Inside a standard Fire Navy cruiser, Prince Zuko, the banished Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, was mediating in his room. As he continued to exhale and inhale peacefully, the candles in front of him calmly expanded before shrinking with each and every breath.
This was one of the few times one would find the banished prince without his typical scowl, instead the scarred young man had a peaceful if not relaxed appearance, something rare for the hot-headed teen.
Suddenly the quiet was gone at the screech of the metal door opening, his uncle Iroh poked his head in. Zuko continued to sit in his meditative position, his eyes never leaving the candles. "If the only reason you are interrupting me, Uncle. It better be news about the Avatar." The scarred prince said calmly, never once glancing at his Uncle.
Iroh opened the door all the way, making it screech louder but it did nothing to displease the calmed prince. "I have news Prince Zuko, but you may not like it." The aged General glanced down at the scroll in his hand containing said news. "Don't get too upset," the teen's uncle advised.
Zuko merely continued to gaze at the four candles in front of him, the small fire burning slow and calmly. "Uncle, you taught me that keeping a level head is a sign of a great leader. Now whatever you have to report, I'm sure I can handle it."
Seeing his nephew's calm exterior Iroh decided to not beat around the bush and instead spit it out. "Okay, we have no idea where he is." He answered truthfully.
The small balls of fire ignited on the candles immediately grew in size and ferocity, in a matter of seconds it had transformed into a violent inferno as Zuko's anger got the best of him.
The famed Dragon of the West didn't even blink even when the fire threatened to burn him instead the old man merely brought out a fan from within the pockets of his robes and started to fan himself. "You should really open a window in here," the man suggested while Zuko got up from his meditative pose and opted to grab the scroll out of his mentor's hands.
"Let me see the map!" Zuko snapped at his uncle before opening the scroll, revealing a map of the world including some of the minor islands. There were dotted lines that showed the Avatar was heading, but instead of staying in one direction, the boy had instead flown in a zig-zap pattern, leaving any patterns untraceable.
"There have been multiple sighting of the Avatar, but he is impossible to track down," Iroh explained while still fanning himself with the bright red fan.
With his traditional scowl in place, Zuko's gold eyes looked at the map and the Avatar's path, trying to figure out where he would appear next to no avail. "How am I going to find him, uncle?" Zuko asked his firebending teacher. "He is clearly a master of evasive maneuvers."

On Appa's saddle, Sokka was looking at the same map as Zuko was, but didn't have their path inscribed on it. Glancing at the young Avatar who was flying and guiding the giant bison Sokka had to ask, "You have no idea where you're going, do you?"
Aang took a second to consider Sokka's question before answering truthfully, "Well I know its near water."
Zhe glanced around him, they were currently in the middle of the ocean. The only signs of life besides them were the fish and sea creatures, there was no speck of land anywhere. "We must nearly be there then."
Aang didn't seem to notice Zhe's sarcasm, and instead gave the other airbender a huge smile. "You bet! Just wait until you see the giant Koi! Oh, and Zhe I have some really cool airbender moves to show you!"
Zhe looked at the map before looking at the Avatar. "Aang… do you even have a compass?"
"No, why?"
Zhe smacked himself in the head, a gesture which was quickly followed also by Sokka. "Then how do you know we're nearly there!?" Sokka exclaimed.
"Sokka, calm down." Katara told her brother while she continued to hem the boy's pants. "Aang's been to this place before, I'm sure he knows which way to go."
Aang beamed at the waterbender, Zhe was quick to notice that Aang would not stop staring at the Water Tribe girl with a light, barely noticeable, blush on his cheeks. The young Avatar looked at Momo who was perched on his shoulders. "Momo, marbles please."
The flying lemur chittered in reply before diving into the Avatar's shirt, before remerging with said marbles in his paws and plopped them into Aang's outstretched hands.
"Hey, Katara. Check this out!" Aang held out his hands and immediately the marbles started to spin rapidly in a circular motion, making the dark marbles blur, all the while with a cheesy smile as he tried to impress the Water Tribe girl.
Katara hadn't even looked up from her sewing, "that's great Aang." She said disinterested, still not looking up.
Aang's grin soon fell apart when Katara didn't notice nor was impressed by his airbending move. He stopped channeling wind in his palm, making the marbles fall into his hand. "You didn't even look."
Katara glanced up for a single second, "that's great."
"But I'm not doing it anymore." Aang said disheartened.
Zhe by then had decided to grab on of the few moon peaches left and opted to channel the wind into his palm, making it hover a couple inches from his outstretched palm. "Aka, snack time."
"That's cool, Zhe." Katara said as she watched the little ferret scurry up Zhe's leg and into his lap, before quickly grabbing the hovering fruit, all the while hissing at Momo who was trying to get the peach.
Aang looked even more depressed when Katara had noticed Zhe's unintentional trick and not his attempt to impress her. Sokka noticed this but didn't have the same mindset as the young monk.
"Don't worry, Aang." Sokka said as he leaned casually against the saddle. "Girls need their space when they are sewing."
Katara, who had gone back to sewing Sokka pants, immediately stopped and whipped her head towards her older brother. "What does me being a girl have to do with sewing?" She asked, looking ready to stab her brother with her needle.
"Simple, girls are better are at fixing pants than guys. And guys are better at hunting and fighting and stuff like that." Sokka explained as though it was obvious. "It's the natural order of things."
"Uh, Sokka maybe you shouldn't say stuff like that-" Zhe started to say before the fifteen year old was interrupted by Katara.
The waterbender had a mocking smile as she held up Sokka's half fixed pants. "All done with your pants!" She said mockingly, "and look at what a great job I did!" She held the pants even closer to Sokka, making sure to point out the large hole in his pants before throwing them across the saddle and right into Sokka's face.
"Wait!" Sokka tried to say as he attempted to get the pants out of his face, he looked rather dumb wearing noting but his underwear and upper coat with his pants stuck on his head. "I'm sorry!" The Water Tribe boy tried to say, as he finally managed to untangle himself from the pants. "I was just kidding, Katara please!" Sokka stuck his hand through the hole, as though justifying that he needed his pants sewn.
"Relax, Sokka. Where we're going we won't need any pants!" Aang exclaimed from Appa's head.
Immediately Zhe stopped petting Aka and attempting to pry the lemur off of the fire ferret's back, seeing as Momo still wanted to eat the remaining peach. "Wait, what?"
Aang merely flicked the reigns, making Appa fly faster.
"We all heard him right?" Zhe asked Sokka who had finally put on his pants. "Where are we going? And why won't we need pants?"
Sokka shrugged, "It's Aang, Zhe. Nobody understands what's going through that bald round head of his."
For the next hour or so there was nothing new, besides the soft growls of Appa or the chitters of Momo and Aka, even the loud snores of Sokka did little to change the scene.
Zhe, his head resting against the pommel of the saddle, suddenly lifted his head when he noticed something fuzzy in the horizon. Squinting his eyes he could make out the faint outline of mountains and tall pine trees. "Land!" He called out to Aang, who had been fast asleep on Appa's head even though he should have been awake to guide Appa and not crash them into the ocean.
Katara crawled over to the side Zhe was on, she caught sight of land and breathed a sigh of relief. "We made it, wherever we are anyway."
"On the bright side we don't have to wear pants," Zhe said dryly while Katara couldn't help but grin at the boy's sarcasm, he was much less annoying than Sokka.
As they got closer, Zhe and the others noticed that the island was fairly small and was shaped like a rugged crescent moon.
Aang guided Appa to land on the shore, immediately the bald monk jumped off of the bison and ran towards the shore, gazing at the ocean with childish glee.
"Aren't we supposed to be heading to the North Pole?" Sokka asked the Avatar. "With all the pit stops you've been stopping at we won't be there until I'm one hundred and twelve."
Aang, who had been peering at the ocean as though look for something, ignored the sarcastic warrior and instead gasped and pointed out something on the horizon. "Look!"
Suddenly a large Koi fish easily the size of a small hill leaped out of the ocean and seemed to hang in the air, the sunlight glinting off its golden scales, before crashing back into the seawater with a large splash.
"That's… a really big fish," Zhe said with wide eyes while the Water Tribe siblings merely gaped.
"That's why we're here." Aang explained as he started to undress, "to ride the elephant koi!"
"Wait, so we flew here to rid fish?" Zhe asked, his smoky grey eyes locking in with Aang's, the only difference was that Zhe's eyes were more of disbelief while Aang's seemed to twinkle with mischief that only a child and a happy go lucky boy could have.
Aang nodded his head and grinned.
Zhe pondered for a moment before shrugging and started to take off his coat and pants, "may as well while we're here." He said where Aang gave the boy a high five.
Katara and Sokka smacked their heads in frustration, "and there goes any hope of Zhe not being as crazy as Aang," Sokka said to his sister who nodded her head in agreement.
"What?" Zhe asked the two as Aang started to run towards the water, "I haven't gone swimming in a long time, the Air Nomads never thought of adding a pool to the temple."
Katara blushed slightly when she saw that while Zhe was more of a lean and wiry build, he still seemed to have quite a bit of muscle, he even had the start of a six pack going. Sokka seeing this, instantly scowled and he had to stop his hand that had twitched towards the direction of his trusty boomerang.
"Cold!" The three teens still on a beach had time to see Aang jump up from the freezing cold ocean, but he continued to swim out into deeper waters.
"So let me get this straight," Sokka said to Zhe, "while you and Aang go swimming and playing with some stupid fish, what are me and Katara supposed to do?"
"Uh," Zhe glanced around the beach for an answer, an answer that came in the way of a certain furry ferret. Zhe scooped up Aka and thrust the Fire Ferret into the warriors arms. "Here, take care of Aka."
And with that said and done, Zhe suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the ocean, using his airbending speed to catch up to Aang who had already gone on.
Sokka held Aka up to his face, Aka's little face was scrunched up as he studied Sokka while Sokka stared at the ferret with boredom. Suddenly the ferret hissed and managed to get out of the boy's gripe, and jump on his head, before landing in Katara's arms, snuggling into her arm.
Sokka, who had been surprised by the ferret on his head, had fallen on his back and onto the beach, the boy laid eagle-spread as he looked up at the sky. Finally the boy groaned. "You just had to open the ice berg, didn't you?"
Zhe and Aang felt the current underneath them ripple slightly, signifying that something large was underneath them. Both took large gulps of water before diving, their heads disappearing in the murky deep.
Sokka and Katara watched on and waited for them to come back up, the water where they had been started to bubble, and then two massive koi fish emerged from the ocean deep.
When someone meant big to describe these fish, they meant easily fifty times bigger than Appa who was a full grown Sky Bison. Both airbenders were holding on to the large dorsal fin. Katara smiled when she heard Aang cheering the Koi on, and it was obvious that Zhe was laughing as well. The was something about their newest friend that made it seem that he didn't laugh a lot, so for the young waterbender to see the older boy having fun made her feel very happy. Sokka on the other hand just continued to sit on the beach with the same bored and gloomy expression.
Even from across the small bay Katara could still see Aang beaming at them, the thought of him trying to impress her never seemed to catch her mind, Katara started to cheer for both airbenders as the Koi started to leap and swim with surprising speed and agility.
Sokka gave her an exasperated look complete with a roll of his eyes. "Why are you cheering them on? The fish are doing all the work!"
For the first time in a really really long time, Zhe actually felt himself relax as he sped through the water while gripping the giant elephant Koi. He couldn't stop himself from following Aang and laughing at the sheer thrill and fun of riding the giant fish. Zhe couldn't remember the last time he had laughed so freely, maybe years. It certainly felt like that.
Suddenly the trio of Koi dived into the water, both airbenders gripping the dorsal fin tighter unless they wanted to be thrown off. Zhe had never realized how clear the ocean was, even though he had to squint to keep most of the salt water out of his eyes, he could still see Aang ahead of him with his own elephant Koi. Around him were schools of normal sized fish, darting around the reef and some even swimming along.
Out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw something. Something big, dark, and alien; something that shouldn't be there. But when he turned back he saw nothing, and by the time he had realized most of the small fish were gone, the golden Koi he was riding had finally returned to the surface.
Zhe's fish was closer to Aang's Koi than the other one that was slightly trailing behind, even from Zhe's distance as well as the wind and water splashing his face it was near impossible to see the young Avatar's crestfallen face.
A quick glance to the beach was all he needed as he saw Katara jog off and into the trees, it was very obvious to the older airbender that Aang had a huge crush on Katara, something that neither Katara nor Sokka seemed to realize.
But then Zhe noticed Sokka come closer to the beach, he was too far away to make out the pony-tailed teen's face but his entire posture seemed rigid, like something was wrong.
Zhe thought nothing of it, from what he had gathered about the older boy he seemed to be a bit hot-headed and didn't really know what to do. It was only when Katara joined her brother and her posture turned as rigid as his was when Zhe realized something was wrong.
Then the two were waving their arms, trying to catch both airbenders attentions, Zhe could make out a little red blur racing on the beach, even Aka seemed upset. "-et ou-!" Their faint cries reached the two, but neither of them could understand what the two were saying.
Aang didn't seem to notice his friends distress, he merely beamed and waved at them, not noticing that the other riderless Koi had disappeared leaving only their Koi left.
Zhe felt the fish shudder underneath him, knowing exactly what was about to happen Zhe immediately leapt off his fish, landing a great distance away from the giant fish and Aang, but he was still halfway across the entire bay.
Zhe heard Aang's shocked cry and he could see the twelve-year-old flailing his arms as though trying to flap wings before smashing into the water. The boy barely had enough time to catch his breath when a huge shadow appeared behind him.
Zhe felt his heart beat in fear when he saw the dorsal fin, the membranes pitch black while the soft reptilian flesh a light purple. What really scared him was the size, just the fin alone was bigger than the elephant koi…. And if that was just the top…
Aang cried out as he started to run on top of the water, an idea that Zhe was quick to use. Aang had the advantage of being the better airbender, but Zhe was closer to the beach.
The two shot off like rocks thrown from a catapult, nothing but blurs, with the splashes of water the only sign of them being there. But whatever that thing was, it was just as fast, if not only slower behind a foot or so. Before any of them were eaten by whatever was chasing them, the two reached to shore, Zhe ran into the soft fur of Appa while Aang slammed into Sokka.
"What was that thing!?" Katara exclaimed as the four watched the large fin disappear into the murky deep.
Zhe and Aang were putting on their clothes, "I don't know." Zhe said as he stared at the spot where the monster had disappeared with wariness in his smoky grey eyes. "But whatever that thing is, I really don't want to find out."
The other three, even Aang, agreed with the dark-haired boy. Whatever that thing was, they'd rather not find out.
Sokka rubbed his hands together before gesturing Appa with a jerk of his thumb. "Well whatever that thing is, it can remain unknown to us. Aang you've had you fun, now it's time to take to the sky and get off this stupid island."
It seemed that fate has something else in order for the four young travelers, or maybe the spirits just loved to scorn Sokka.
All Zhe saw was a flash of dark green and gold, before someone grabbed him from behind. The young teen fought against the grip and managed to get out of the iron grip, but before he could even move his hand to blast the attacker with airbending or at least a good solid punch, he felt something hard hit his temple.
Stars flashed through his field of vision and he could barely resist when he was bound and flung to the ground, quickly following the others. They had even bound Aka and Momo!
Zhe faintly heard Sokka say, "or we could stay awhile." Before darkness overtook him.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][]
"Zhe, wake up!"
Zhe groaned and leaned back, his head bumped into something, which did not help his headache at all. He was quick to notice, even in his pained state, that he had been bound to a large wooden pole with the others, other than that he did not know. Whoever had kidnapped him had blindfolded the airbender.
"You four have some explaining to do..." A voice that was obviously a man, perhaps a more older man judging by his voice, said to the bound travelers menacingly.
"And if you don't answer our questions, we'll throw you into the bay to feed the Unagi." Whoever spoke know was obviously a woman, but something told Zhe that you didn't want to piss her off.
"Show yourselves cowards!"
And there goes Sokka, Zhe thought with a small sigh. Always one to jump the catapult.
The blindfold was ripped off, allowing Zhe and the others to see. Once his eyes adjusted to the light, he realized he was surrounded by women wearing forest green robes and their faces were covered in pure white make up with red eye shadow.
"Who are you? Where are the men who captured us?" Sokka demanded.
The woman who had spoken earlier, the leader, Zhe realized, spoke again. "There were no men, we captured you!" The leader, who looked a little older than Sokka and Zhe gestured towards the women in the green robes.
Sokka snorted in disbelief. "Yeah right, like a bunch of girls took us down."
That wasn't the right thing to say, especially since they were being held prisoner by said women who did look happy at Sokkas little comment.
The leader strode up to the young Southern Water Tribe warrior and grabbed the boy by the shirt. "A bunch of girls, huh? The Unagi will eat well tonight." She threatened, looking well prepared to throw the teen to the Unagi, whatever that was. Zhe was hoping they wouldn't have to stick around to find out.
"Wait don't hurt him! My brother's just an idiot some times." Katara said in hopes that they wouldn't harm her boneheaded big brother.
"It's my fault," Aang said somberly, a rare frown adorning his boyish features. "I just wanted to ride the elephant koi."
"How do we know that you're not Fire Nation spies?" The old man asked with a suspicious look as he looked at Zhe, who had dark hair like many in the Fire Nation. "Kyoshi has stayed neutral in the war so far, and we intend to keep it that way."
"Then why did you take us prisoners?" Zhe demanded. "If you want to stay neutral to both sides, why would you attack and bind us when you don't even know who we are or where we stand in the war?"
For a second the people hesitated as they saw the point in his objection and observation.
Zhe decided that since they were still alive he may as well continue. "For all you know, we could be important people and the side we are on wouldn't be happy if you kidnapped us, they would see it as an act of war and would think that you joined the other side."
After all, Zhe thought. We are important to the war. Aang is the Avatar and that should warrant enough attention to make him important, people have been waiting one hundred years for his return while the Fire Nation continue to wage war upon the world. The others and I are less important, though I am the second to last airbender alive, not that these people need to know that…
"W-Well," the old man scratched the back of his head nervously, seeing the danger of this situation.
A light bulb seemed to go off in Aang's head as he remembered the name 'Kyoshi'.
"Wait this island is named after Kyoshi? I know Kyoshi!" The reincarnation exclaimed.
The old man bellowed in laughter. "Hah, how could you possibly know her? Avatar Kyoshi was born here four hundred years ago. She's been dead for centuries!" The man declared.
Aang was silent before smiling slightly. "I know her because I'm the Avatar." A knowing look coming to his grey eyes.
The woman scowled while the elder seemed to step backwards. His mouth wide open, his mustache twitching in surprise.
"That's impossible!" The leader exclaimed as she looked at the airbender with an angry glare. "The last Avatar was an airbender that disappeared a hundred years ago!"
Aang beamed at her. "That's me!" As though to further add even more surprises he quickly added. "Zhe's an airbender too!"
"Throw those two impostors to the Unagi!" The grey-haired man declared. At his command the warriors unfolded gold fans and advanced towards the bound teens menacingly.
"Aang, Zhe, do some airbending..." Katana muttered out of the corner of her clamped mouth.
The two airbenders looked at one another, an agreement seemed to pass through the two and the airbenders used their element to propel themselves high into the air before slowly descending.
Gasps of awe and shock soon followed as the villagers saw the art of airbending for the first time. Aside from Katara and Sokka they were the first to see the element in use. It impressed them and they were quick to realize that the little bald monk was the Avatar.
"It's true," the man said in shock. "You are airbenders. You are the Avatar."
A somewhat cocky smirk was plastered on Aang's rounded face. "Now check this out!" The young Avatar declared as he grabbed the marbles out of his pocket and did the same trick he has used to try and impress Katara. He beamed at them while the people of Kyoshi cheered.
Zhe quickly made out an individual within the group of villagers, a man was cheering so hard he was swaying, a high pitched cheer coming from him, foam starting to foam from his mouth, before starting to overflow and drip to the ground. The man then promptly passed out.
[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][] [][][][][][][][][][][]
Zhe was leaning on the window on the top floor of the largest house on the whole village. He could see a painter refurbishing the statue of Avatar Kyoshi.
Ironically that same statue was the place they had been tied to, go figure. An Avatar pops up and they tie him to a statue of his past life.
"Zhe check this out! Dessert for breakfast!"
Zhe turned around to see Katara and Aang seated at the low table, a man was bowing low as he left the room. Sure enough the entire table was filled to the brim with sweets.
Aang had already helped himself to a sweet bun filled with custard. "These people sure know how to treat an Avatar!" He said through a mouthful of sweet bun.
Zhe sat down next to Katara, who was sniffing one of the sweets. Having grown up in the South Pole where no crops grew made it hard for the girl to know which sweet was what, or if she had ever had sweets before.
"Mmm, Zhe, Katara you have to try these!" Aang said as he passed them a sweet bun each.
Zhe bit into one and immediately discovered why Aang loved them. It was really good and had obviously been well prepared for the Avatar and his friends. The only sweet things Zhe had had in the past couple years during his life in the Southern Air Temple had been Moon Peaches and Sun Cherries. But seeing as Aka usually ate them the teenage airbender hadn't eaten many sweet things for a long time.
Speaking of Aka... Zhe could see his little paw creeping towards one of the sweets at the end of the table. A longer white arm was next to him trying to grab one of the sweets as well.
He smiled as he grabbed a bun filled with peach custard, using a simple airbending trick he channeled the air under the table to act like a vacuum. Zhe heard a surprised squeak as Aka flew into his open palm, the fire ferret forgave him however when the boy gave him the bun.
Zhe felt soft white fur brush up against him, looking down he saw Momo's wide bright green eyes staring up at him. He sighed and grabbed another bun, smacking away Aang's hand and gave it to the lemur.
Momo chirped something, probably a thank you, before using his fingers to climb up his shirt sleeve and nestled into the burrow of his neck, his long tail curled around his pale neck.
"Looks like Momo likes you," Katara said with a small grin.
Zhe grinned in return, scratching the lemurs bat-like ears. "The trick is food." He explained as Momo purred contently, already take large bites out of the bun.
Speaking of food... Zhe turned around to see that Sokka had yet to stop sulking in the corner. "Since when have you missed out on food, Sokka?"
"Not hungry," the boy grumbled.
Zhe rolled his eyes. "Yeah, and I'm a firebender, Aang can't bend at all, and Katara is an airbender."
"He's just upset that a bunch of girls kicked his butt," Katara explained, but judging by her smile her older brother had none of her sympathy.
"They snuck up on me!" He defended himself as he jumped to his feet in anger.
"Right," Katara took a bit out of a pastry. "And then they kicked your butt." It was obvious to Zhe that she was getting back at Sokka for his comments about girls and guys back before they had arrived on Kyoshi island.
"Sneak attacks don't count!" The warrior stormed out of the room, a couple seconds later he was back as he went to the table and grabbed multiple pastries, all the while muttering something about 'stupid girls' and 'I'll show them' before leaving the room.
Zhe popped a cherry into his mouth. "Katara I have a feeling that your brother is about to do something stupid."
Katara sighed, "You'll get used to it, Zhe."
Zhe turned his grey eyes towards Aang, who was eating the sweets at a speed only an airbender could hope to achieve. The less experienced airbender was sure that Aang was using his mouth as a vacuum to eat all those buns.
"Aang, do you think you could teach me some airbending moves?"
Well that didn't sound desperate... Zhe thought with mental groan. To give the boy some slack, Zhe had learned everything he knew from either the faded pictures on the ancient walls of the Southern Air Temple or from his imagination and creativity. Obviously he was not as good at airbending as Aang was, not only was he the Avatar, but he had actually been taught by the monks, something Zhe would never be able to have.
Aang brightened at the prospect. "Sure Zhe! I have some really cool techniques that I can show you, some I made myself! Maybe some day I can show you how to make an air scooter!"
Katara smiled, obviously happy that Zhe would be able to learn more of his element from a master. Even if said master was a twelve year old boy with the hyperness of a kangaroo leopard.
"And this is the perfect place to do it, what with these villagers giving us the royal treatment." Aang continued on as he munched on some sort of cinnamon roll.
"Don't let all this get to your head, Aang." Katara warned the young Avatar.
Aang merely smiled at her as he got up and gazed out the window. "Don't worry, I'm just a simple monk."
The second his head was out the window, the trio of benders heard squealing. Aang glanced down to see a swarm of young girls even younger than him, huddled outside their momentary quarters.
Aang grinned while a light blush flushed his round face. Katara looked annoyed and blew a raspberry at the girls. Zhe groaned as his head banged the table. "Please tell me those aren't fan girls." The teen pleaded, his voice slightly muffled due to his face mashed into the hard wood.
"Fan girls." Katara said simply, annoyance still in her eyes.
Zhe groaned.
