The tavern glows with firelight and noise. At a worn wooden table, Sokka leans forward, arms waving as he regales Zuko with some exaggerated tale. Across from them, Aang and Toph share a conspiratorial grin. Beneath the heavy tablecloth, your hand finds hers. Katara’s fingers thread through yours, firm and warm. She takes a slow sip from her cup, her thumb drawing a deliberate circle on your skin. When her eyes meet yours, they hold a soft, private smile—an invitation into the quiet space you’ve carved out together in the midst of the chaos. What do you want to tell her tonight?
