"Zhin Lyautey," Zhin replied coolly, "I do as I please, when I please. I come to this forest a lot. Even in red though... I have my ways of not being seen."

Wolf smirked at the woman. "Oh really? I'll bet I can hide better than you can. Momma taught me how to do that easy." He turned his bright green gaze to the other woman. He squatted on the ground in a very animalistic manner as he awaited a response.

[Teᴙa253]

"I bet you could," Zhin said sweetly, "hiding is not my specialty. Rather, when I make an enemy, my main goal is to outsmart them, a feat in which I generally do not fail at."

she paused.
"nonetheless, it's a pleasure to meet you." she said. There was no tond of fear in her voice, and she looked perfectly on top of things.

Wolf abandoned his wait for a response from Bowgirl and turned back to the other lady. "So why are you dressed so pretty when you're out in my woods?"

[Teᴙa253]

Zhin smiled, slightly flattered.
"because I dress up pretty wherever I go," she replied, "it's just something that I've always done. I guess you could call it a habit."

she also seemed to be lowering her guard, as she did not think that the boy would suddenly spring out and attack her for no reason.

"this is a beautiful forest," she continued, "and I figure that if I come here that I should be beautiful as well."

~Azula~

Wolf wrinkled his brow for a moment. "That doesn't seem like such a good habit to me. What if you had to run through the woods? Wouldn't all your fancy clothes just get caught and get in the way? Besides, I'll bet its uncomfortable."

[Teᴙa253]

"I've always dressed like this," Zhin replied calmly, "so I woldn't know what's "more" or "less" comfortable."

when he mentioned speed though, that was when Zhin grinned.
"when I need to run," she said, "I do so with surprising ease. What I wear does surprisingly little to hinder me. And if my clothes get dirty or torn or ruined? I have plenty more back at home, and so that is of little concern to me in the long run."

"of course," she said, "everyone is different. 'right' and 'wrong' are jsut concepts of the human mind."

~Azula~

[Alucard]

Slightly confused, the boy c0cked his head to the right in a very canine manner. "Right and wrong? What's that? Momma's never really said anything like that before. She tells me what I can and can't do, but I've never heard those before."

[Teᴙa253]

Zhin decided to sit back down. Spreading her dress out, she crossed her legs and then folded her arms gently, making herself comfortable.

"right and wrong," she said, "are simply tricks that we as humans have created to encourage us to do some things and to discourage us from doing others. People like to encourage other people to do what is "right", and like to discourage people from doing things that are "wrong". The issue with this is, is that "right" and "wrong", change from person to person. For example, there are people who think it is "right" to damage this forest. Other, more appreciative people like you and I, see that as "wrong".

All in all, it's a very confusing mess, which is actually why I don't bother messing with it. I generally just do what I please and protect the things that I hold dear; this forest being one of them."

Wolf's visage darkened at the mention of hurting the forest. "Some men were in my forest the other day. They were hurting it terribly, so I killed them. They were trying to take peices of it away on big carts, but I didn't let them take away my forest. Momma told me I had to protect it." He thought about her explanaition of right and wrong for a moment, then, "Well, its a good thing that I'm not a human, like you. Momma never tries to trick me, and neither do my brothers or sisters," he said proudly.

[Teᴙa253]

upon hearing that he claimed not to be human, this sent Zhin's mind racing into all sorts of theories, calculations and other such thoughts.

"I see," Zhin replied, knowing that younger children usually not only had big imaginations, but were also very stubborn. She decided to go along with it instead of get technical. "This is a beautiful forest. It is certainly worth protecting."

Her mind then went back to what he said about his momma, his brothers and his sisters."
"oh," she said, thinking about the possibilities of who they might be, "can I meet your family?"

~Azula~

[Alucard]

Wolf narrowed his eyes when the woman asked to meet his family. "I dunno. Maybe later. Momma kinda almost ate the last friend that I brought home," he said, scuffing the ground with his toe. "So where did you come from?" he asked, demonstrating the emphemeral attention span of a child of his age.

[Teᴙa253]

"alright then," Zhin replied, this answering most of her questions as to who "momma" was.
"although I would still like to meet her one day."

she paused to think of a way to answer her next question in terms he would be able to understand. She wasn't sure she knew what she would mean if she said she was "born in the Fire Nation" and "lived in the upper ring of Ba Sing Se currently".

"I was born in a land far west of here," she replied, "and I've travelled the world, and generally have homes everywhere. I appreciate beautiful places like this though. I could easily find myself enjoying coming back here again and again."

Zhin was truly a very rich woman. The thing that set her apart was that was was much more "down-to-earth" than most people were. She might have spent her money on fancy things, but she was always one to spare a coin or two to someone in need, and was altogether just a generous and friendly person.

"Maybe you could meet Momma. When she feels a little better." He listened to her explanation of where she had come from with rapt attention. "You mean you're from the land of fire? Momma told me that, years ago, bad men came from there and tried to kill all of the forests. She said that they left, though. But you're not like them, cause you like the forest and don't want to kill it, right?" As he asked this question, his hand inched towards his knife.

[Teᴙa253]

"aye," Zhin replied, "the Fire Nation--the land of fire."
she listened to his miniature story, and her eyes flickered when his hand moved to his knife. luckily Zhin had nothing to hide, and so told the pure, direct truth.

"precisely," she replied, "I come to this forest a lot. It is a beautiful place that helps me to relax. As a result I do not want anyone coming in to destroy it. I cherish this place as much as you do."
she smiled sweetly.
