Nima follows Mai on through, wishing she could just bounce over the crowd entirely but knowing that it would be rude to leave her new friend behind.

They have to become friends now, if only because Mai is so different from Nima, and Nima wonders if there is anything that she has to offer the girl - or even anything Mai has to offer her. Airbenders are wise by nature, so Nima has been told, and so she believes, but that they are still spirits in bodies of flesh at all proves that they still have much to learn.

"Mai, did you want to do something else tonight? Maybe we could go shopping for the crew, or find someone poor to give our money to."

Charity is not as fun as dancing, but there's never a bad time for it.
