Chapter 127

Life at the Southern Air Temple was better thank Li could have ever dreamed. She felt so much happier here and with that happiness came smiles, she hadn't really smiled in a long time.

Li walked up several levels carrying a large basket full of some of her favorite confections. She was delivering them to Avatar Aang and Lady Katara and their beautiful children. She stopped at the door and knocked a few times, after a couple minutes the door opened. "Good morning Lady Katara!"

"Good Moring Li! Come in join us for breakfast." Katara told her. "I insist."

"You are such a kind woman." Li told her as she carried the basket to the dining area. The three small children were already sitting at the table waiting on their breakfast.

"Thank you!" Katara smiled. "Tea?"

"Yes please." Li responded.

"Aang, Li is here can you bring another cup?" Katara called into the kitchen where he husband was preparing their breakfast tea as she spooned fresh cut fruit into the bowls in front of her children, then gave them each a goody from Li's basket.

Aang emerged from the kitchen only moments later with a tea tray in his hands as well as a jug of juice for the little ones. "Good Morning Li! You look lovely today!"

Li smiled, he cheeks turning pink, as she looked down at her hands folded neatly in her lap. "Thank you."

"You really do look lovely, Li." Katara told her. "You were pretty before but ever since you got here you smile all the time, and you have a beautiful smile."

"I am so happy here!" Le's eyes shone with joy. "It is better here than I had thought it would be."

"I'm happy you came with us!" Aang told her as he poured cups of juice for the children, who had already started chewing on fresh fruits and delicious sweet rolls.

"They let me make all my favorite cookies and cakes and breads… everyone seems to really like them." Li told them.

"I don't think there are many Acolytes from the Fire Nation…" Katara said. "Aang, do you know of any?"

"I think we have a few… But I don't know right off hand." Aang answered.

There was a quick knock on the kitchen door, then Jade came walking in followed by her sweet and loving husband. "I smell fresh cakes! Li must be here!"

"Yeah, I came to drop off a basket of goodies and Lady Katara asked me to stay for breakfast." Le explained.

"Well it is an honor to have breakfast with such a wonderful baker!" Jade said as she sat down at the breakfast table with everyone else.

After breakfast Li insisted she needed to get back to the kitchen but Katara insisted she stay and visit a bit longer. Aang had went into his office to look over scrolls while the ladies talked in the front room.

"Thank you for asking me to stay and visit but I really need to go now, I need to get working on the loafs of fresh bread to go with tonight's dinner." Li told Katara as she stood to leave. "The feast is tonight and there is a lot of work to do in the kitchen today."

"It was wonderful to have you visit Li, really it was. We'll see you tonight." Katara said to her as she walked to the door with Li. As soon as Katara's hand rested on the handle there was a knock from someone on the other side. "What timing!" Katara laughed as she pulled the door open.

"He… Hello La…" It was Jingbo delivering the most recent stack of correspondents for Aang to look over. The young stood staring at the beautiful young woman standing next to Lade Katara.

""Good morning Jingbo, letters for Aang?" Katara asked.

"Huh?" He looked like he was a million miles away at that moment. "Oh, these… Uuummm…"

"For Aang?" Katara asked with a soft giggle.

"Oh…OH! Yeah sorry, these are for Avatar Aang." Jingbo said as he handed the letters over to Katara, which was out of character for him, he usually won't hand them to anyone but Aang.

A devious grin spread across Katara's face, she knew right away what was going on. "Jingbo, have you met my friend Li yet? She came back from the Fire Nation with us."

"V… very nice… to… to meet you." The young man stammered as he stared straight into Li's eyes.
"It is nice to meet you too!" Li said to the bald young man with glasses. She then turned back to Katara, "Goodbye Lady Katara I really must get back to the kitchen."

"Oh! I was going that way… Would… Would you mind if I walked with you?" Jingbo asked Li.

"Thank you! I would love that!" Li said to him. "Goodbye Lady Katara."

"Goodbye Li, good bye Jingbo… I'll take these right into Aang." Katara told them as they began to walk away, closing the door behind them.

"How… How long have you been here?" Jingbo asked as he walked with Li.

"Only a couple days now." She blushed, Li had never gotten a second look from any guy before, it felt kind of funny, but she felt good inside too.

"Have you been assigned to an area yet?" Jingbo asked her.

"Avatar Aang and Lady Katara put me to work where I really wanted to, the kitchen." Li told him as they turned a corner then went down another level in the temple.

"They are very kind people. I Joined the Air Acolytes just after they helped Fire Lord Zuko's mother." Jingbo explained. "I went on a field trip with them… Avatar Aang was only about fifteen then."

"Really?" Li was very interested in what the young man had to say.

"Lady Katara was there too." His cheeks pinked a bit, he thought Katara was very beautiful.

"They… They rescued me from a horrible life." Li opened up to him, for some reason she felt very comfortable around this sweet young man. "I feel so happy here. Everything is so beautiful." They strolled along at a slower pace prolonging their arrival at the kitchen as they enjoyed each other's company.

"Maybe… Maybe one day I could show you around… because I know some really pretty places around here… With you being new and all." They rounded another corner and Jingbo stopped walking.

"That would be really… Really nice and… and fun!" Li told him.

"Okay, here we are." Jingbo said to her.

"We're where?" Li wasn't sure where they were.

"We're at the kitchen." Jingbo chuckled.

Oh! OH! Thank you." Li's cheeks turned crimson red, she had been hanging onto his every word so much that she didn't even realize they were at her destination already.

"Well," Jingbo rubbed the back of his neck, "maybe we could hang out or something."

"Yeah, that would be really great!" Li told him. "I… I need to get back to work now… It was really nice to meet you."

"Yeah, good bye!" Jingbo blushed as he walked away.

Everyone was hustling around the kitchen in preparation for the special feast that they were having tonight. It was the traditional Feast for the Pregnant, in hopes that the spirits would bless the children the women were carrying inside of them.

Li hummed as she worked the dough, she was so happy. She liked the cute young man in glasses; he made her feel happy, he didn't make rude comments or try to grad at her, like all the NOS men did at her father's estate.

"I wonder what's got you so happy!" One of the kitchen girls said as she brought over a stack of sheet pans for the bread loafs to be cooked on. "Saw you talking with Jingbo."

"Oh!" Li's cheeks became bright red. "Uuummm… He dropped something off at Avatar Aang and Lady Katara's home as I was leaving so… so he walked me down." Li covered her hot cheeks with her flour covered hands.

The kitchen girl giggled and handed Li a moist cloth, "You have flour on your face."

"Oops," Li giggled as she accepted the cloth and wiped the white powder off of her face. "Thank you."

"Jingbo is really sweet, he's usually quiet, kinda reserved." The girl said.

"He didn't seem that was when he was talking with me." Li said as she punched her fist into the inflated bread dough, then began folding it into itself.

"I think he likes you!" The girl said in a singsong tone, which made Li turn even redder than she had already been.

The young women chatted as they place the kneaded dough in small blobs placing moist cloth over then as they rested for their final rise. Li liked talking with this girl, only a few years younger than herself.

…

The Kitchen staff stood in a line waiting for Avatar Aang to finish his speech before they all filed out, placing the trays on all the tables. Li delivered her tray to the head table, the two pregnant women, Katara and Jade, were the guests of honor. As soon as Li placed the tray in front of them she returned to the kitchen to fetch the next tray she was assigned to deliver to them. This was repeated twice more before Li got a break.

"Li!" Katara called out, waving for her to come to their table. "Jade and I noticed you were acting differently… Happier than you have since you got here, which is quite a feat considering you became a whole new person since we got here."

"I… I don't know what you mean." Li said growing red again.

Katara and Jade laughed. "That is what we are talking about." Jade pointed out.

"I… I…" Li stammered.

"It's Jingbo, isn't it Li?" Katara asked as she put more food on her plate.

"Uuummm…. I… Yeah it is him." Li answered them. "He was so nice, he walked with me to the kitchen." Li told them

"Really? All the way to the kitchen?" Jade asked her.

"Yeah… Why do you ask?" Li was baffled at how walking her all the way to the kitchen was a big deal.

"Because he works nowhere near the kitchen." Jade said. "He's like totally the other way and up a few levels."

"If he walked you all the way to the kitchen he must really like you!" Katara said.

"Well… I… He…" Li was in awe, she never had a guy like her like that. She watched as Katara and Jade's smiles grew larger.

"Hi… Hi Li!" Jingbo had come up behind her. "I was wondering if you wanted to have tea with me tomorrow. You… you don't have to say yes." The young man asked her as he rubbed his bald scalp.

Knowing if she didn't say yes, her two closest friends would bug her about it for the rest of her life. "I would love to!" She said honestly.

"Okay… I'll meet you in the kitchen just after the midday meal." The boy with the glasses said to her blushing slightly, then he turned and scurried away from them.

"Someone has a date!" Katara said.

"We have pretty good luck with hooking people up." Aang said from his seat next to his wife.

"The put us together!" Haru said kissing the back of his wife's hand.

"They TRICKED us together!" Jade said shooting Aang a fake angry look then began laughing. "But I love him with every bit of myself."

A gong was sounded catching Li's attention. "I need to go, it's time to bring out the cakes."

"Oh yummy I LOVE cakes!" Katara said excitedly as Li hurried away.

…

After the feast was over the kitchen staff cleared all the tables as quickly as they could. Once everything was brought into the kitchen, Li and several other people left while the rest stayed and cleaned up. Li and the others that left with her had to be up before even the sun was up, baking all the breads and rolls and fruit pastries, they take a while to make and it all had to be ready when the rest of the Acolytes came in for breakfast.

As Li readied herself for bed, the sweet young man was all she could think of, he was so sweet to her. Her tummy tickled, and she let out a small giggle… He made her feel so good, he walked her down to the kitchen, she thought it was on his way but… but it wasn't. He walked so far with her because he wanted to not because he was going that way. Li laid her head down on her soft pillow, she fell asleep with a smile on her face.
