Lakano appreciated how much Bairu worked while they were in towns. While he still had some money left from home, though that was Water Tribe money of course, and the money had gotten from the boat, he felt a bit… unhelpful, if that was the right term. He didn’t feel like he did enough. He watched the campsite, sure, which wasn’t really needed. He got dinner, so that was… something. He practiced his Waterbending. He just felt… like he didn’t have enough things to fill his time if that even made sense. He spent most of his day just waiting for Bairu to come home, and while that was fine, sometimes he felt like he needed more to do... though he really didn't have anything else to do, and couldn't think of any way to spend his time other than doing more training.

Lakano nodded. “Sure, that sounds great,” he said. “Not much to do these days, anyway, so it wouldn’t hurt to take another look around.” And it would be nice not to be alone all day. Bairu was his friend, and he really did enjoy his company. He finished off the baba. “So, shall we go then?” The girl with a crush had glanced over at them again, and for some reason, now it was getting a little bit annoying. “I’m sure we can find someplace to have some lunch if we get hungry after a while.” Besides, it would be best if they left before the girl tried to come over. Bairu could handle himself and the situation, but it would be easier if he didn't have to deal with it at all. Besides, Bairu wanted to look around, and they couldn't do that here.
