"You gonna be okay over there?" Kyoshi asked as they got off the boat and started slowly making their way down the dock. Rangi almost stumbles after her, a little bit of color coming back to her face.

"I'm fine" Rangi called stiffly. "Just do whatever the hell Avatars do already"

"Fine, but Avatars walk faster" Kyoshi laughed back, starting to speed up.

She wouldn't fucking dare.

"You're carrying the bags then" Rangi called, swinging hers in Kyoshi's direction almost causing her to stumble as the bag hit the Avatar in the back of the knees.

Kyoshi took it without another word and headed off the dock, once on land finding a rock to sit on patiently. Shooting Rangi an innocent crooked smile as she waited for her to catch up.

"You should have told me you get seasick." Kyoshi said as Rangi sat behind her, letting out a long breath.

"It wasn't relevant till now" Rangi replied, some of her dizziness clearing. "We should get going though, you do have a meeting set up with the Governor right?"

"No, I was just planning on swinging by" Kyoshi shrugged.

The fire bender could only rub her temples. Where is that damn monk when you need him?

"So we're just going to walk in and ask if he knows anything about the scattering of Chin's men, correct?" She asked skeptically.

"Hasn't failed me yet"

Shaking her head Rangi stood once more, most of the weight in her head having cleared now. "Let's get moving then, and hope his afternoon is free."

It was a bit of a hike though the passage of the mountains to reach the inner city of Gaoling itself. Far wealthier than Yokoya by looks alone. There were more than a couple nice residents that looked like they could be fancy enough to be the Governor's.

After making it to the streets of Gaoling, they had made a beeline for the Governor's place. The streets were crowded with people traveling in the late afternoon as Kyoshi tried to push her way around, Rangi a step behind her.

"I heard rumors that they've gone south" The Governor said flatly, resting his hands on top of eachother.

The two had been invited in for tea when they arrived. Rangi calling Kyoshi lucky as they entered with her lack of planning.

"To the southern air temple, that seems problematic in more ways than one." Kyoshi replied.

But he just shook his head. "Further, to the southern water tribe"

Kyoshi raised an eyebrow. "That's some trip, and what will they do there anyways become pirates?" She joked.

"They'll probably have the numbers"

"Spirits, they're actually going to become pirates?" Kyoshi cursed, standing to leave. "Thank you then, for the updates. I hope to visit for longer next time"

He nodded as she left the room, Rangi a step behind blowing before they left.

Once outside Kyoshi paused, taking a breath of the fresh air. "Conquers turned pirates" She mused.

"If they have numbers, it may be best to involve some more bodies for defensive purposes. Though I guess that depends on their goal." Rangi began, thinking through possible operations.

"I already think I know the people for the job" Kysohi said, looking back at Rangi.

"Who's crazy enough to want to chase down a band of pirates."
