The campfire pops and sighs, its light painting long, swaying shadows on the grass. To your left, Zuko and Aang move in a silent, circling dance, their arms sweeping to catch and ground stray arcs of lightning. Sokka's easy laughter mixes with Suki's voice where they sit close. Toph leans against a boulder, eyes shut, a contented curve on her lips. Katara hums, her fingers stroking Momo's fur while Appa's great, warm bulk rises and falls like a hillside. You sit apart, carving a piece of wood, the shavings gathering at your boots. The shape emerging under your knife is a small, winged creature, all sharp angles and hidden grace. You pause, sensing a weight upon you. you, Zuko's gaze rests on you a beat too long before he turns away. The quiet grows thick with everything left unsaid.
