Jin Knows
a missing moment from 'Tales of Ba Sing Se'
Lee told her "don't peek", but Jin peeked… and was silently thrilled to have confirmed, the suspicion she'd had ever since she'd first seen his gold eyes. He was a firebender! A deserter from the Fire Nation army, who had chosen to live here in poverty rather than fight a war he didn't believe in. Poor guy…
When Lee said "It's complicated," she wanted to tell him that she understood… but a silhouette suddenly appeared on a rooftop. A Dai Li, drawn by the fountain's lanterns being lit on an off night. Heart pounding in fear, Jin silently let him go.
