Flower shop

The flower shop is a small place near the Misty Palms Oasis, located in the Si Wong Desert, the largest desert in the Earth Kingdom and the world. The shop is dedicated to flower arranging, but it also is a secret quarter of the Order of the White Lotus.

History
After escaping from the Rough Rhinos, Zuko and Iroh traveled to the Si Wong Desert. Back at the Misty Palms Oasis, Xin Fu and Master Yu noticed Fire Nation wanted posters as well as Iroh and Zuko arriving into a bar. Iroh saw someone at the Pai Sho table and thought he may be the friend they are looking for. Xin Fu wanted to go after them, but Master Yu pointed out they may be in over their heads given where they are and they should show patience and wait for the right moment to go after them. Iroh approached the Pai Sho table and asked to play. After beginning with the lotus tile, the friend, Fung, and Iroh began what appeared to be a ritualistic game understood by the two of them. Xin Fu lost his patience and went for Iroh and Zuko, so Fung created a diversion, causing the rest of the people in the establishment to fight with two would-be captors while Iroh and Zuko escaped. Iroh and Zuko were led into the flower shop by Fung. Zuko, still unconvinced as to how playing Pai Sho will help them, makes a derisive statement about flower arranging.



After a cryptic exchange through a speakeasy-type opening, Iroh and Fung entered into a back room, but Zuko was shut out and made to wait in the Flower Shop as it is "members only". When the reunion finished, Iroh told Zuko they will travel to Ba Sing Se, the Earth Kingdom capital, because there were many refugees there and they could pass inadvertent.

After they left the Flower Shop, leaving in two flowerpots to hide from the bounty hunters, Xin Fu and Master Yu entered the shop looking for both of them. Xin Fu knocked down the door to the back room, but only found a lotus tile in the center of the room's floor, much to his surprise.

Description
The flower shop consists of one relatively small room stacked with shelves, displaying many different types of flora. The narrow corridor between the flowerpots at the sides leads up to the only other door in the shop. Behind it is a small, round room with the white lotus tile embedded in the centre. The room serves sometimes as a quarter for the Order of the White Lotus, but is completely empty for the remainder of the time.
