Carriage Ride

Twelve year old Lin and six year old Su scowled as they climbed into the two passenger carriage. "Su, you're sitting on Lin's lap," Toph ordered from her seat.

The two girls groaned and Su climbed onto her sister's lap. "Where are we going?" Lin asked.

"We, I, have a meeting with Fire Lord Zuko," Toph replied. "You two are going to join Princess Izumi and her nanny."

"We don't need a Nanny!" The two girls protested.

"Plus Izumi's the oldest of us," Lin added.

"Shut your traps before I make you two walk to the palace," Toph snapped, rubbing her forehead. "I don't need you two arguing with me or each other right now. I'd rather wait until during the talks for my headache to start."

The girls nodded and sulked the rest of the way to the palace.
