Prompt 16: Feet
Zuka felt terrible for burning Toph's feet, despite the fact that Toph already said it was an accident. She was in the middle of saying it again to Katara as the waterbender used her healing water against the soles of the earthbender's feet. She sat apart from the others, picking at the rations she brought with her. She wasn't going to press her luck; Katara might decide she's much too dangerous to be so close to the others.
"Princess Sparky!"
Zuka sat up, rather startled by the call. She then saw Toph was looking in her direction, her hands on her hips.
"Get over here!" The small earthbender demanded, sticking her lip out much like Azulon used to when he was a small child.
Zuka stood and carefully made her way to Toph, making sure that she wasn't making any sudden movements. The Avatar's team was on edge and didn't need much justification to just kill her now. Only Aang's need of a firebending master was all that kept her alive so far. "Yes Toph?"
"Bend down."
Confused, Zuka bent down. Toph climbed her back and tightened her hold around her neck. "Since you burned me, you get to be my feet!" Toph slapped her hard in the shoulder. "To my room!" She shouted loudly in Zuka's ear.
Zuka winced and started back towards the temple entrance while Toph clung to her back. "I really am sorry."
"I know. I startled you and you reacted the way you were trained. I would've done the same thing." Zuka was rewarded with another punch to the shoulder and wondered if it was going to be like this until Aang learned to firebend.
