Summary- Pema has doubts.
*Set after Lin loses her bending*
Watching my husband caress his old lover's face as tears streamed down it whilst her body racked with heart wrenching sobs, I wondered "Will he ever leave me, just like he left her?" I knew I was being unreasonable thinking that he would regard his duties to me and our children for her... But I couldn't help but see the way his eyes were filled with so much love and compassion, like it was the first time since he really looked at her after their break up many of years ago.
Many thoughts and horrible visions ran through my head as I continued to watch Tenzin comfort Lin by muttering words that were lost to icy cold wind surrounding the area leaving my mind to wonder once again "What did he say to make her smile? What if it's the end for him and I, and the beginning of him and Lin once again, like old times?"
I started questioning myself while watching them both slowly rise but both holding on to each other as if it was the only thing keeping them both from leaving this earth, only arrive to their own isolated place where nothing could ever hurt them again, where everything they both truly desire would come true whether it was each other they wanted or just some freedom to do things they can never do because of their titles because who wouldn't want some juicy gossip about "Tenzin the son of Avatar Aang and Master Katara the war heroes, part of the Republic City council and one of the only five Airbenders left in the world" or "Lin Beifong daughter of Toph Beifong greatest Earthbender in the world, inventor of Metalbending, Chief of police and war hero".
Many more thoughts ran through my head as they started to whisper comforting words to each other like "Why wouldn't he leave me for her? She's a master earth and metal bender whose life is full of excitement while I'm just a boring old non-bender and in my case what if the saying "Opposites attracts" really is true? Then what would happen to me? I would have to leave the air acolytes and my children so they can become masters of their element and repopulate the Airbenders,where would I go or would Tenzin just shun me for the rest of our life's because in his and the world's eye, my duty was filled as a wife to the once only Airbender in the world , to give birth to Airbenders and since that duty was filled what use am I to them?
These thoughts disappeared as soon as Tenzin turned around and gave me a warm loving smile and all I could think was "If he loves her then I will let him go after her, for I would do anything for the man I love to be happy"
Smiling at Lin once more while giving her shoulder a comforting squeeze, Tenzin made his way over to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders bringing me closer to him while placing a comforting kiss on my forehead, Making all my doubts and fears leave me all at once just to be left with the feeling of love.
