[Well, this doesn't happen every day. Yuri's just sitting there, minding his own business, in the middle of drinking his own drink when the old lady walks in.

Hearing her voice, he peeks open an eye and glances in her direction. Putting down his glass he heaves a little sigh before getting up and moving over to lean against the bar next to her. A smile on his face.]

Hey grandma, this isn't exactly a tea house you know. It's just down the street.

[He says this while jabbing a thumb in the general direction that he was talking about.]

[Some might have taken offense to being referred to as grandmother.]

[Yin took offense to those who took offense; being a grandmother was one of the greatest joys in her life. Her family meant everything to her, and few things brought a warm smile to her face than the moniker. Whether it was her own grandchildren using it, or even a perfect stranger.]

I know where I am. A place that serves drinks. Tea is a drink, and therefore, I see nothing wrong with requesting it here.

[Good to know that you're on the same page Grandma Yin! Yuri might come off pretty rude, but he actually respects his elders. He just has a thing for nicknames, especially if he doesn't know your real name. And grandma just seemed to fit her. At her reply though, Yuri rubs a hand across the back of his head.]

Guess I can't really argue with that, huh?

[Truth be told, he's not even sure they even have tea at all. But well.]

So, where you from, grandma?

[heartiswherethehomeis]

My family has resided in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se for many years.

[The poor district. But she spoke the name with pride, unwilling to admit or display or even feel shame.]

[wolfstrike]

Hey, a fellow citizen of the Lower Ring! That's where I'm from.

[It's a small world isn't it? Yuri certainly is not unhappy to meet someone else from the Lower Ring.]

What brings you all the way out to Republic City, Grandma?

[heartiswherethehomeis]

Is that so? I thought I knew every young man from our old neighborhood.

[Of course, there were any number of reasons for them to have never met.]

I am here to seek a new life for my family. We have had...many grave misfortunes strike recently.

[wolfstrike]

[Yuri just laughs a little. She's obviously not from his end of the Lower Ring, but hey, he's cool with meeting new people from there.]

Yeah? Same here.

[While they weren't related to him by blood, the community that raised him in the Lower Ring were the closest thing he had to family.]

How'd you guys get out?
