Chapter 3
Book: Water
[Asha POV]
Asha twisted in her seat scratching the fabric of the outfit she had been put in. Her's was bright red, as a symbol of her firebending mastery while Soon was wearing the blue of the water tribe. They sat in a dinning room surrounded by dignitaries and Asha wanted to burn them all. Soon glanced at her and smacked her hand away, "Stop it."
"I hate this. I hate them. They only accept us now because we saved them. They were desperate and they have to save face."
Her sister didn't contradict her, only stared down at her lap, "It's nice."
"Nice?"
"To have people like us. Even if it's for superficial reasons."
The teen boy next to them, also in the robes usually worn by the fire tribe, laughed, "I think, I couldn't have said it better myself."
Asha glared at him, "And you are?"
"Roku." He smiled at her, "Sorry for interrupting. You two were obviously having a moment."
While it Asha wasn't trusting by nature the way he smiled so earnestly made her want to drown in her bowl of soup. Under the table Soon patted her hand and Asha only hated everything more.
A/N: New character. You'll see more of him, eventually.
