Drabble Six: Lost in Observation
"You're lost," Katara groaned, as she saw Zuko turn the map over and over again in his hands.
"We," he emphasised, "Are not lost. I can read a map perfectly. It was Sokka who pointed us in the wrong direction."
Before Sokka could defend himself, Katara replied, "You should know by now- don't trust Sokka. His little 'inklings' are always asking for trouble."
Zuko finally turned the map the right way around, and frowned to himself, "Well, little miss Sugar Queen, maybe if you hadn't have let him steer the bison, we wouldn't be in this mess."
Obviously, Toph and Zuko had been bonding lately.
"Oh," Katara scoffed, "So now it's my fault. Well, maybe if you had just asked directions…"
"From who? Who, Katara, in the Fire Nation is going to give us directions? We're practically fugitives. What was I supposed to say? 'Excuse me, I'm the exiled prince. I'm travelling with the Avatar- you know, the bald monk with a huge bounty over his head? If you could just point us in the right direction, we'd be really grateful.'"
Toph, Sokka, Aang, Teo and Haru just sat quietly in the corner of Appa's saddle as the two argued. The argument was broken by one quick statement by the blind earthbender-
"Jeeze, you guys argue like an old married couple."
Silence followed, and Katara and Zuko exchanged a glance.
Maybe the group had finally caught on…
