P'Li had compiled a rather large list of things that annoyed her over the years. But there was nothing as annoying…nothing quite like some of the things Ming Hua does.
It was their third anniversary. P'Li honestly couldn't believe that she married that psychotic waterbender of all people. Moreover that she was just about to celebrate three years of putting up with the strange quirky things Ming did.
Yup, there were loads of strange things that Ming did. But one thing above all else always seemed to take the cookie.
And P'Li would probably be dealing with said action very shortly.
The combustionbender had been working with Zaheer and Ghazan all day to set up a little surprise anniversary present for her spouse. It'd be something simple but Ming would like it. The three set up a little party of sorts.
They decorated their hide out with balloons in cyan blue—Ming's favorite color—and tossed about some streamers of the same color. P'Li had drawn little hearts on each. Zaheer and Ghazan hung up a banner or two reading; congratulations and 'happy anniversary'.
They also set up a table with Artic Hen, Pickled Fish, and Kale Cookies. The three food items were among Ming's favorite. Centerfold on the makeshift table rested a bouquet of hand-picked Moonlilies. It wasn't much, but it was something.
It was a little after nightfall when Ming walked in—and by the looks of it—with a present or two for P'Li.
"Happy anniversary dear." P'Li wrapped her arms around Ming, and gave her a peck on the nose. "I made you a little something." She moved over to give Ming a closer look.
And then it happened; all the items in Ming's makeshift arms fell to the floor as the waterbender flailed her little water arms around in both surprise and excitement.
This time as she flailed about, she managed to whack Zaheer a good one.
Yup, that always made it to the top of P'Li's 'how annoying' list. Whenever Ming Hua was caught off guard or excited, the woman would react by flailing her liquid arms every which way. At some point P'Li began to wonder if Ming only continued doing so because she knew it annoyed her wife.
It was the most embarrassing thing, but tonight P'Li just rolled her eyes and laughed along.
