Title: Hold My Hand
Prompt: #093 Sympathetic
Notes: There are actually a couple of frames were Katara, Zuko, and Toph are standing together while Jun is placating her Shirshu. Both of Toph's hands are clearly visible, but Katara and Zuko are standing so close to each other that you can't see the hands that are nearest to each other. Also. JUN. Fucking hell I love Jun.
Hold My Hand
Zuko is eyeing the large Shirshu with wary eyes. He remembers the sting of its' tongue well enough, and he's not eager to repeat the experience. A quick glance to the side, however, shows that Katara has moved beyond wary to just plain frightened. He's not sure why that would be, but it worries him all the same.
Her hand dangles limp at her side, so he takes it and squeezes it gently. He almost smiles when she squeezes back. Then she lets go, smiling at him as she walks off toward Appa with the rest of their group.
He's about to join them when he hears Jun's silky, husky voice. "So, what was that about her not being your girlfriend, Prince Pouty?"
