Itineris- I really love that story. I am honoured that you would think that they're similar but I hope that my story is orginial because in no way do I want to copy that story.

Fire Lord Taishi 25
Year of the Sun
Three hours after noon
I am bored.
I've spent two hours in this carriage so far and after the first hour of watching the scenery drift by I was ready to sleep.
I envy the Air nomads and their flying bison. I envy the Dragon tamers and their dragons for I am sure it would only take a few hours or so on one of them.
However I did have some amusement at a porters expense.
Kairi's driver is a fat old man who resembles a whale. He looks like he's never walked more than two metres before and his amble belly bulges over his tunic belt. Well I feel he's been given a very good excersise as it was he who had the job of loading all of Kairi's twelve suitcases.
Heavy suitcases.
Thankfully my porter and driver is young...In fact he only looks a few years older than me.
There are five carriages. Two for luggage pulled by komono rhinio's and three for us. Shinji and Chen are sharing so that Kairi and I get one each. Apparently it was the gentlemanly thing to do but probably only because Shinji would have jumped out the window if contained in a small space with Kairi or I for more than five minutes.
My carriage is littered with books and such like but there providing little amusement. I am the point where I want to jump out the door and signal the nearest Dragon or Air bison which would probably take hours.
I'm also concerned and a little hurt by Mielia's lack of reply. I think she might be surprising me though...I hope she is or I will be worried and I'll have to go and visit her.
Tonight we stay at an Inn. We own the land the innkeeper lives on so it's his duty to welcome us although If I remember correctly from last year he was a bit of a pervert. If he tries anything on me I will not hesistate to fry him or worse...
Leave him at Chen and Kairi's mercy.
Eight O'clock
I was right about the old man.
He is a pervert. I've barred by door shut in case he tries to come in. He's plain creepy with his missing tooth and wheely laughter. He couldn't take his eyes off Kairi...it was sickening and I felt so repulsed I hardly ate any of my salad (of course the mould may also have contributed)
Thankfully we're out of here tomorrow.
I talked to my porter a bit when he was helping me gather my books.
His names Lee and he's an Air nomad.
Or at least half, his mother is an Air Nomad but his father is a fire nation merchant.
He's very nice and quite intelligent. He's even offered me a seat next to him on the drivers seat if I get to bored.
To tell the truth I am considering his offer. It would be nice to get some air...but on the other hand I don't want him thinking he can take advantage of that position. He is my servant...
I'll see what the weather is like tomorrow.
