In the afternoon light, a bold red tailed hawk with deep brown feathers flew out down to the markets in the city where Zuko had gone to with Katara. A black ribbon trailed the sky behind it's body, the harness holding the message red. This was not something to dawdle with. If Zuko saw the black ribbon, he would definitely look at it immediately. The hawk wouldn't let anyone but him take the letter either, so no panic would be spread.
From another tower, a green vested red tailed hawk took to the skies not long after the black ribbon. This one had a white ribbon on it. Dey-Wa scowled. "They were able to get a message out to Zuko."
"No worries." Lee looked out the window with Dey-Wa. "The hawk we sent to the colony will reach its destination in no time. It's a much leaner bird with wider wings. It will ride the air currents. Look, see?" He pointed to the white ribbon first catching up to the black and then passing with amazing speed. "Because he has to cross the ocean. He will rest at a mid-point buoy for a few minutes, eat a fish, and then deliver the letter all before dinner is half way cooked. Your man can board the ships and be in Sozun by night fall. Best to carry out the job in the night anyway."
Dey-Wa huffed. "Well I hope he gets here before then. It's a full moon tonight."
