Hocus	Hocus opened his eyes in the morning but could not see. His mask was tilted, and the eyeholes were off. He'd become used to these sorts of problems, and he quickly adjusted it so that the slits allowed him to see. It was an overcast day today. He'd just looked at a clear, starry sky last night, and the transition seemed a bit strange. He just hoped that it didn't rain, it was never a pleasant event on the balloon. So many metal object that invited lightning in. Wait, was he on a mat? Hocus had not fallen asleep on any sort of sleeping receptacle in a very long time. He was used to passing out during any sort of task and waking up a few hours later. He usually continued what he was doing when he woke up. Sometimes the task he had been doing was important to keeping the ship afloat, but he always managed to save himself. The more Hocus thought about it, it was a miracle he hadn't had a fatal crash yet. So many hazardous factors went into flying this balloon. He sat up and, oh that girl was still here. Ruki. He walked over to her, squatted, and stared at her for a while. What a weird girl, who else would join a complete stranger on an airship after he destroyed a building they were inside of? He was worried she would come to regret it and leave. He wasn't sure if he'd let her leave. Looking to the horizon, Hocus could see that the ship was flying over Ba Sing Se, he wondered if they needed to stop there for any sort of supplies. He might be low on fuel. But if they stopped, would Ruki just get off and leave? Hocus hadn't realized how lonely he'd been up here until yesterday. Was she waking up? Hocus was still staring at her.

Ruki Nakamura	For a moment or two, Ruki was in a strange state. Her mind was awake, but her body was still sleeping. She thought about things, mostly the wonderful dreams she'd had. Most of them involved the airship and making stops in strange places with strange creatures. One of them was where she ended up well known for her contribution to world discovery through the travels. Another was where she became a well known travelling proprietor of rare desirables. Eventually her eyes opened to softened light--the clouds above prevented the glaring sun to shine in her eyes. It took her a moment to recall where she was as her eyes focused. She let out a small frightened squeak, sitting up and scrambling away for a split second as she looked at Hocus' mask before remembering who he was. She took a few gulps of air, a hand over her heart as though to still the frenzied beating. "'Morning," she eventually said with a small breathless smile, stretching for a few seconds. Small popping noises ensued from between her shoulder blades, and she sighed with relief before looking around at the boxes and crates, her shoes by her mat and her jacket still laid over her as a sort of blanket.

Hocus	Oh no, he'd scared Ruki. She was shocked awake, backing up so quickly that Hocus was worried she'd run into something and knock some object or another onto her head. She put her hand on her heart and took deep breathes. Oh no, he'd done it now, she was going to leave for sure. He'd never have a friend again in his life. And then, "Morning." Hocus let out an audible laugh, mostly from relief. He thought he'd spooked her right out of his life. "Did you sleep well?" he asked. A small rain drop lightly touched his hand. Regardless of whether they needed fuel, Hocus needed to take the ship down. He was not going to deal with a storm right now, it was far too dangerous. "Umm..." he quickly explained, "It's about to storm, and we need to land. I guess we'll be visiting Ba Sing Se." he said. He climbed a ladder to one of the balloons and put the fire out. Only two balloons were picking up all of the ship's weight, so they began descending at a decent pace. He scrambled back down the ladder and stood in from of Ruki.
