"Lord Hot Head, will you just cool down? Please?"
Said Fire Lord slammed his sweating fists against the conference table, causing the tea cups and dainty silverware to shake as the papers he hovered over trembled.
"No! Now stay out of this! This is between me, and this...this...stubborn peasant."
Toph sighed as Sokka slammed his head against the table.
The complete list of generals, admirals, ambassadors sat at the table, with gasps and wide eyes as their blood pressure began to boil.
"Peasant!? Don't be childish or we can take this outside!"
Eyes traveled from the fuming Fire Lord Zuko to the angry Water Tribe ambassador as she challenged their nation's leader with a demanding hand on her hip.
Well, this was certainly something new.
Two weeks later the same people sitting at that conference table almost fell from their chairs when they saw the trading route map and prices that the Fire Lord designed was ripped and thrown out the window by a certain water bender.
Of course, they got used to the name calling and the force earthbending to keep them in order.
But, two days later, they almost had a heart attack when they watched Katara's hand slap their Lord's good cheek which ended with flying fire and water whips as fought on the conference table.
Sokka, and this time with Aang, slammed their heads against the singed table.
Gossip between the servants and guards has never been so good. And filled with giggles and very accurate mocking insults. Ever.
After a two years, when they finally got used to everything, seen everything that could possibly happen, and the bickering has surprisingly stopped for a long while, the most unexpected happened.
Those same people from the day one of the conference, nearly died and they swore their ancestors rolled in their graves when they saw that same Fire Lord and the same waterbender just suddenly kiss. During a conferece. On the table, again.
Nothing was ever the same again. Or ever will be, during the conference, in the palace, or between the Fire Lord and the Waterbender.
Including the table that they replaced when it collaspsed under their weight.
