"I wasn't there for very long," she explained, a little stiffly. "Mother was anxious to leave. Although it seemed like all the wealth was concentrated in the centre, and it gradually got more and more poor as we reached the outer walls."

"I think I've heard about the rings... Well, I think I'd still like to go visit anyway."

"It's very big," she said. "Although I'd prefer to stay here."

Jampo nodded. "I understand. I'd always wanted to travel, but somehing always kept me back at the Air Temple..."

"At least you can leave when you want. A flying bison's got to be pretty handy for travelling."

She frowned, glancing away. "No, I... I never said that."

"What does it matter to you anyway?" Her tone grew defensive, and she moved away from him to place her empty bowl in the sink.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry..." he told her calmly. "I won't ask about it anymore, then."

Jian coughed to fill the silence that ensued. "It looks like your done eating so erm, do you mind directing me the way to Ba Sing Se? This forest is like a labyrinth in itself and I'd doubt I'd be able to find myself a way out, never mind to the capital, without your help."

She nodded, unrolling the map over the table and quickly locating their current position. "We're here, and Ba Sing Se is over here. The quickest way is to follow the river until you reach the base of this mountain. Then you should head through the valley and carry on for half a day. It's fairly massive, you can't miss it."

He took out his own outdated map, comparing the two with the silent relief that at least the general surroundings were still the same. It would make his journey to Ba Sing Se a lot easier. "Got it." Jian nodded after several moments, having committed the directions to memory. "Which way is the river from this cottage?"

"Head left once you're outside and continue in that general direction. You'll reach it soon enough."

"Understood." He got up with a brief nod, rummaging around his bag for a small drawstring pouch. "And thank you for the food."

"Safe journey," was all Kari said as she turned to roll the map back up and place it inside the chest.

Jian muttered a quick farewell before making his way out of the cottage, tossing several coins onto the table as a payment of sorts whilst simultaneously stuffing the papers back into his pocket in an unceremonious manner.

She collected the coins slowly, turning back to the air nomad she was housing. "You should get some rest. It's late."
