Their goodbye kisses have become longer with age. Sokka counts her silver hairs when she presses her face into his chest.
A different wife would probably give her husband a playful swat for such an action. Suki combs her fingers through his thinning chest hair and recounts where his scars came from. Tonight, her palm presses firm over his thudding heart.
"I won't be long," he promises. "Aang has stationed people everywhere in case something happens."
His cane broke on the last journey. Katara cried, threatened, and cursed during the healing. It wasn't a terrible shock when she iced their door closed. Even less shocking was him breaking their door down.
"Please don't be too long."
"I'll probably make record time."
Her hand presses firmer. Will anyone find him in time?
