The soldiers from earlier had looked into the man they'd seen at the clinic, while there were many men wanted in the firenation few were ex military which they could tell from witness descriptions of his garb. It didn't take much to head back to the clinic and ask where he was headed, the Che'Shi residence was the short reply. The hot headed commander grimaced, technically the residence was harboring a criminal, the clinic couldn't be held at fault he admitted angerly. The establishment was sworn to aninimity that the soldiers had to respect, but the comander wanted someone to blame since it didn't seem like he would be able to pin Dr. Praaghi's humble hospital.
The trip the the Che' Shi residence was a short once for the comander, all the while he was chomping at the bit, hoping to catch the man and get himself a small taste of glory. A simple knock at the door lead the butler to respond holding the door open. The man was a bit taken back by the soldiers, despite his years of service it was still a surprise to see the military at the door step " Can I help you?"
" There is a man seen coming here by the name of Teiu, he's wanted by the firenation for treason, bring him out now and we have no reason to give you any trouble." The man's expression grew grim and serious, the two soldiers flanking him faltered a bit, this was an upper class family, could they do anything to them? They couldn't go against orders but they were rather nervous about the situation, the butler settled on a firm expression doing his best to not conceal the truth for the sake of the family he served. He wasn't a fool, this could shame them if it went around they were aligning themselves with criminals.
" There is no one by that name here, a man, Tenma I believe stayed for dinner then left, thats all we know. " Still the comander didn't seem too appeased, the soldier on the left blanched, he's taken the young lady Che' Shi to the clinic, she wouldn't have known what trouble she'd unleashed. " Sir I believe they're telling the truth, we shou-"
"Hush" came the harsh reply from the comander sending a glare at the young soldier, he was out of place to speak in his presence, the goose chase was turning the man even more bitter than he usually was. " Detain the occupants of the house, I want them questioned, I want the household under cirvaleance in case the man returns." Pushing his way into the house the comanader was angry enough to burn the place down, to him, his decision was lieniant.

Xin murmured sleepily as she heard someone rummaging about her room, soon she felt her shoulder shake and her eyes opened sleepily, she recognized the hushed voice as one of the maids, the woman helped her up and out of her expensive robes into some of her more casual clothes, she remembered wearing them on her first trip. She was perplexed, not completely awake even as she tied the scarlet sash over her purple blush and gold trimmed tunic.
Quickly she pulled her hair back into a ponytail a rather sloppy one at that, if she hadn't sensed urgency in the womans movements she would have taken the time to fix it. A pack was pushed into her hands. Quietly she noted it was rather heavy, was she going somewhere. " Xin head back to the earth kingdom and to New Ozai with your family, understand me sweet heart?" Xin gaze the woman a confused look, was something happening? A small wave of fear crossed over her, quickly she took Teiu's pack and attempted to get Xue out of the cage, all she was able to do was open the door before she was pulled into a hug. With that the startled girl was pushed out into the back courtyard.
The hamster-kitty twitched his nose at his new found freedom, but he watched his master leave so after the maid moved to secure his cage the white puffball of a creature slipped out of the cage and out the door after his dear Xin, he would not be left behind.
