"No, Nation," Setsuko insisted. "I travel too, Rue, and I've been to all four of them. Well, three, since my family's all that's left of the Air Nomads, but whatever. And there's benders in them all!"

"They are called countries. Or continent. Whatever. But there are way more than just four!" Rue agrued.

Setsuko shook her head vigorously. "No, they're Nations" she said again. "Not "country" or "con-tee-nent". Nation! And there are four, or technically three, now. One for each element!"

"Okay, I don't know where you come from, but it certainly isn't Earth!" Rue responded hotly, irritated by Setsuko.

"I told you, I live in the Southern Water Tribe. My cousin lives in the Earth Kingdom, though." Setsuko prompted. Rue mentioned Earth, perhaps she did live in the Earth Kingdom.

Setsuko was still rather convinced, though, that it was under a rock in the Earth Kingdom.

"I still haven't heard of either one," Rue repeated, crossing her arms. "And I find it hard to believe you haven't heard of the United States. Is this some kind of prank?" she asked.

Setsuko blew a tuft of her whispy, tawny-brown hair out of her face. "The only pranks I ever pull are on my uncle, and occasionally my siblings. I swear it." She paused a moment, then added: "You, on the other hand, I can't be too sure about."

"Why would I pull a prank on someone I've never met until now?" Rue replied immediatly.

Setsuko shrugged. "And by that logic, why would I?"

"I don't know! I do know some people that would do that, though," Rue added in her defense, thinking about one of her "siblings".

Setsuko crossed her arms, rather annoyed at this point. "Well, I wouldn't," she huffed.

"I got that the first time you said it," Rue replied.

"Good," Setsuko snapped. "Then maybe you should stop going on about it!" Uh-oh, there goes her self-control. Setsuko tried her best to hold on to it a little longer, though she subconsciously gripped her gilder a little more tightly as if she where about to fly off right then and there.

"All I did was defend myself! You were the one who spoke to me like I was some sort of idiot!" Rue's eyes narrowed in frustration, her hands clenching into tight fists.

Aaaaaaaaaand no chance of grasping that self-control.

Setsuko stood, balancing on the branch, face contorted in annoyance and frustration, one hand clenched in a fist, the other gaining a death grip on her glider.

"Excuse me?!" she shouted. Her voice quickly got very cold. "You just 'defended' yourself? Whatever! You've gone just too far with this, bird-girl! Get those wings of yours over to one of your petty little white-coated Healers and get your head checked!"

And before Rue had a chance to say anything, Setsuko flew off in a huff, leaving with a blast of air directed towards Rue's face.

Jaci, seeing his master in such a rage, let out a nasty snarling roar up to the branches before turning and following Setsuko's glider.
