"I really don't know, though," Katara murmured, gazing at two pairs of slippers – the two she had chosen from the dozens housed in the marvelous little shop in one of Ba Sing Se's richest districts.

"The blue," she murmured lightly to herself, "or the white."

"Ya know," Toph said easily to Aang as the two of them sat sipping tea a little ways off, "if I'd known she was gonna make such a big deal about this, I woulda bought y'all some dishes, or a tea set or something."

Aang fought the urge to nod, and replied, "This is a good gift. She deserves it, anyways."

"What she deserves is a nice dress, not us following her around for four hours while she picks the shoes that go with it," Toph argued, setting her teacup down and waving away the maid who attempted to refill it. "All these seamstresses and cobblers are gonna have a field day with everything she's going to put them through. I bet they never figured they'd be making bridal clothes for a water tribe girl."

Aang just nodded absently, his gaze straying to the poor man who was standing behind Toph's chair. Taro was one of the Bei Fong's numerous servants, and had been commandeered for this small trip to serve as a beast of burden for Katara's flighty and erratic buying whims. He was tall, and strong - two invaluable traits, because Aang was fairly certain that no ordinary man would've been able to carry all the things that had been purchased that day. Taro, somehow, managed it.

"There's a kiss," Toph said suddenly, and Aang started, sloshing tea over the rim of his cup onto his hands. He looked at her strangely, though he knew she couldn't see his expression, and she continued, "In the Earth Kingdom marriage ceremony. The couple exchanges a kiss. I was just wondering what ceremony you were going to use."

Aang looked briefly at Katara, who smiled back at him when she caught his eye, and replied quietly, "As long as I end up with a wife, I couldn't care less."

Toph nodded appreciatively, a tiny smile creeping across her face, and murmured, "Good answer."

AN: Has the spacer bar been freaking out on anyone else? I couldn't get it to work... Anyway, yeah, me being silly and girly. If you can't find the fence, don't beat yourself up. It's barely there.
