Minako glanced back as the couple darted out of the teahouse. She winced, noting the glare the man gave her. She knew all too well of people who did not appreciate her bending abilities. It didn't happen often, but it happened all the same. She just didn't understand it. Benders were just as capable of helping non-benders as non-benders were capable of harming benders. Equality didn't mean hating what you couldn't do...
When the girl who had asked for Jie tea called her over, she sighed at the question. "Well, I really don't know." She replied. "I suppose they're jealous of us... or they feel we have an unfair advantage. It's really hard to say..." She shrugged some, taking her empty cup. "Would you like a refill?" She asked.
She glanced up as some police cars drove by, then sighed a little, watching the officer leave his daughter. She was lucky to have a father who could bend. Her parents were devastated to hear of her abilities. The capability to do what that... monster had done was only a few lessons away. She shook her head and looked back to the other girl.
(OOC: fyi, Humanoid, please don't move my character. I don't want to make it a big deal, but it's a bit of a peeve of mine. Thanks!)

Name:Ahna Bender: Water Location: Entering Elephant Koi Teahouse Tagged: Anyone present at the moment.
All but skipping from the theater after the noon performance, Ahna was in the mood for a nice cup of tea. Still feeling energetic from the natural high she got whilst on stage and entertain those of Republic City, the bubbly waterbender needed a nice calming drink. Or at least that is what her mother said. A hyper Ahna while amusing was scary as well. Smiling and waving hello to familiar faces as they passed by her she barely avoided a group of kids as they ran in an excited huddle. Something about candy and lemurs maybe? They were all talking so fast and the words jumbled together as they made their way down the street. Finally reaching her destination Ahna entered with a cheerful hello and made her way to her favorite table. One that had a lovely view of the park and people going about their business. For the last week she had been visiting the Southern Water Tribe and secretly missed the hustle and bustle the city had to offer. Now while Ahna loved being surrounded by snow and the wonderful food her Nanna cooked it just didn't really hold the same allure as Republic City. Perhaps it was the fact of living in such a diverse world or maybe, just maybe it was because her Nanna had made sure during the visit to invite every eligible male in the area to dinner and try to play matchmaker. But she didn't have to worry about matchmaking or marriage hook ups here! All Ahna had to worry about was memorizing dances and if she really wanted to buy those new boots on sale she happen to see earlier...

(OOC: No problem! It wont happen again~)
"No thanks." Chen paced the money she owed on the table. She laughed, "It's funny, I've been in this city for a year, but I still have much to learn. Thanks for the tea." Chen got up and smiled. "Keep the change." She said as she walked to the door. Chen took one last look into teahouse and left.
Instead of heading home, Chen decided to take a stroll. It would be her first time going around the city, but she needed it. After a bit of walking, she found her way into Republic City Park. She plopped down onto a bench and watched as the different people came and went. With the sun beating down on her, she drifted to sleep.

Mina smiled to the girl and nodded, waving good bye to her as she took the money. She took care of a few more customers before a relatively familiar face entered. She smiled at the regular. Minako hadn't seen her in a while. She waved to the girl with a smile. It was nice to not have dirty looks and some friendly faces again.
"Be with you in just a moment!" She said as she headed up to the counter to process the paid orders with the cashier. She walked passed the officer's daughter and decided to check on her to see if she needed anything while she on her way.
"Is there anything else you need?" She asked. The girl seemed to be brooding on something.

Taeya ponderd a few seconds more as the lone girl left the Tea house and another face entered. The girl that entered looked like she was in a good mood, like she was happy to be there. Taeya's thoughts were interrupted by the waitress's question.
Taeya looked at the waitress. "Oh? Uhhhh...Nah. I think I'm good. Thanks though...by the way...my father said keep the tip." The left over amount was quite hefty. "Apparently my father likes this place."
Taeya leaned in to the waitress. "So....what was that couples deal?"

Mina looked at the amount, then grinned and nodded. "Tell your father thank you for me. It's greatly appreciated." She remarked, then frowned at the young woman's question. She sighed and rubbed her neck, shrugging.
"They... weren't appreciative of the little show I was putting on. Bender-haters, I would gather. He was rather angry when he left. At least they paid.." She frowned a little more. "I've had newcomers who don't even pay when they discover I'm a bender. It's... been happening more often, unfortunately."
She sighed and stood up, sifting through the money to sort out the tips from the payments, shrugging again.
"I'm getting used to it, though. I've lessened my... entertaining to about once every few hours now. Used to do it once an hour." she chuckled dryly and brushed back her hair a little.

"No problem, Ill let dad know." Taeya said looking towards the door.
"So...How long has this been going on? I know my father has been talking about an underground group. " She leans in to the waitress."They really arent causing a problem, but they are trying to stir up the Buzzard Hornets nest...if you catch my drift." Taeya began to pack up her left over lunch. "Thats pretty much all I can say about that...you never know who is listening..." Taeya glanced around.

"Month or so." Mina replied with a shrug. She snorted slightly at the girl's words. There were lots of rumors, but so far nothing extreme. She only nodded.
"Yeah... No telling." She shook her head. Brushing back her braid of hair behind her shoulder, she sighed. Still, it was bone chilling to think that there were more non-benders who genuinely HATED benders. Benders helped to protect this city! Did no one remember the Avatar??
"Thanks all the same." She remarked to the girl as she packed up her lunch. "Hope to see you again. Everyone's welcome here at The Elephant Koi."

Taeya stood up and stretched abit flexing her arms slightly,a habit she picked up when she started fighting. "Well, long as it doesnt get out of hand....people have their opinions." Taeya shrugged. " And I have mine...." smiling as she said almost inviting those around to challenge her opinion. Taeya gave a small salute. "Im sure you will be seeing me again. Thanks...your name is?"

The girl nodded. It was a valid thought, she had to hand it to the other girl. She watched as the girl stretched and saluted, then chuckled. She must be a fighter of some kind. A good one too, by the shape she was in.
"Minako." She replied. "Mina for short, really. And you are...?"

"Mina. Gotcha." Taeya held out her hand for a tight hand shake. "And I'm Taeya, Taeya Gao Sung. I take it you're a waterbender?" Taeya could tell by the blue fashion she was sporting. "Oh and you can call me Taeya. Last name is abit long." She smiled warmly.
