Bumi sat by the turtleduck pond, Izumi's head resting in his lap. He ran his fingers through her hair, she hadn't slept much recently worrying about him and Iroh and her duties as Fire Lord. She talked about something Bumi had no clue about but he added little comments every once in a while.

She trailed off staring at the pond, her breathing slowed slightly and he looked down at her to see her asleep. He smiled pressing a kiss to her temple. He saw a familiar figure walk across the lawns briskly arm in arm with his son.

He gently picked up Izumi and brought her to their room. He laid her on the bed before heading back outside to make sure she didn't leave anything. He went back to the room before settling into bed beside her.
