[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri smiled, recognizing the moves, she walked closer frowning as she looked at his form. She stepped behind him, leaning forward and whispered, "Relax your shoulders, you're too stiff."

[Little]

"Geeze!" he jumped and stumbled forward- his face tinting red. "H-how long have you been there?"

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri laughed, "Not too long, I just got here really, but your shoulders really are too stiff, if you were really bending, the water wouldn't move more than an inch."

[Little]

Nipo looked down and cleared his throat. "It's hard going from aggressive and forceful to smooth and relaxed." He shook his head and rubbed the back of his neck- still staring at the ground. "But I'm not a bender, so it doesn't matter."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri shrugged, "I guess so. But its still an art form. Its like a painter watching a little kid use his best brushes and watercolors and just press and scribble all over the page. Whether you are or not, doing ot right is still important."

[Little]

He frowned. "You sound like my mom. Aren't you missing lunch?"

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri laughed, "Come on, Bolu is ordering my food."

[Little]

Nipo shook his head. "Thank you but go on. I'm not hungry."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri put her hand on her hip, "Why not?"

[Little]

Nipo shook his head. "I'm not hungry. I don't want to be a fifth wheel and I need to work on my form apparently."

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri sat down, "Then I'll watch. Let you know what you can fix. You look lonely out here and Bolu and Tikin have been bothering me. They just don't get it. I really did lo-like Loji. And Rina could use some near alone time with Tikin. So I'll stay here with you."

[Little]

Nipo sighed. "You need to forget about that loser." He moved and got into his fire bending starting pose. "He has no respect for you and was only after one thing anyway." He wasn't going to do his water bending exercises with her watching. He didn't need any one lecturing him on his form.

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

She sighed, laying back on the grass, "Everyone says that... but... when it was just me and him, all alone, it was different. I promise it really was. Just... no one seems to believe that that's possible. When it was just me and him... Spirits he could be so sweet and kind and... then as soon as someone else was there he'd do that and start being a jerk again."

[Little]

Nipo frowned. "Then you don't know how he talks about you when you aren't there." He shook his head. "Told the entire mechanic class that you were a bad lay." He lunged forward with a punch the spun kicking the air.

[Purple-Cat-Princess]

Eri's cheeks flushed and she closed her eyes, "He's just bitter I'm the one who broke up with him. He didn't see it coming and he's been telling everyone he's the one who broke it off because of the sex. We... we never even had sex."
