Bai Hu saw a man who seemed to be friendly. Who told her that he was the chief of the northern water tribe and who wondered who the kids were. Bai Hu respectfully bowed in presence of a cheif.
She politely and friendly voice responded, "Hello I am Bai Hu the unannounced storyteller of this tribe and these are my listeners."
Why would he care about a small storyteller? I'm not a bender or a warrior.
Then she asked not as friendly, but in a worrisome way, "Is something wrong? Usually you would be in the Northern water tribe... why are you here?"
