before you came into my life I missed you so bad

In what had been an altogether strange conversation, Amon had uncharacteristically mentioned having a favorite restaurant. And was very specific and exacting in making sure the Lieutenant knew the address. He's not exactly sure if it was a subtle hint not to harrass a particular business owner, or if Amon thought he was starting to look a little on ( Read more... )

Oh, right, reciprocation. A slightly different trick of the light hits him next. "Not sure. I, uh, never really got to know my father. Ma said he had green eyes, so he could've been straight from the Foggy Swamp for all I know." He wishes he'd asked her more about his father, but she'd get so sad... He doesn't even know why he left.

And now ma's gone, and he'll never know.

Just some noodle steam in his eyes, that's all. "So are you a local, or how long have you been in town? I think I'd remember you if we'd met before."

Noatak looks carefully at his tea, away from the masked emotion in Lu Ten's eyes. Well. He's done a fine job putting him at ease.

"I've lived here for over a decade. I keep to myself." His lips quirk as he looks back at Lu Ten. "I...may have seen you around before. How long have you lived here?"

For some reason, he finds it easy to open up to a stranger. Maybe he's just used to the anonymity of the Equalists, where everyone shares the same struggles, wears the same mask (more or less).

"Born and raised. Did some traveling when I was younger, but I've pretty much settled down now." That is, when he was a child, his ma would take him along on her trips so she could look after him... and when he was older, he went to look after her.

And now, he has Republic City to look after.

He chuckles, slightly. "You don't seem like much of a loner to me. So where would you have run into me, hmm?" Maybe he's a fellow Equalist! Wouldn't that be convenient.

Hah. Noatak can't agree that opening up to a stranger helps. "As did I, before finding my way to the city."

The Lieutenant, though--it's easier than he'd thought to simply tell him the truth. At least the uncomplicated parts of it.

"I was eating alone, wasn't I?" he says with a smile. "Ah--here and there. You seem familiar."

Perhaps he should figure out now exactly how much he means to give away. Why he's here at all.

"I'll have to start paying more attention; bet I could spot you easily now." Maybe he lives in the same neighborhood, or he's been in the crowd at a rally...

Lu Ten slurps up some more noodles before he thinks of another question. "Where have your travels taken you? I've been all over the Earth Kingdom and Fire Nation - even went to an Air Temple when I was small. Never made it to a pole, though... always wanted to." Bit of a white lie, that - he doesn't think he could stand the cold. But with the right company...
