Mythology
It was early evening, the sun shone weakly through the heavy clouds causing a faint rainbow to form. The warm humid air provided a warm blanket of heat over the camp creating a snug effect. The group sat around the campfire listening to the myths and legends of each nation's culture.
"Wow Aang that was amazing." Katara said captured by the magic of his words.
"Yeah Aang, amazing." Toph said grinning to herself. She knew what was coming next; the predictability of Sokka was something you could set your watch by.
"Urm Aang you told three stories now."
"Actually I've told Four Sokka." Aang grumbled.
Yeah Aang four, I kinda fell asleep during the first but anyway, why is it that in most of them the fire bender always ends up with the water bender? Did things like that happen a lot when you were a kid?" Katara and Zuko blushed simultaneously hoping that the rest of the gang put it down to the heat radiating from the campfire.
"Urm well." Aang was very careful about what he said next. The last thing he wanted to do was give Katara ideas. He had noticed the way her and Zuko had began to argue less and smile more in each others company. How could he have been so silly? He thought to himself.
"It didn't happen THAT often Sokka it was just that when it did it was really something being opposites and all." Aang said casually, trying to play it down as much as possible.
"Surely the water bender had better taste." Sokka joked nudging his sister.
"Yeah better taste." Katara said smiling into the fire.
"My feet hurt." Toph exclaimed. "Like two things are pounding at them really hard." She chuckled at her own personal inside joke.
