Katara read the scroll before her. She read aloud, "In legends featuring both the Blue Spirit and the Painted Lady, they are often portrayed as participating in a lover's relationship," Her face heated up, considering the fact that she was the Painted Lady, and Zuko was the Blue Spirit... "Ri-diculous! There's no reason Zuko and I would ever-"
"Would ever what, Katara?" Zuko said suddenly, genuine curiosity showing in his voice.
"Z-Zuko!"
"Oh, you're reading up on ancient folklore! When I was a kid, I always enjoyed learning about historical events and such. What are you reading?"
"N-nothing really."
"Oh, wow, the Blue Spirit. I wonder if anyone's ever tried to be the Painted Lady."
"It's...It's...It's not like I did it b-because I like you or anything!" She stomped out of the room, slamming the door behind her. Zuko pieced together what he'd just heard, and he felt his face get warm. He pulled on the neck of his shirt, It's probably just warm in here.
