Kaya laughed. "Well, it does me good! I like a good nap as much as anyone, but its also pretty important that I'm able to ground and center when I have to, just so I'm able to function at a moments notice."

Kaya was sitting with her legs in front on her. "Well, with the earth Nation it really depended on where you went. It's one of the most diverse of the Nations. The place I lived in the longest was Ba Sing Se though: at the time I had to live in the poorer quarters, being on my own and such. Wasn't easy either, as you ran into some pretty rough people from time to time: they learned soon enough they had a waterbender among them. But when you got to the richer parts, you could see an array of pretty gardens, flowers and bushes and trees: it looked like a paradise. With the Earth nation, you had to actually look for places like that, as it was still being ravaged by the Fire Nation, but you could find places like that if you were really looking."

She hadn't been, but she found them nonetheless.
