It was a nice book, with brail underneath the actual letters for the blind. Of course she wasn't blind... in both eyes at least. She could see perfectly out of her right eye because it hadn't been damaged in the Metal War. Her left eye on the other hand might as well be total darkness for all it is worth. The airbender sat down on one of the stone benches of the Wu Xing Air Temple, it was a nice day. There was no rain and a slight breeze to keep the air cool this spring. The white haired woman pushed her hair back over her right ear, turning her attention back to her book. What was the book called? Black Hearts: a Tale of Two Shadowbenders. It was a tale of two shadowbenders coiled in a forbidden lusty scoundrel... Yaoi. That's right... she was one of those people. It was a good story and well... it was just good. There were footsteps around her, signalling someone was coming. She didn't even bother to look up from her book as someone approached her, knowing full well there was someone there. "Yes?" she asked not even looking up... or possibly down at whoever it was. She was getting to a good part anyway!.[/style]

Kaskae couldn't help but think about what the actual temples were like, those ones must be larger than Wu Xings, right? Well, he didn't know if he would ever find out, this place could very well be the closest he'd get to finding out how the monks lived. It wasn't often he visited the city as it was, and he usually took the time to wander over to this part of it whenever he was there, like he was some sort of tourist or something. The people there always seemed so kind too, even though he mostly just kept to himself and observed from a distance. As the water bender was wandering around aimlessly, more or less, he stumbled upon a lone woman reading while sitting on one of the many benches scattered about the temple. The main thing that caught his attention at first was her hair, because most of the other air nomads had darker locks, if any at all. And her head wasn't shaved at all in the traditional fashion for females. The more those golden eyes of his stared, the more curious he felt- What was she reading, anyway? Prepared to use that as an excuse, he made his way over to her. "Hey, what'cha reading?" Kaskae sounded more casual than anything, moving to sit down next to her when she didn't even look up at him. Maybe it was a scroll about air bending? Maybe it had some rituals or lore about spirits? Tilting his head to read the text, it didn't take him more than a few seconds to realize what, exactly, this stranger of a woman was actually reading. And the dark haired young man couldn't help but chuckle a little, shake his head. "The Shadowbender one, huh? It's a good story, I tend to like ones that are a little more action-based, though," he spoke so casually, as if just discussing the weather or something. It wasn't often that he read himself, but yaoi books did catch his attention every now and again. Made enough sense, seeing as how he liked others of his gender. [/style]

She really wasn't reading at this moment, it would break concentration to try and do both and she might not get the whole meaning after all. She didn't really look at him until he came into view, his eyes and head coming into view as he tried to read the cover of the book. By his eyes one would guess fire nation but his facial features... well mostly the clothes actually suggested Water Nation. The white haired woman looked over to him, the book remaining open on her lap. She was in the typical monk attired... partially at least. She was minus the big flowing robe part and instead wore the sash. The color here was paler than the typical super bright orange but that was common at this temple. It took less dye to make, plain and simple. "Yes, it is quite a good story... and probably the best in the series," she stated, a small smile on her face. Yes it was actually a series... who wrote them and why was a mystery but heck the books themselves were actually pretty good. Of course they were not up to the level of scrolls or ancient stories... legends... tales and the like but they were well written and fun to read. And it didn't hurt with the smexiness either. The best part is that the book was at least partial factual and the person really did their research. She tilted her head at the man. "What brings you to our temple young Water?" she asked, not acusing him or anything of the like. One could probably easily tell she was just curious. She smiled at him,"We don't get many visitors up here." The temple was on a... mountain? I guess that would be the best way to describe it, a mountain that had been pretty much cut up so the top was flat where the temple now rested. There was a water source on three sides of it as well as two water falls flowing around it. The bridge was really their only connection to the rest of the city being mostly in the lake with part of the Water Embassy. "Action based, such are the young," she said with a sigh, smiling again after she did. The young were so funny, and it wasn't that being action based was a bad thing. The young were the future after all. She just hoped they were ready for what was to come. Things were not all peaches and cream in life after all... peace would never always be there. She new that first hand from her time in the Metal War. [/style]
