Trua smiled as she poured a fresh cup of tea for Katara. She looked over at the smoldering boy that was pouting next to her. Trua took a deep breath and let out a whimsical sigh.

"It is so nice to see two young loves from different nations together. " Katara choked on her tea and covered her mouth as she quickly put down the cup. Zuko cocked an eyebrow, it wasn't that unimaginable. Trua looked at her in suprise.

"Oh no, we're not...no."Trua looked ot the floor with a nod.

"Oh. I'm so sorry."

"You'll have to excuse her she loves to think that every one is just like us." Trua's husband said kissing her lightly in the cheek as he walked by. Katara looked up at him in confusion. Then she saw out of the corner of her eye Zuko slightly shake his head.

"As you may have already noticed, Dhani is from the firenation."

"Not only that, he was in the imperial army." Zuko huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. Dhani glared at Zuko, who just in return lowered his head so that his face was covered by the brim of his hat.

Katara noticed this and quickly brought tha attention back to herself.

"I understand now. You are water Tribe and Dhani is Fire Nation. How did you come together?" Trua smiled and rested her hand on her husband's shoulder.

"I remember the very day I saw him. The Fire Nation had attempted to set up a base in the Northern Water Tribe, well they couldn't get intot he main city so they took over my village." Trua frowned and shook her head.

"I hated them so. The destroyed everything. They came in and took over, the claimed our gardens our fish, everything. As they were ordered." Trua frowned as tears came to her eyes. Dhani put his arm around hsi wife and leaned his head against hers.

"I am not proud of what my people have done. The first time I set eyes on Trua, I thought that she was weak, a mere water tribe nug that didn't deserve to set eyes on a man of the Fire Nation. She wasn't even related to the cheif of their village." Trua shook her head s her husband continued on. Dhani's face grew hard as stone.

"But one brief instance changed everything. A was finishing up on my route, making sure that everything was secure when I heard a girl's muffled scream. That's when I found Trua." Trua put her hand up on her husband's chest to stop him. She looked up at Katara with moist blue eyes.

"Without even thinking, Dhani killed the men. Men that he had fought beside since he was recruited. He took me and we ran. As far across the globe as we could get until we settled down here. It took us several months before we reached this spot and by the time we got here we were head over heals in love."Trua smiled and sighed. She seemed to have life just the way she wanted it. Dhani nodded, then turned his attention back to Zuko, who was very disintersted in the entire situation.

"What about you? Why is a fire bender of your calibur traveling with someone from the water tribe?" Zuko didn't answer. Dhani scoffed.

"Maybe it is because you are a deserter?"

Again no answer.

"No. I don't know what you are doing with a water tribe girl, but I do know who you are." Zuko's eyebrow twitched but he didn't look up.Trua looked at her husband hard as if trying to get him to shut up.

"So tell me, your grace, how does it feel to be down and dirty like a commoner." Trua gasp and looked at Zuko with slack jaw. Katara looked to the floor not really knowing what she should do. Zuko said nothing only stood up, he bowed in thanks and walked out of the house. Katara looked after him and then back to the couple.

"Thank you for your kindness." Katara said with a smile. She got up and walked over to the door looking out at where Zuko was preparing his ostrich horse.

Trua turned to her husband and hit him hard on the arm.

"What did you do that for?"

"You don't understand. That boy is next in line for the Fire Lord title."

Katara shook her head and turned back to look at them.

"No. He isn't. He was exiled." Katara thanked them again and walked out to were Zuko was abotu to ride off.

"Aren't you going to wait?"

"No."

"What happened to dropping me off at a village?"

"You will be fine here." Katara crossed her hands over her chest.

"Fine. Get going then. But before you do tell me one thing. Why did you follow me here?" Zuko stopped. He turned in the saddle to turn and look at her with a daggared glare.

"What did you say?"

"You followed me and you know it."

"Bah!"

"You wanted to make sure I was okay didn't you?"

"Hah. I have already told you that I could care less if you live or die."

"Liar." Katara hissed and watched him and the animal dissappear into the wilderness. He was actually leaving her there. She did like the company of her new friends, and she knew she wouldn't miss him. But it was the fact that he actually left. She didn't think that he had the guts.

She turned back to the house and walked up to the door where Trua was standing.

"He left you?"

"He got me to safety. That's what he said he would do." Trua smiled and shook her head.

"You two would make a very cute couple."

Katara curled her nose up and shook her head.

Trua laughed and shook her head again.

"I was just trying to liven up the mood a little bit. Now come in and rest. After a good nights rest I will have Dhani take you to whereever it is you need to go."

"Thank you so much. I appreciate that alot."

"It's nothing. After all were sisters in tribe. I can't have you putting your self in danger."
