Mr Brightside
'What did you talk about?' was one of the first things I said to her once I could speak again.
'What?' Immediately she was hovering over me, checking my pulse, breathing and burns.
'You and Zuko. In the cave, what did you talk about?'
'Nothing important.' She looked away.
'You said you thought he'd changed,' talking hurt. But I had to know. 'What did he say?'
'It doesn't matter now. He was probably lying about all of it. Rest now. I'll have some soup for you when you wake up.' She was smiling down at me. Her hand, coated in water, soothed my brow. My eyes drifted closed.
The image of Katara and Zuko standing impossibly close together burned behind my eyelids. And then the nightmares came.
