Zuko and I wake up early to shop for our place.
We get 100 coins and Zuko tells me we'll meet back here at midday I'll take care of the food you find the other materials more books and whatever you need for glass making.
He kisses my cheek. I'll worry about paperwork he says.
I nod and I turn and head in the other direction of him. I go into a used book store...I begin to look and I hear whispering behind me and then I hear
I found you my spicy girl. I turn and find Jet staring at me again.
I decidedly ignore him and I pick up several of the books I place them in my basket before choosing a few more.
I go over to the counter and set out the titles.
Let's see..hum these are good titles miss studying to go to university?
No my fiancé and I are opening up a shop and we have a book corner where people will be able to read.
Creative he says some of these have been here for awhile and you're a nice girl so I'll take eight copper pieces for them
Fya pauses and he says alright seen and I'll throw in a few more how about that?
Deal Fya says.
Thank you.
Fya puts them into her basket and she leaves to go to another store.
Hey! Spicy! Spicy! Hey! I'm talking to you!
Fya doesn't turn around as she continues on her way.
She stops when she sees a poster for Appa and she takes it down and reads it.
Jet snatches the paper from her and throws it on the ground he grabs her arms and pushes her against the wall.
Hey! Get off me!
Fya says not going to happen spicy! He says.
He slaps her face and then he puts his hand around her throat.
He grins as he moves in to kiss
Fya and she kicks him hard.
Hey! He releases her and she kicks him again and she then bends down for her books. She readjusts her scarf and she says
leave me the hell alone. She turns from him as two robed men come out of the shadows what's going on here? She kicked me! Jet says pointing at Fya. Fya brushes invisible dirt off of her robes and she says
I told you to stay away. The agent turns away from them and to a bystander. What happened? The boy harassed her he says and he smirks she wasn't interested.
Hey! Jet says. Come on you're coming with us.
Get along the other agent says to
Fya and the other bystanders. He won't be bothering you anymore miss.
Fya nods and she keeps walking wanting to get away from him.
She purchases a few more things before hurrying home.
Zuko is already waiting for her when she comes over.
His eyes widen. What happened?! Fya pulls him inside and quietly explains about Jet the bounty and what was happening then. He's been hitting on you?
He hands Fya a cold fruit and Fya says I'm not sure if I'd call it hitting.
He smiles. The robed men are called the Dai Li he says they run this place.
