Concentrating on her task, she had a swirling mass of water above her head which she was guiding to and fro. Deciding that she was done for now she let the water slowly trickle down, much like rain, in an exercise of control.

In that moment, he decided that she had never looked more beautiful. His beautiful waterbender.
