zutara week 2009 | day three | jealousy
Water wraps around Katara's hands and begins to glow. She presses her fingers to the burn and his skin feels cool. The flesh becomes numb for a moment before he feels the paths of energy begin to twine back together in their proper order.
When she looks up she meets Zuko's glare. Her eyes narrow in response.
"A girl might expect a little gratitude from the person they're healing. Or at least aloofness."
"I am grateful."
"Then why are you glaring at me?" Zuko doesn't respond immediately.
"Your waterbending gives you such amazing power, Katara. You're cool and collected and you can heal. Firebending can't do that. Fire is just unbridled life that gets out of hand and harms people. I guess I've developed a jealousy for what you get to do."
"You have no reason to be jealous."
