“Hey you there, you with the funny face,” Lo called as she approached the young earthbender, “I saw you knick some of the hair combs off our porch the other day”
“Those were expensive hair combs, a present from our late mother, ” Li chimed in from behind Skoochy, closing in on him slowly.
“Now we’d like if you’d give them back…you do know who we are don’t you?’ Both ladies asked in unison looking down upon the young boy from either side.
“Uhhh…,” Skoochy blanched, his adam’s apple bobbing up and down. Looking from one old lady to the other, he reached into his vest, pulling out the combs in question.
“You mean these?” he asked, putting on his best (terrible) impersonation of an innocent grin.
"I knew it, I knew it!" hissed Lo, snatching the combs with her sharp fingers. She quickly began polishing them on the edge of her silk scarf, scrubbing furiously at the already glinting stones.
A bony hand clenched around Skoochy's wrist nearly cutting off his circulation. "Now we ought to take you to the police you little street rat..." Li added as she squeezed the boys arm even tighter, remarkably strong for her appearance.
"Or..." Lo chimed in, her eyes glinting, "You could help us with a few simple chores and we'll forget this little incident."
