By The Fountain

[Lien]

Lien's eyes darted from Rob to the girl who had just arrived. She looked like she could be Fire Nation or possibly Earth Kingdom...except her clothes were very exotic. Lien's eyes then turned to the destroyed square...they really did do more damage to it than to each other.

"Sparing match." Lien said "Not known for being very tidy."

[Alishia]

"Well, I've never really seen a sparring match. Much less been a part of one. I've seen mom...and sometimes dad train a lot but they've never cause this much damage. Somebody must have some serious power to do that much damage." She said. Her mother could have easily caused as much damage with her magic, but never found any use for it. Her dad? Well he prefered hand-to-hand as opposed to all that magic, or in this case bending. Alishia herself was not a fighter so much as an adventurer. She'd fight if needed, like if she was caught by the gaurds stealing something, but if it wasn't she usually preffered to keep on with the adventure.
"I'm Alishia, and I'm going to assume you guys are the heavy-hitters that caused this mess." She said with a laugh.

[Lien]

Lien smiled sheepishly at Alishia, they had really caused mayhem "I'm Lien." she introduced herself before motioning to her companions "This is my sister, Kaya, and our friend, Rob."

She turned her attention back to Alishia, the girl seemed nice enough. Lien still thought she dressed a little oddly, but she was hardly one to comment, seeing as her purple tunic had a hole burnt through it by Rob's plasma. It shocked her slightly that the girl had never even seen a sparing match, was she a non-bender? Probably.

[Rob]

Rob offered a dull "Hi." when he was introduced, contributing a very lame wave which was more like lifting the palm of his have straight up, and dropping it into his pocket again, his other hand doing the same. Otherwise he didn't show much interest in the girl at the moment, despite her odd clothing. He eventually turned his gaze back to Lien, green eyes darting to the gaping hole in her clothing that he'd caused.

"Yeah... sorry about that." he added, gesturing to her ripped tunic with a nod of his head. But it was sincere. Rob wasn't one to take it easy during fights, the rapid pace in which he'd moved would likely make that evident, if his aggression hadn't.

[Alishia]

Kaya smiled and quickly introduced herself to the girl, which Alishia responded to by doing the same. Alishia followed Rob's eyes and laughed slghtly at the hole in Lien's tunic. "Geuss it's a good thing I've never sparred if you come out looking like that." She said jokingly. "I hardly have enough clothes as it is. If I came home looking like that mom would kick my butt." She said. She raised an eyebrow at Rob. It seemed smiling wasn't his thing, no matter.

"So, uh what kind of sparring was this...?" she asked curiously. "Cause no offense but I don't thinky you guys could do that kind of damage with your fists."

[Lien]

"It's fine." Lien replied "If I can find a needle, some tread and some material I can have it fixed in no time." She may be a princess but she had also lived in the Southern Water Tribe and thus had learnt to pull her own weight. Cooking, cleaning and sewing. Everyone contributed, even the Fire Lord's daughter.

"Bending." Lien replied to Alishia's question "I'm a waterbender and so is Kaya. Rob has some kind of green fire...I'm not quite sure what it is." Then a thought crossed her mind.

"Hey Rob, do you have any injuries? I can heal you if you'd like."

[Alishia]

"Bending?" She asked curiously. "What's that?" She was unaware of the fact that her mother and her could pass for sandbenders in Kaya and Lien's world. Though her aqua eyes widened slightly at the mention of healing. She knew her mom could perform healig spells, was this anything like that? "Healing?" she asked. "Oh, so you're a witch?" She asked, unaware that it could be taken as an insult.

[Rob]

When the girl asked what kind of battling they did, Rob slipped a hand from his pocket, green plasma bursting from his finger tips and writhing around his hand up to his wrist. He stifled the glow without even moving, before slipping it back into his pocket. Done, as if to explain without words what kind of sparring that was... as if it was enough of an explanation.

Rob shrugged. "Nothing besides some sore spots." he admitted. He'd only rolled on his shoulder and landing on limbs too hard perhaps, but otherwise he was fine. "What do they call that? Heal bending?" he raised a brow. He didn't seem to concerned about it- but didn't bother asking or acknowledging if this new girl was in the same situation. Stunning greens then turned to the new girl, giving her attention and shifting from Lien.

"So where'd you come from?" he asked, gesturing his head to Alishia.

[Alishia]

"Whoa!" She exclaimed at seeing Rob's hands so ablaze in green energy. "Where did yo- Nevermind." She said shaking her head. Some things were better left unknown.

Seeing her question wasn't going to be answered any time soon, she shrugged. Whatever bending was she assumed it was the same, or at least similar, to witchcraft. At Rob's question she shrugged. "My mom and I travel quite a bit, but we mostly reside in Agrabah where my dad, the sultan, lives with my step-mom and half-sister." She said, wondering just where Karimah was at this moment. Karimah and Alishia were not the closest of sisters, but she didn't want her to wander out there alone. Besides, if anything happened to Agrabah's precious princess she'd be the prime suspect.

"What about you guys?" She asked Rob and Lien.

[Lien]

Lien scowled at Alishia's words. 'Water Witch', that's what those who didn't like her mother called her and Lien. Her hands clenched at her sides as she tried to reign in her temper, there was no way that Alishia could have known that, she probably had meant no offense but it still brought up bad memories.

"I am not a witch." Lien said somewhat frostily "I'm a waterbender."

She turned her head to Rob, heal bending? It took quite a bit of self-restraint not to laugh at that.

"It's still waterbending, some waterbenders can heal...infact at the Northern Water Tribe during the war, that's all female waterbenders were trained to do." her eyes turned to Kaya "That's until Mom came along."

[Rob]

Rob shrugged at Alishia's surprise at his abilities, maintaining that bored look. Green eyes shifted briefly between the two girls, as Lien seemed to show some hostility towards this girl for calling her a witch. He didn't address it, but it was noted.

"Mom's a former villain, got her powers from some stupid asteroid." he shrugged, "Dad's half-dragon." he repeated himself. Though these were in truth not ordinary things for parents, or anyone even, he spoke of it in a cool tone. Eyes turned to Lien when she restrained from laughing, though he'd picked up on some amusement, allowing a small shadow of a smile to form on his features. One could guess that he'd intended for it to cause the girl to laugh. Though he didn't respond besides a nod, running a hand through his black hair, letting it fall into place messily over his eyes.

[Alishia]

"Woah cool down, I get it. Not a witch." She said slightly amused. "It's not exactly a bad thing. My mother is a witch of the sand, and so am I. Didn't mean anything bad by ti, it's just that the only healing I've ever heard of was my mother's healing spell." She said trying to explain herself and not anger the waterbender further.

"Well... that's quite an interesting family you have there." She said, shocked at Rob's parentage. She had never heard of any real dragons but apparently there were some where he came from. "I wouldn't be surprised if your uncle was Bigfoot or something. Weirdest thing I've got in my 'family' is a Genie and a Magic carpet." She loved them like they were family, but technically they weren't. Unlike some people, they understood that her mother's mistake was not her fault. She just wished her evil step-sister and step-mother could understand that as well. Okay... they weren't evil, far from it, they were actually very nice. But towards Alishia they acted like she was related to Jafar or something.

"That's not exactly normal either." Kaya said in a 'duh' tone. "About as eccentric as a Dragon anyways." She said. At Lien's comment Kaya couldn't help but laugh. "Yeah... mom really changed that, huh?" She said with a chuckle.

[Lien]

Lien nodded at Kaya's words, her blue eyes never leaving Alishia. She clearly hadn't intended the 'witch' comment to be an insult but it brought up to many bad memories for Lien to easily brush it aside. All the memories of snide comments and barely hidden insults rose in her mind, try as she might to suppress them. Sometimes it wasn't even insults, her parents tried to hide the facts from Lien and Sozu when they were young, but they both knew, there had been more than one assasination attempt.

The conversation shifted and Lien stayed silent. Her eyes focused on one spot on the ground, she almost instinctively wrapped herself in a self-hug and tried to get her mind to focus on something different.

[Rob]

Rob only shrugged to the girls comment on his heritage. It wasn't normal at all, so he didn't take offense to it. Green eyes shifted to Lien briefly, the girl having fallen silent and dazed. He allowed a short moment to pass in which he watched her, inspecting her before brushing his shoulder against hers. Not rough, but gentle with enough force to suggest some sort of acknowledgment from him. That in itself, getting Rob to notice and do anything even simple, was something of an accomplishment.

[Alishia]

Kaya put her arm around her sister out of habit. Back home she was known as the protector of her siblings. Never letting harm come to them emotionally or physically, and if it did she'd work her hardest to make it right again or comfort them. Unlike Lien, people had no problems with her parents union, and so she wouldn't know what being tormented because of your herritage was like. She still didn't quite grasp what Lien was upset about, all she knew was Lien was upset and that was enough for Kaya.

Alishia suddenly felt bad for calling her that, sensing the tension. She didn't exactly see what the harm in being called a witch was, but it was obvious that Lien didn't like it. "I-I'm really sorry for calling you a witch I just..." She trailed off, trying -and failing- to do some damage control. "I just have this tendency to say the wrong thing, I... I didn't mean to hurt you. Are you alright?" She asked with pleading blue eyes. The thing about Alishia was that she hated making people feel bad, at least nice people. Whenever she did she tried her hardest to make it up to them, though Alishia didn't really know how she would do that in this case.
