The training instilled in him from a young age by almost his entire family stuck with him, and he was up early, doing an hour of intense training to keep his skills sharp and honed. After that, he threw on some clothes and the armor made for him by Grandma Suyin. He didn't look like one of the metal police, just like a citizen of Zaofu far from home. But it worked just fine and was retractable so you wouldn't even know he had it until he activated it. Like his grandma, the bottoms of his feet were bare so he could sense the Earth and people around him, but he wasn't focusing on them too hard.<br/><br/>He was just taking advantage of some free time he got. No pro-bending training right now, no meetings, no nothing. Just Tao time. And Tao time was soon interrupted when his stroll was stopped by a bunch of roadwork. Earthbenders had blocked off a portion of the street, and they had rocks and mortar and metal beams floating around everywhere. Tao didn't pay too much attention; he just moved to a different part of the street to get by. And that was when things went wrong.<br/><br/>Some kind of bug stung one of the guys bending the metal, and with his cry of shock, several girders fell from the sky. "WATCH OUT!!" Tao had just walked by a girl who practically "screamed" tourist, but they were less than a foot apart and the girders were falling directly on them. He skipped back, making sure he was right next to the girl, then threw his arms up, stopping the girders only a few feet from their heads. After that, he made a few movements that flipped all the girders to their sides, then stacked them up neatly on the ground. Turning to her with a smile, he ran his fingers through his blond hair and sighed. "That was a close call; you okay? I'm Tao."
