I'm skipping prompts again. Maybe I'll go back and do some of them later but probably not because the holidays have got me slammed.


Day Twenty-Five

Ba Sing Se


"Ba Sing Se sure is a big city."

Katara looked up from the scroll she'd been reading to look at Zuko who was sitting with his legs crossed on the cushy chair across the table from her in the Earth Palace library. "Yeah, it sure is. What about it?"

"Well," he said, leaning his cheek onto his palm. "There's just so much you can get up to in a big city like this. I mean, we could go work in Uncle's tea shop for a day or meet unexpectedly in the lower ring or parade around at night in costume or run into each other at a big fancy party or even meet clandestinely in the middle of the night for a torrid love affair while our respective spouses slumber in the next room but instead we're sitting in the palace doing nothing."

Katara returned to her scroll. "Sure are."

Zuko grabbed a brush off the short table beside his chair and spun it idly in his fingers. "Huh."

Merry Christmas!

(Believe it or not I actually wrote this one way back at the beginning of the month. It was always going to be short and cracky.)
