Malin stood and sat down next to Keydin, all of them sitting in a tight not circle. He grabbed the blanket that had held the rations, and shook it to see a bunch of empty wrapperps cans and boxes. "YOU PIGS! DIDNT THINK ENOUGH TO SAVE ANY FOR ME!?!" Malin yelled, quickly apologising for his outburst. Once Keydin answered Malin sighed. "Yes but my question is, should we tell them about our parents and the base? They'd be best suited for helping us but we could be sending hundreds of lives to their death, as well as compromising ourselves shoukd our where abouts become known to the enemy. Are we willing to risk it?" Malin tried to hide the worry in his eyes he genuinely had no clue what to make, and he looked to Keydin for reassurance, but had no idea if he could even offer Malin that.
Malin recalled a conversatiom he had had with Master Quin just days before the attack. He had been informed that Master Quin had wanted to see him in his chambers. "You called Sir?" Malin asked as he entered the office. Master Quin was seated at his desk, his face burried in a scroll unravled at his desk, but he looked up from it when Malin entered and smiled. "Ah. Malin. Come... take a seat and shut the door behind you." Malin did as he was told, shutting the door and taking a seat across the desk from Master Quin.
"May I ask why you called me here, sir?" The boy had asked. "Ah. Yes." Master Quinn started. "So... you are aware that you and the others are the next generation of the White Lotus, correct?" Malin nodded. "And you are aware that the title of Grand Lotus is given to the one deemed fit enough, to handle leadership over the White Lotus, correct?" Malin nodded. "Well... As history has claimed, we've never had a non-bender become Grand Lotu... but I predict that will change some time in the near future. " Malin looked at Master Quin with a confused look. "I don't follow you, sir." Malin responded.
"Don't play coy with me." Mater Quin warned. "I know you understand." In all honesty, Master Quin was right, he did under stand. Malin was just confused as to how this assumption was reached. "Sorry Sir." Malin apologized. "It's alright, I understand that you are curious as to how this has all been brought about, but I've been watching." Master Quin stood up from his chair and slowly began making his way around it. "I see you in training. I see the determination in your eyes, the drive to do better. I see the extraordinary skill you have, that would take many adult chi blockers years to obtain. I see the leadership skills, that lie within you... Untapped. I see the flack you get for being the child of two non-benders. People think you are weak because you can't harness am element, but what they don't know is that you are as strong as any bender. You've trained your body to do things a normal human body can't do." Master Quin sat on his desk and looked down at the wide eyed boy in front of him. "Listen. In all honesty, no bender out there rival you except two." Master Quin began.
"I know... Keydin and Yang." Malin replied. "Exactly. Keydin has an immense fighting spirit and the skill to match. He also possess charisma, making him a fitting leader. Yang now, she is very intelligent and calculating, and lets not for get she's managed to turn her form of bending into an art. It's gone from something she can do, to something that is a part of her. Much like your Chi-Blocking. Be proud of your non bender origin. It doesn't take a great bender to become a good leader. Alright?" Master Quin asked.
Malin took a second to soak in all the Master had told him, and then nodded. "Yes sir."
"Alright then." Master Quin said, standing upright. "Now... I have something to show you."
Now more than ever, Malin needed reassurance. He needed to know that what he was doing was the right thing to do, but Master Quin wasn't here to give him that reassurance, so he looked to his friends. Particularly Keydin. What many would call a best friend, at least Malin felt that way. Malin was never afraid to express the way he felt she he he was around Keydin... Well sometimes. He knew he was in good company when he was around Keydin. Keydin was a safe zone in enemy territory. Keydin was the one who Malin needed to reassure him. Malin turned to Keydin, his eyes practically begging for justification and reassurance... A jester Malin felt would get lost in translation.
"It's up to you guys." He said once more with a sigh and a downwards look.
"How selfish of me too look for strength in other people when they need it just as bad as I." Malin thought.
