About a week after my encounter with Zuko, we stopped at another Earth Nation village, that had been taken as a colony. There we had met up with The Duke and Pipsqueak, who had been trying to help get rid of the soldiers. Celeste had immediately decreed that she absolutely loathed small children, so The Duke better stay away from her. Her hatred of children never seemed to waver.

One day while I was sitting in my cabin, practicing calligraphy, Taurei burst in. "Th-There's a guy," she gasped, out of breath. "We found him, clutching a piece of wood, in the water. He's almost dead. Celeste said, to get you."

I quickly got up, and we raced to the medical section on the boat. Lying in one of the beds was a rather bedraggled looking boy. He had close cropped black hair and fair skin, and his clothes were in tatters. Celeste was sitting next to his bed. She looked up at our entrance. "Kasai. I need you to help me. On his stomach, there's an infected cut. It doesn't seem to be very deep, but it'll hurt him healing it. I need you to hold him down."

I did as Celeste asked, and she began healing him. The boy arched his back, and writhed in pain, trying to get away. I gritted my teeth, pushing back. He had the strength of an earth bender. Then again, so did I.

Finally, Celeste was finished, and he relaxed. I pulled away from him, stretching. "Well, he'll certainly be a good addition to the team," I remarked. "If he's that strong while he's asleep, imagine him awake!"

The boy groaned, and blinked open his eyes. "Wh-What? Where am I? Who are you?!" he said frantically.

"You're with a group of people against the Fire Nation," Celeste said. "I'm Celeste. This is my friend Kasai. Can you tell us your name?"

He looked at her warily. "Nazuki."

Celeste's POV:

Nazuki looked around the room, still nervous. Though, I suppose that's what you'd expect. I doubt it would be like, 'You're safe here.' 'Well, if you say so!' Yeah. Because that happens.

Kasai exited the room, leaving me alone with Nazuki. "How did you get into the water anyway?" I asked.

He struggled to sit up, but collapsed. "I was traveling with a group of people. Our ship was attacked. I was barely able to escape."

"Oh. Well that sucks," I said, unsure how to respond. "Um, I'll go get you some soup, or something."

Nazuki nodded shortly, and turned to face the wall. Probably going to sleep.

I came back about five minutes later, with a bowl of soup and some bread. Nazuki was lying on his side, like he was asleep. But his breathing was regular, not the deep breaths of slumber. "Nazuki," I said. "If you're gonna pretend to be asleep, that's cool. I'm leaving a bowl of soup and some bread next to your bed. Enjoy. Uh, bye for now I guess. I'll be back later to heal you again."

I began to walk out, when a curt, "Thanks," sounded.

I smiled briefly. "No problem."

Walking up to the deck, I could see Kasai and Kai Lee were practicing aerial maneuvers, Kasai on Hikari, Kai Lee using her wings. Taurei was practicing throwing knives at a target, Toph was working on her metal bending and Katara had actually left Aang's side. I joined Katara, looking up at Kasai and Kai Lee. "Aang'll be waking up any day now," I said. "You don't need to worry."

Katara sighed. "I know. But I keep thinking about how you said some things are different and can't help thinking, what if this is different? What if he never wakes up?"

"You really like him, don't you?" I asked.

Katara nodded. "Yeah. I don't know, it's just… When he's hurt, or in trouble, or just needs someone, I want to be there for him. And he makes me laugh, and feel safe. Do you know what I mean?"

I shook my head. "Nah. I've never been into relationships. They're just… ugh. Not exactly my thing."

Katara grinned at me. "Well, Tate seems to like you," she said slyly.

I stared at her. "What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Just no! No!"

She laughed. "Okay, okay, I get it. You don't like relationships. Still though, you two might-"

"NOT LISTENING!" I screamed, running in circles. "I CAN'T HEAR YOU! SORRY!"

"Fine, I'll stop," Katara smirked. "For now."

I stuck my tongue out at her. "Meh. Good."

We continued to watch the others train in a companionable silence. Kasai and Kai Lee landed, and once Hikari had been put back in our makeshift stables, they joined us. "Did you know Kai Lee can talk to Hikari? I mean, how cool is that!" Kasai said excitedly.

"Very cool," I replied. "Who's up for some-" A lump of razor edged metal whizzed past my ear. "OH MY GOD TOPH I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

I stomped over to the girl as the others dissolved into peals of laughter.
