NonbenderTao: The fighter was at his normal training ground of course. Though he couldn't stay as long this time considering he actually had a job to do, people to lead. Even with that, it wouldn't stop him from training. It seemed to be the only thing that cleared his head, helped him think through problems. No matter how much he hated fighting, the act of it had a calming affect.
Though today he couldn't shake something. Something important was staring him right in the face and he just couldn't for the life of him figure it out. He sighed as he wiped his face with the towel he had brought along, looking down at the weapons and other items he had brought with him. Among them was a dagger, one of the most beautiful handcrafted ones he had seen - Yet he had found it, right in this area. No one seemed to care that it was missing. Nor could he figure out what had caused the ground around it to be red. It was confusing to him and he wanted to know why.
He sighed, decided to pack up and call it a day. As he was shoving his things back into his bag, he noticed something out of the corner of his eye. The fighter looked up and he saw Chen, with that he was instantly relaxing - atleast he didn't have to worry about being attacked today.
“Hey Chen, I’m about to leave if you need the area.”
============
Chen almost breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tao in the training yard. That meant at least he was armed and alert. He'd counted on the fact that Tao seemed to train as much as he did. However that still didn't mean his place was safe. Chen was not happy that he'd have to reveal what he did to another person, but just because he worked for the order didn't mean he didn't have a moral justice of right and wrong. Chen shook his head taking a moment to catch his breath. Damn that last mission"
"No,I was looking for you. We do not have a lot of time for me to explain everything," He looked around and spoke low so only Tao could hear" but believe me when I say there is a hit out on the new leader of the Antiva"
He did not expect Tao to react well to that information. He knew he wouldn't but they did not have alot of time and Chen wasn't at 100%. His only advantage right now was that he knew the skills and style of everyone who'd been at the meeting. Chen himself was the orders best kept secret, his face was always shrouded in shadow.
He held up his hands and arms away from his body, his side was already protesting but he ignored it." I don't expect you to trust me right now, but being exposed right now is not the best idea, your place might not be safe either. Will you come with me?"
