[Bolin is sitting in his earth tent. Those who saw it originally built will notice that it has a few cushions and a sleeping bag inside now, a few comforts Bolin was able to get with the munny he had earned from fighting Nightmares. Ping was sleeping on his back, his stomach rising and falling.

Bolin was sitting at an earth-made "table" and trying to look serious or, at the very least, professional. Now, why would someone like Bolin pull this kind of face? Well, let him explain.]

So, I'm mostly settled now I think. Thanks for everyone's help.

What I wanted to ask about though was jobs here in Traverse Town. I know I can get munny from taking out Nightmares, but that gets a little monotonous and so I figured there had to be something ELSE to do to pass the time. I started wondering what Mako would do if he were here and that's when it hit me: he would get a job!

What do you guys think? Are there any places around town that need some help? Even if it's menial labor or dirty jobs, I don't mind. I can do heavy lifting too and running deliveries wouldn't be a problem either since Ping and I can handle the nightmares. I've done stuff like that before for the Triple Threats too. Guard work too, actually.

See? I have a lot of skills that can be helpful. What do you say? Please hire me?

[Bolin's not.

But he's also not sure what to say to this very large man. It's not that he's intimiated it's just that he's not sure what to talk about. After racking his brain for a few seconds he finally came up with something.]

So Even owns the potion shop. What's the name of the guy who owns the tea shop? [Beat.] How long have you known them anyway, Aeleus?

[earthshatter]

Ienzo's in charge of the tea shop. I've known him most of his life, at this point. As for Even... I've know him for well over a decade.

[buymedumplings]

Ienzo. Got it.

[He nods.]

Sounds like you've known them a long time then.

[earthshatter]

I have, yes.

[buymedumplings]

[Silence. Wow, yeah, Bolin has no idea how to continue this conversation.]

Must be nice to have old friends here.

[earthshatter]

It is, but it is also concerning. Things were not well settled at home as of when we arrived.

[buymedumplings]

Really? How so?

[Nevermind that it's none of his business. Bolin just wants to make conversation. Besides, given what he went through before coming here he has a slight idea of what "not well settled" was.]

[earthshatter]

It's... hard to explain.

[buymedumplings]

Oh. Sorry, I guess it's really not my place to ask.

[he smiles sheepishly.]

[earthshatter]

It's not that. It's merely a situation that strain credulity. I wouldn't know where to begin.
