Chapter 104 - Towards Ba Sing Se (1/2)

”What's with the gloom, Kat?!!”

Sokka appeared naturally and cheered loudly. His face was full of smiles while more than one set of eyes were directed towards the calm yet smiling Nina.

”Don't call me that! Gives me the creep!”

Katara immediately shivered and pushed Sokka's face back with her hand. Her eyes had darkened eye bags, contrary to everyone in the group.

Especially, Karna, Yue and Pavāka. They seemed to be glowing. Heck, Pavāka was actually glowing!

”If I didn't know better, I would think that you are afraid of sleeping alone.”

Nina tiptoed towards Katara while whispering.

”My offer still stands, you know.”

”Shut it!”

Katara snapped with a cold snort, making Nina shrug and sigh in defeat. She looked at Nik, who seemed to be discussing the route of the travel with June. While Nina was definitely impressed by the sheer intensity of hungry groans and passionate moans, she wasn't delusional enough to think that Nik didn't understand Katara's attraction for him.

This was especially so when Nina found out hos sensible Nik actually was.

Emotions cannot be reasoned with.

That statement enlightened the entire group that Nik was something more than a hirny teenager. This thought was confirmed when they actually thought how Nik's actions had already reached the point of impossibility.

Knocking a grown man twice his size with a single punch?

Using more than one elements?

Moving so leisurely with high bounties from the Water Tribe and the Fire Nation?

Lastly, that ethereal scent.

Experienced with many men, Nina understood that Nik's peculiar scent was inhumane. Monstrous, even, if the effect of the scent is analysed.

While Nina may not know, Nik was essentially a walking and living aphrodisiac, who would even affect spiritual beings like Pavāka and... Virya.

”Hey! This smell is nice. Why don't you tell me about it? The previous outer world traveler had a similar scent, but he couldn't touch or look at me.”

Virya whimpered with a flushed expression, the sudden exposure of the information earned Virya Nik's interest. Mentally taking a note to slowly find out the entirety of the situation, Nik gently smiled and touched the top of her head with the tip of his index-finger.

”It's nothing much. Natural scent.”

”Ohhh!”

Virya nodded while laying over his head and rolling around his hair.

”Nik... your hair is moving.”

Sokka pointed out while Pavāka spoke out.

”It's Sis Virya. Don't mind her, she just like soft things.”

With the existence of the invisible spirit finally confirmed, Sokka gulped and retreated a step back.

”W-well! Let's go! Ba Sing Se isn't far. Might as well complete the journey today.”

The group nodded at his words before they left in their carriage. This time, however, Nik also sat within the carriage while Sokka took the reigns and brought Nina out with him.
