"Now that this city has some peace, if not quiet on it's way. I'd say you're on Kuma." she said to him smiling, the healing that the Waterbender performed on Hanabi's hand was doing the trick, fire was great medicine, but no where near water's level. "You know, I once considered being a medic, using my Firebending to heal those dying of fever or cold by helping to mitigate or add to the temperature in their body. But, I can't stop being a fighter."

Hanabi sighed looking over at the window a grin on her face, "I'm not gonna play any part to bribery and turning a blind eye to crime. But... I'm gonna probably set out on a journey of my own soon." she said, "I've not set foot near my father's statue, it was made for him, one of many that decorate a stone garden. All the admirals have one. It's beautiful this time of year I wager. The fire nation will be coming into bloom... and since my father has no grave to visit, I can think of no better place to visit then that statue."

Hanabi stood up looking at Kuma, "If you wanna fight me you'll have to follow me, I welcome fights, but I'm not gonna stop everything I'm doing for one."

Hanabi finally walked over to Kugi, "We spoke earlier, about training your daughter to be a Firebender... I've been thinking about it sitting here. I want to apprentice Kyoko under me. This city is cooling down, but it's still not entirely safe. I wanted to know if I could take Kyoko with me and begin teaching her, it is an apprenticeship that will last her whole life. She will travel with me. Learn my style if she is willing to go." She said to Kugi totally seriously, "Most people think Tsubaki is dead, so laying low for a little while will keep her safe, but Kyoko could still be in danger, and, for this stage of apprenticeship I want to keep her at my side." She looked him in the eye, "I am still your subordinate, and after this pilgrimage to my father's statue, I will return here and she will continue to train with you around after the pilgrimage. But I will occasionally go on such pilgrimages." She looked at Kyoko and back at Kugi, "These pilgrimages could take some time, as it is international travel, but she will spend the great majority of her life with you."

Hanabi looked Kugi squarely in the eye, "The choice is yours, if you accept, then it is Kyoko's choice rather or not she wants to do it."
