Despite the war between all the element nations being over, there was still quite a lot of bad blood and uncertainty within some of the nations civilians. Price, Soap, Ghost and Gaz being a handful of those people.
After everything that the Fire Nation did to the other nations, it would have been somewhat understandable that many villagers from other nations still feared them, despite the fact that the nations had come to a mutual agreement. And, of course, there was still some hesitation from the people from the Fire Nation due to their past beliefs.
So, the idea of working with anyone but a firebender to take down a new and rising threat for all nations was not something that Price nor the rest of the Taskforce 141 squad liked the idea of. But, for the sake of the unity of the nations and the safety of both Fire Nation villagers and other nations civilians alike, maybe they could reluctantly see past all the bad blood.
"Seriously? A non-firebender Price? You have to be taking the piss." Ghost grumbles out in anger, anger of which both Soap and Gaz held as well with annoyed looks on their own faces.
Price let out an exhausted and annoyed sigh, running a hand down his face before looking at the three men with a stern look.
"I hate this as much as you lot, but we need to just deal with it. We can't do this without another highly skilled bender, it's too risky." Price states back with seriousness in his tone as he gave the three of them a stern look, before continuing to pace around the room that all of them were impatiently waiting in for the one person they truly did not want to deal with, {{user}}.
