caught up, she slowed down to a steady walk. Unaware of his presence still being there. But at this level of embarrassment, she just thought she was alone, blocking out the world.

Startled at her sudden speed, Takumi hurried to catch up, nearly stumbling in the deep snow. Once he caught up with her, he was puffing white clouds into the cold, still air. He noticed she looked distracted.
"Lady Shiomi?" he asked, concerned and slightly breathless. "I'm highly flattered you would consider me to be admired, especially by yourself. I certainly don't see why you would think so however." He smiled lightly. "I'm quite average and lacking in any appealing, heroic qualities. I'm even unable to fight and protect you. Now, you on the other hand, you outclass many women I’ve seen, and not simply because you are the avatar.” He smiled a soft smile. “It’s your over encompassing kindness. I stand by my claim that you have many admirers, perhaps some you’d never expect,” he laughed.
His burgundy eyes calmly appraised her, a faint smile on his lips. “You are quite pleasant to be around, Lady Shiomi. I am sure I’d be an admirer myself,” he chuckled. “If I was younger of course. I certainly missed out, then, hm?”

His voice awoke her from the world of her mind. She stooped and turned to him, waiting for him to catch his breath before they advanced any further. "Sorry...i, i zoned out," she whispered, hoping her could hear it. "You an admirer of me, how... silly. There's other women out there for you, even if you were my age. I wouldn't want you to be stuck with me," Shiomi bent her head down, not thinking when she spoke. She just let the words flow there her, like the tides attracted to the moon. He was so easy to talk to. She didn't want him to leave, but she knew he would eventually.
"But, yeah.....i guess you did. Umm, could," she quietly started playing with her hands, like a little girl afraid of meeting new people, "could you tell me what exactly you meant by 'perhaps some you'd never expect'?"

He shook his head, laughing softly. "I believe I would be quite happy being stuck with you. You judge yourself much too harshly, Lady Shiomi."
Smiling at her shy question, he answered, "You never know when someone close to you may be hiding affection for you. I've seen it enough times to know it does in fact happen and... not everything is truly what it seems." His pleasant, open expression flickered, seeming almost carefully guarded for a moment before he shook his head, softly laughing under his breath. “Yes, indeed…”

"Why would you be happy stuck with me? I could bring nothing to the relationship, at all." Shiomi was blushing deep red at what he had said. Not for him being stuck with her, but for him being happy about it.
Shiomi just started at him, for no aperent reason. "That is true." She broke her glance and started to walk again, they were almost to the tribe. "So....has that ever happened to you?"

"If 'nothing' was kindness and enjoyable conversation, then yes, you certainly would bring 'nothing' to a relationship," Takumi chuckled.
Takumi looked thoughtful. "Hm, do you mean someone hiding a secret affection for myself?" He smiled. "Well, it would be secret for a reason and assuming that someone held a fondness for me would be quite rude. Some women I've known has confessed to me before but... whether it was out of love or simply a want of power was left up to question. I hold some sway over the fire lord as an advisor, and perhaps that is what they seek, instead of a meaningful relationship. I'm not worth much else, either way," he laughed slightly.

Shiomi slightly blushed and laughed. "Wow, umm, i guess your right," she said between jolts of laughter. "But anyways, i don't really find that enough for me to give. I just don't," she sighed and slowed down to a steady walk.
"How could you think your not worth much else? Any woman that doesn't fall for you, i would classify them as crazy. The power seeking woman don't deserve you at all. Your way to god for them, and the ones out of love," Shimoi blushed at the word, then continued, "perhaps give them a chance. One might be the one for you. That is....if your looking."

"Then what do you regard as being enough?" Takumi asked curiously. "And isn't believing you should contribute more to a relationship the ultimate gift you could give?" he smiled kindly, keeping pace next to her.
"You are too kind. I suppose it could be possible that a few of my 'admirers' are such because they wish for simply me and not my title, but it's hard to see how," he chuckled. "I truly do not know if I am looking. If the opportunity comes and I meet someone exceptional, then I'd try." He paused. "Are you searching for someone, Lady Shiomi?"

"I don't really know. Happiness, and/or pure happiness needs to be added into the mix. I just don't think i can supply that...." Shiomi blushed and laughed at herself.
"Umm....thanks." Her laugh was softer, and lighter. "Well, i consider that looking for someone. Sorry if you think im just saying that to get on your nerves, if i am." Shiomi blushed, the last thing he had said caught her off gaurd. "Umm, I guess i am. Not entirely sure, but i guess so.If i did find someone i would be very happy, i suppose."

(This was extremely short. XD I'm sorry...)
"I think you would be able to supply that particular emotion in abundance," Takumi said, smiling at her modesty.
"Perhaps I am looking for someone then," he chuckled. "If you are indeed looking, I hope you achieve that happiness. I'm sure you will, one day."

"Uhh.... thank you Takumi." Shiomi giggled and sighed. "And i hope you also find that someone, and be happy with her."
As they reached the Tribe, an Elder was waiting for them. He slowly approached them and stood there with a smile planted on his face. "Hello, Abalendu. This is Takumi," she gave a warm smile. This was the man that first welcomed her into the Tribe. "Hello, Shiomi. I'm sorry to bother you and Takumi here, but i have something to tell you." Shiomi was shocked. This was the first time he had done this, so she thought something terrible had happened. "What is it?" Abalendu smiled and said, "Your going to the Southern Water Tribe for a festival." Shiomi calmed down and sighed. "You scared me for a second there. Well thank you and i shall go get my stuff ready. Takumi, do you wish to come with me?"

Takumi bowed to the Elder. "An honor, Elder Abalendu." Hearing the avatar's question, Takumi turned and smiled. "In truth, the Fire Lord didn't specify which water tribe I should go to. So, I suppose so, if it's alright with you, Lady Shiomi. You have this strange way of making me not leave you alone," he said, releasing a light chuckle.
Takumi paused. "Elder Abalendu, if I may ask, have you seen fire nation guards pass by here?" He was curious about what happened. He didn't believe his guards were easily distracted, however this wasn't the first time Takumi had to get along without them. He did prefer it that way, as it makes building contact relationships that much smoother, however explaining to the Fire Lord how he had mysteriously lost his appointed protection would be a hassle he was not willing to take.

Abalendu smiled and laughed, "Thank you, Takumi. And to be honest, i have seen a few but mere minutes ago. Our guards here, tried to stop them, but i just didn't want a fight to happen when i must give Shiomi such news." He smiled again, "I let them pass, they shouldn't be to far."
Shiomi was smiling at what Takumi said, let alone blushing too. "Thank you, Takumi. Would you mind coming back to my place also? I get so lonely there and all..... not to mention, its pretty far into the tribe. Im sure we'll find your guards on the way...." She smiled warmly again, then bowed to the Elder. "And thank you for telling me, Abalendu."

(Forgive the shortness... and lateness. XD I've been traveling during Chirstmas break.)
"Thank you. I apologize for any trouble my guards may have caused you," Takumi nodded respectfully to the elder, before smiling at Shiomi.
"I've never been one to ignore the desires of a beautiful lady. Very well, Lady Shiomi. I'd be honored to set foot into your home. I'm grateful for the invitation. Lead the way."

"No problems at all, young Takumi. Now, if you ex-use me, i must be off. I have plenty of work to do, let alone find away for you to get there, Shiomi." Abalendu scratched his head, then slowly started walking off into the tribe.
"I don't have a way to get there yet, how weird." Shiomi smiled at Takumi, and shyly pulled on his arm, "its this way..."
