A little bit of history where the characters are concerned along with some fun.
"Zuko, where did you come from?" Aang asked winning the round.
"That's a conversation you should probably have with someone else," Zuko joked in his oh-so-serious way. With November came the second rainiest month of the year. The store had closed, but with the rain no one wanted to walk home and there just wasn't enough room in Zuko's car for five people and two dogs. Sokka had bought a car for himself finally, a 1972 Chevrolet Nova, but it was still getting some work done. So Zuko stayed with his stranded co workers until the rain let up.
"I mean your heritage," Aang elaborated, shuffling the deck and letting each of the group pick a new card. "Sokka and Katara are métis, Toph is half Chinese, half English, what are you?"
"You first," Zuko said stubbornly, fiddling with the card he chose, but not looking at it.
"That's not how the game works, Zuko," Toph sighed.
"I'm not really sure," Aang shrugged. "I never knew my parents. My mom was Tibetan, but I don't know what my dad was."
"I'm a mutt," the eldest finally said. "My great grandfather on my father's side was native Hawaiian, descended from the royal family. My father's mother was Japanese. My mom, Ursa, was half Chinese and half German. So I'm a quarter Hawaiian, Japanese, German and Chinese."
"That's quite the mix," Katara laughed, taking her time to choose a card from the ones Aang held before her. "Your poor kids are going to have such a hard time explaining their heritage."
"Nothing wrong with some mixing," Aang laughed. "I'm all for it and AI is too kinda, you know 'all is one and one is all' type thing."
"Well, since we're on the subject of it; what does Avatar International do exactly?" Toph asked running her fingers over the face of the card. Katara had bought a few decks of braille playing cards a while back just for times like this. "I know it's your company's main charity and stuff."
"It's a charity that's partnered with people from around the world who share the mutual goal of making the world a better place," Katara explained having been the one to lose the round and knowing the answer to the question as well as Aang himself did. "They raise awareness about what's going on in all parts of the world and really strive to be completely multicultural. It's all about love and tolerance really."
"It's pretty awesome," Sokka commented, trying to discreetly switch his card with Toph's as new ones were passed out. No one said anything and they ignored his yelp of pain when the owner of said card hit him for trying to cheat.
"You guys ever do stuff with FireTech?" Sokka asked, mentioning the company Zuko's father ran. Aang shook his head.
"They're mostly into making more efficient and smarter weapons. Stuff like that. It goes against everything AI and Bhikshu Enterprises stands for."
"Not all of it, they also do a lot of R and D into medical stuff and clean energy," Zuko defended.
"Yeah, that's true," Aang conceded. "But weapons are the main focus and as long as it is Bhikshu Enterprises will never partner with them."
"Yeah, finally I win a round! No more serious questions," Sokka cheered. "Do you," he demanded, dramatically pointing at Zuko who had once again lost. "Own any sexy underwear and how often do you wear them?"
"Umm, no? Wouldn't that question be more suited for one of the girls?"
"Pfft, like Toph owns any sexy underwear," Sokka laughed, wincing as his friend's heel connected with his shin. "And oogie! Why would I want to know that about Katara?" Toph cast him an evil grin, having once again won the round while Katara lost.
"Katara, what's your favourite position?" Sokka glanced back and forth between them looking sincerely disgusted while the other girl turned a deep shade of crimson. With a quick glance at Zuko that Sokka most definitely didn't miss Katara stumbled out an answer.
"Umm, standing I guess?" Zuko cleared his throat awkwardly.
"Okay, um moving away to any other topic um... Aang, do you think sharks are mean because they feel unloved, or that they just have a mean way of sharing their affection with others?"
The game they're playing is one I made up. You take a new card each round from anywhere in the deck. Person with the highest card asks the person with the lowest card a question. A bit like the drinking game 'I Never'.
No, Katara and Zuko have not yet had sex. They've been dating for about six months and taking things slow. However, Aang is the only virgin in the group. And yes, Toph does own 'sexy' underwear. She likes the feel of silk.
