As Daijin neared the edge of the forest, he spotted the brightly-clad figure resting on a rock near its edge.  His hand insstinctively reaching for his sword as his side, he moved to release his grip as he realized the person seemed to not be any immediate danger.  Thought she had a weapon, she seemed slightly...sickly.  Possibly recovering from previous illness.<br/><br/>Then as he came even closer, he came to recognize the figure.  Even though his formative years had been somewhat sheltered, he'd still heard of the prodigal pyromancer, a woman of impressive firebending capablilites.  Thought she has now been some years removed from her grand career, she was still famous.<i>I have yet to hear of anything of interest from the locals in this area.  I wonder what could bring her here?</i><br/><br/>Finally coming near enough to engage in coversation, he squared off and bowed as a courtesy.  "It's strange to find the illustrious Fire Master Lawan in the middle of nowhere.  Forgive me if I am too forthcoming, but I<i>have</i>heard of you, and last I heard you were in the Fire Nation.  If you'll pardon this random passer-by, might I know if there's something of interest nearby?  This region is rather...new to me."  If she was here for a show, being the dancer she was, then it might mean that many from the Fire Nation could be traveling in this area, and there could be any number of his father's agents among them.  It was possibly that Daijin was being paranoid about everything, and that it could just be that this Lawan lady was merely traveling for her own benefit, but it was best to know as much as he could about current events in the region.<br/><br/>Daijin's ear twitched at what he thought to be the sound of...combat?...nearby, but he blamed it on a trick of the wind as he waited for Lawan's reply.
