"I never was any good at it. But Angela insisted..." She trailed off, looking back at the water. She smiled lightly, remembering the crazy old woman.

"I can teach you how. It's important for all benders to meditate."

"Really? That'd be really amazing of you..." She said, smiling widely. "It's easy with water. It's just... fluid motion, in my head. But with air, it's... much, much harder." She shrugged, stretching while making sure not to knock Iera off her head.

Iera chattered, digging through her hair. 'Iera.' She looked at Imro and flew back onto his head.

She laughed, still smiling. She replaced a stray strand of short black hair that had been knocked askew, then chuckled. "Okay, Master, how do we start this?"

He sat next to her, legs crossed. "Find a comfortable position first of all. Make sure your spine is straight, but you don't have to hold yourself up."

That was easy enough. She recrossed her legs, taking a deep breath to set herself into a good position. "Okay." She said, nodding.

She found that when she actually wanted to learn, and had a teacher that wasn't hitting her over the head with a stick when she breathed wrong, it was much easier to relax and do it right. She closed her eyes, listening to Imro's voice and concentrating on it.

He slowly led her into a deep meditation. His voice was fairly deep and soothing which helped a lot.

She remained completely silent but for her measured breathing, the smile falling off her face to be replaced with an almost sleep-like emotionless-ness.

He smiled and fell silent to let her enjoy it for a while.

She stayed that was for several minutes, until she let out a long, slow breath and opened her eyes. "That's amazing. I've never been so at peace before." She said, voice still quiet. Her face was lit by a light smile.

He smiled. "That's what meditation is all about."
"Now see how different your bending is," Kayan said.

She nodded, smiling again. She stood up, standing ankle-deep in the still cold water, and proceeded to see exactly how different her bending was. It came easier, instead of being a chore, and was more a part of herself than just something she did. "Wow. That's the most amazing thing ever!" She said, letting the water fall gently back down to the pond.

Tsuki looked up. "My mother did, too, but she always just said she'd teach me when I was older. Then that old hag tried to teach me, but I was a bit too rebellious for her." She said the 'old hag' part with a fondness in her voice.

Kayan nodded. "Imro taught all of us. Even Zira has enough patience to do it even though it probably doesn't seem like it." The airbender nodded and bowed slightly before walking off.

Tsuki smiled. "I'm really glad I met all of you." She said, stretching her legs and arms while she stifled a yawn. She watched Imro walk off, then looked at Kayan with a grin.

Kayan smiled back. "Glad I met you too. It's been way too long since I last saw another waterbender."

She nodded. "Yeah, my mother is the only waterbender I'd met before you. Variation is good." She grinned, then laughed.

She nodded, smiling, then jumped as a blast of fire shot near her. Zira and Tei were in the middle of a heated battle, though Kayan didn't look worried.

"Is it safe to let them do that?" Tsuki asked, noticing the vicinity of the house and all of the things that could be smashed/burned. She looked at Kayan.

Tei stomped his foot and Zira went flying a way's away. "Yeah," Kayan said. "Tei's in really great control. If you notice, he always sends her farther away when they get too close."

She watched, the concern falling off her face. "It's really amazing. So, are they like, a couple?" It was amazing how much she didn't know about her friends.
