/

Ever since being allowed to leave, or more like being kicked out, Zuko, Azula, and Iroh have spent all their effort into finding Shoto, and where ever this 'Kamikaze' is.

Though, no leads so far, and now they have entered an earth kingdom village to refuel before continuing their search.

They had left without a crew and ditched the FireNavy ship, then they bought a new small one with the little money they had taken with them.

Changing their clothing, and traveling on land rather than sea, took time but it was better than being caught and identified.

Zuko squinted his eyes against the sun as he kept walking along the dirt road. His earth kingdom robe/rags swayed in the wind as he walked.

The market was busy today.

Vendors yelled into the crowds of people to attract customers. Iroh would purchase their food, and Azula and Zuko would focus on eavesdropping on conversations going on around them, hoping to hear about an 'unknown FireNation prisons'. Though hearing anything actually useful has proved to be very unlikely.

"Did you hear the news Ru?" One man asked his friend excitedly, across the road where Zuko and Azula stood.

"No? What happened?"

"I hear the avatar is back!

"Wait? For real? Where?"

"I don't know? I hear he pops up in random towns, you never know where he is going."

Azula and Zuko shared a look before rushing through the streets toward Uncle.

"Uncle!" Azula ran up to him before noticing the salesman he was speaking to. She quickly changed her attitude and put up a front.

"Oh my goodness Uncle, Lee and I were lost and couldn't find you!" Azula quickly fake pouted to accent her lie.

Iroh raised an eyebrow at that.

"Uhm, Uncle, think we can head back soon?" Zuko asked, hinting that they heard something.

Recognition flashed in Iroh's eyes.

"Hm, let's gather our goodies then we can go" turning to the salesman he added, "sorry about this, looks like i will have to take up that deal another time."

The salesman only frowned, but nodded.

The trio quickly made their way back to their camp.

"What did you hear?" Iroh asked as soon as they knew it was safe.

"There where some guys talking about the avatar. Apparently he has been making stops at towns recently." Azula filled Iroh in.

"Do you think Shoto is looking for us?" Zuko asked Iroh softly, full of hope.

"Of what little I know about the Kamikaze, I know you can't just escape it. Especially if you were put there with every intent to be kept there your entire life." Iroh stroked his beard in thought.

"Right-" Azula huffed her annoyance.

"Where can we find said avatar?" Iroh suddenly questioned after a moments silence.

"Dunno, the guys mentioned that no one knows where he is, but that he just pops up at random places and towns." Zuko beat Azula to answer, not that it was a race.

" I see, keep your ears open. Let's hurry on to the next major town East as originally planned. As soon as a lead comes, we will be quick on its tail." Iroh explained his plan to the siblings.

Affirmative nods showed their agreement.
