[Hello, Port. Today a certain redhead is sitting propped against a wall in a small building full of birds. Being friends with someone who has enough money to buy an entire aviary is pretty great. There are definitely at least three sitting on her as she begins to speak over the various noises.]

You know, I realized nobody had ever really seen inside here except me! But I like it a whole lot. It's really calming, and it's fun to take care of them all. Back home, I used to feed the birds that lived near the school, too, so it reminds me of my world a little bit. [As she talks, a pigeon comes down and sits on her head. Blinking, she looks up with a smile.]

I guess there are new people starting to come in now, too. I wonder if— [But then she pauses before looking quite panicked. She ducks down, and though the NV is pointed in the other direction now, there is the distinct sound of a bird hitting the glass wall of the aviary, as well as the muffled beginnings of a quack.

Birds are such intelligent creatures, aren't they?]

Yeah, it's fine! It was a little stunned at first, but now it's okay.

Glad to hear it.

You seem to have an affinity for birds.

[motioned]

Yeah, I really like them!

Thats good to hear. Do you intend to eventually move into a career with them, or is it more of a hobby for you?

[Personally he found the animals on this entire island a bit off]

I don't really know yet! I guess if I'm still here when I get older, then I'll decide.

[tea_lover64]

I suppose that is fair. You are still young. Do you have any preferences back home?

[motioned]

Well, um... I really like dancing! Even if I'm not so good at it.

[tea_lover64]

As with most skills, time and practice will show you vast improvement. As long as you stay dedicated to the art, you will continue to become better at it.

[motioned]

Yeah, I know! I'm really looking forward to it.

[tea_lover64]

Excellent.

Have you been taking lessons here from someone?

[motioned]

I've taken them from a few people!

[tea_lover64]

[He strokes his beard for a moment]

That certainly has its benefits.

Have you mastered any styles?

[motioned]

Not yet! I'm trying my hardest at ballet, though.

[tea_lover64]

Well having a solid core should make learning others easier.

You must have very good balance!

[motioned]

I don't, really! But I'm trying my hardest to be more coordinated.

[tea_lover64]

Well, I do know a thing or two on improving balance.

[motioned]

Really? What is it?

[tea_lover64]

Well, I have been involved in martial arts for most of my life.

[Its a requirement of being the Fire Lord's son]

There are several training exercises which focus on improving balance, as well as generally strengthening your core.

[motioned]

What are they?

[tea_lover64]

Well, first and foremost simply doing sit ups, are helpful towards it. The abdominals are part of your center, if they are strong, you can maintain stances better.

[motioned]

Okay, I'll definitely try that!

[tea_lover64]

Hopefully it will help with your dancing.

[motioned]

I hope so, too! Thank you for the advice.

So late, but this should finish it up

[tea_lover64]

Always happy to help. I look forward to one day seeing a performance.

Fare well, Ahiru.
