so, I'm going to need to to NPC Shen for a month or so. I'm not sure how far we'll get into the game while he's gone but he's going to be kept busy with something.<br/>thought: would people be offended if some time was fast forwarded like mostly just after the dinner?<br/>Shen is going to presumably going to attend to his mother as she has been left alone by his very sick father in Republic City. Lu Ten and Mei will catch onto some suspicious activity and Shiroe and Akari will be having a water bending lesson while all that's going on.
