I had stayed with this kid for a day and then he said his parents would get back so they could make the medication I need. It was the second day with him but I would only ask this question now. "Did you ever have a older relative named Aren? Earth bender by chance?" I asked, stumbling on my words. I felt bad taking hospitality from someone with nothing to offer in return, but I could barley walk and talk now. I heard the slamming of a door. "Wait a second please." Andy said. He said he name was Andy when I came in, so I took his word for it. I mean who feels the need to lie about their name? I hear talking from a different room, probably Andy and his parents. I hear the door open, I was well ready for Andy to walk in, but it wasn't him. A female, probably in her thirties, Andy's mom probably. I smiled and waved, and she asked "Are you Aya?" Which I responded with a nod. She looks me over, probably trying to figure out my condition. She looks stumped a bit. After like ten minutes of staring at me, she had a 'I know what to do' moment. She walked out and I waited. I sat there, kinda tired and cold. Andy had been giving me small portions of food to eat so I don't throw it up. Another person enters the room. Of course I expect Andy's mom but no, logic hates me. Andy walks in with a glass of water. "Here I got you something. Sorry you had to wait so long for the medication." I smiled "thank you." I took a sip of the water. It helped my thirst but not much more. "So you asked about a relative named Aren?" He asked me. "Yeah..." I responded. "Well I had a grandfather who was named Aren and an earth bender." He said. "Look I can earth bend to." He made some earth pop up. I smiled big. "That's cool." I said. "Are you a bender" he looked at me hopefully. I shook my head no, he couldn't know ,"sorry Andy." We sat there in silence

About six minutes later his mom came in with the medication I needed. She handed me this small container of red liquid. "Here." She said. I looked at it. What horrible flavor could it be? Doesn't matter it will help me. I took a big gulp, and to my luck, it was cherry. I hate cherry. Who likes cherry. What kind of person makes medication taste like cherry?! Why would someone do that. Whatever, I'm starting to feel better. After an hour or two I feel better enough to leave to Ba sing, forget it I cannot spell it. I had a small bundle with some food in it and a bottle of water. Ok back on track.
