The air was cooler this evening. Katara smiled into the gentle breeze. Dating an airbender had its advantages. Soft pastels painted the sky as fire gave way to water, the full moon already bright in the sky.

Absentmindedly she bent the humidity, fat droplets twirling over her fingers. It did little to calm the ocean singing in her blood. Eyes closed, her thoughts drifted to simpler times; of Appa and the smell of ozone, of forest dirt and ice.

Lost in thought, she nearly missed the telltale burst of air. Strong arms wrapped around her, dragging her from her nostalgia.
