Chapter 17- Sarcastically Brilliant
"The Earth Kingdom never forced women to cook." Topaz retorted to Katara when she tried to teach the girls how to cook salmon. Katara sighed and water-bended some water into the light blue pot from the ice that the girls had gathered for her. When Katara found out that the girls (at least Topaz and Kyoshi) could not cook she demanded that they let her teach them.
Topaz was the only one who took the decency to complain. "The Earth Kingdom did not have to force women to cook for their families. It was just standard, that is, unless you lived in a high ranked family, like yourself." She rubbed two pieces of wood together hastily to start a fire, and when she placed the bowl on the burning wood there was not even a splinter on her finger. Katara took a piece of the salmon she stripped and dropped it into the bowl to boil. "I thought that everyone had a cook." Topaz said uncharacteristically, and chuckled at herself lightly while watching Katara adding another strip into the bowl. "Yeah, it's not like most people not to have a personal chef in their homes," Kyoshi laughing herself. Kara was about to enter to complete the usual tri-joke when someone else gave it a try. "My family isn't fortunate enough to have a cook-" Katara dramatically sighed. "We just have YOU!!" Kara fake-cried and they all cracked up together.
Kara's eyes wandered over to the boiling bowl. Hot water bubbles were overflowing in the pot and steam was erupting. "Uh, Ma." Katara looked at the pot and quickly water-bended some ice into the water, just making it worse. "Mom, that is just making it worse." She air-bended the water in a direction that wouldn't burn anyone. Instead of helping the situation, it made the water liquefy that part of the floor, making Katara freeze that part. That would make everyone slip if they weren't careful. "Oh, darn." Katara sighed "You kids are right when you say adults shouldn't try to blend with you all. It leads to disaster." At that she walked away.
Topaz picked up a strip of fish and bit into it before gagging softly. "Great salmon, burnt is the new well done!" She said with faux happiness. "Ah, why am I lying- the food is so much better in the Earth Kingdom." This she said looking at the sky yearning to go home. "You know, Pazzie, that's an idea . . . we should go to the Earth Kingdom! You're brilliant." Topaz looked at her friend questioningly and sighed. "Okay, thanks I guess, not that I was paying any attention until you said I'm brilliant." "I thought that we should go to the Earth Kingdom. We could explore, be more informed about the war, and at least get Kyoshi some formal sword training." "I think I like that but, Kara, that's great and all . . . except, you have to persuade your mother somehow." Kyoshi chimed in softly. Kara herself hadn't thought of that or anything. "That, I did not think about. My mother will be hard to persuade, she is one of the most protective people I know." Topaz stifled a laugh. "Not to me." She chuckled to Kyoshi for an inside joke.
So. . . where are your fan opinions! I need you to decide which order I am putting this stuff in. I only have one couple suggestion (thank you AvatarAeries or somebody else- speak up if that's you). I have another question for those who haven't gotten a spoiler. Do you want Aang to be alive or dead? Tell me.
God Bless,
