<span style="font-family:Palanquin">Whether they were a fair distance away from their pursuers or not wasn’t enough to put Jinora’s sense of anxiety at ease and despite him sitting right beside her, she couldn’t stop herself from glancing over her shoulder almost as though she expected to see them in a car right behind the bus. Of course, that wasn’t actually the case and if it was, then the men in suits would be stupid idiots for trying something like that. They clearly needed to regroup at the very least and put together a new plan. None of them had expected Jinora to become a problem like she had and none of them had expected her to team up with their intended target either. All of it managed to catch them by surprise. <br/>
<br/>
“They will be persistent,” Jinora assured him. “Give it a few days and we’ll see them again somewhere along our path.” In all honesty, she wasn’t sure if it would be a few days or sooner. She’d never seen how they worked when they put serious effort into something. At least, none of their chases while she had been with them had seemed all that serious. Jinora didn’t want to make the mistake of underestimating them. <br/>
<br/>
South. It was something, and her mind flickered through memories of maps that she had seen in her time, trying to figure out the different locations that might be open to them or the ones that might not necessarily be safe for them to dwell in. The Chicago area had always been her home base when she’d been with W.I.N.T.E.R. so she’d seen plenty of the area itself. Maps were a different story, though. She knew she had seen some. She just had to remember which ones. <br/>
<br/>
The university, though… the minute he said that, her mind flickered just a bit. “We shouldn’t get too close to the university,” she muttered softly. “They have training facilities there and… it’s just dangerous and easier for us to get caught.” She wasn’t lying, but there was more to it than that. Jinora’s father had worked for the university at one point. They’d funded some of his research. She just felt extremely conflicted when she was in that area and she didn’t want to deal with those feelings right now, not when she was supposed to be focused on running. <br/>
<br/>
However, that didn’t seem to be enough to stop them from getting off nearby and it was clear that Jinora was on edge. She didn’t resist him leading her where he led her, but she was looking everywhere at every single second. One glance in one direction wasn’t enough to ensure their safety according to her eyes. <br/>
<br/>
“They track me through my eyes, yes,” Jinora answered. “There’s… uhm… it’s like a computer. A computer runs my eyes and only I can access it. The only way they would let me live was if I gave them access information and I don’t know how to change it now. I… I never learned how to… how to use my eyes completely. My dad… he was supposed to be able to teach me.” And clearly, he couldn’t now.</span>
