The good ship Serenity, in a situation that has Iroh very confused...

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

After leaving the Cafe with Vi, Iroh found himself somewhere very dark. For some strange reason he thought it best to stay hidden in the metallic alcove where he and Vi were standing. Something about this place was very foreign and just a little hostile.

Things were rattling; the walls were metal. Iroh was reminded strongly of the prisons of Ba Sing Se. He was very confused as to his whereabouts, and so he turned to Vi.

"Do you know where that man has led us?" he asked her.

The purple-haired woman nodded with a slight smirk to cover her awe and surprise. "It's a ship that flys 'tween the bloomin' stars."

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"Between stars?" he asks, agape. "How... how is that possible?"

[random_xtras]

"No idea, mate." The arm that sneaked out to wrap around his shoulders belied her confident expression as she realized just how much steel she was surrounded by.

He grinned to himself: at the very least he was in this strange place with quite the lovely lady.

"So where should we go?"

[random_xtras]

She started to reply, but then gave a little yelp as the door of their closet was suddenly yanked open and she found herself face to face with the muzzle of a gun.

"I knew it." The stern-faced black woman on the other side of the weapon said grimly. "Jayne's been roaming again and brought home stowaways."

"Rest assured!" Iroh cried out, forcing himself not to firebend in a place like this. "We mean you no harm."

[random_xtras]

"We're peaceful." Violet lifted her hands slowly. "Savvy?"

The woman looked at them, taking in their strange garments and Violet's hair and eyes, then backed up and jerked the gun to let them know that they should come out of the closet and walk in front of her.

"Iroh who? Where ya from? How'd ya get on my boat?"

"I can talk too, ye know." Violet scowled.

"Wait ya turn, toots." The captain gave her a passing glance and turned back to Iroh.

"General Iroh? The Dragon of the West? Many people know me by many names. And I am currently residing in the city of Ba Sing Se. We got here by following... someone." He smiled, stroking his beard thoughtfully. "We sought only to travel somewhere, and it seems that we have ended up somewhere where we were not welcome."

[random_xtras]

"Never heard'a ya. Or the city." A pointed look toward the guy in the hat. "Yeah, followin' someone...."

Then he shrugged and turned to Violet.

"The name's Violet Sparrow, 'n I'm but a sailor seekin' adventure with my good mate here." She put a hand on Iroh's shoulder.

"Where ya from?" The captain's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Er." She sighed. "Noplace, right now."

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"She's right, you know." Iroh said, shrugging.

[random_xtras]

"What?" He got frowned at.

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"We were just looking for an adventure."

[random_xtras]

She shrugged, head cocked as she listened to the interesting sounds coming from the back of the ship. "You pick, luv."

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

He shrugged and pointed to one of the metal doors. "How about this one?"

[random_xtras]

"Sure." She watched Zoe walk away, then gave him a quick peck on the cheek and disapeared. "Be right back."

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

He blinked, raising a hand to his cheek. "Of course."

[random_xtras]

She was gone for several minutes, then walked back with grease on her nose and a thoughtful look on her slightly pale face.

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

"Where did you go?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at the greasemark on her nose.

[random_xtras]

She sighed and washed her hands, hissing and saying very creative things as some of the blisters broke and her blackish blood stained the water.

He winced and rooted in his pockets for a tub of burn ointment. "Try this," he said. "It has herbs in it that will cool those burns down."

[random_xtras]

Violet started to turn and look at him, but came over strange and decided to sit on the floor with her head down instead.

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

He knelt down on the floor beside her. "Are you alright, Vi?"

[random_xtras]

"Feelin' hungover as @$$&@#&," she muttered without looking up, her wounded hands clenching absently.

"Maybe you should rest?"
