~Chapter 14: Making Plans~

“We have no use for the truth,
Now's the time for us to lose,
Who we are and how we've tried,
Taking every step in stride,
It's now or never to decide…”

Zuko's eyes widened as Katara's eyes narrowed slightly, “But… Don't think that you're off the hook completely, your highness…” She purred in a seductive tone, nuzzling him before standing up completely and running her fingers through the loosened hair at the end of her braid. “Where are the bathes you used? I need to clean up if I am going to wear these new clothes…” Zuko blinked stupidly for a second before answering, “I'll just take you to them… It's a bit confusing, this place is so big and all…” He mumbled getting up slowly; she arched a thin brow in his direction. “Really? Do you plan on scrubbing my back too?” The young man blushed slightly and remained silent as images flooded his mind at her comment.

Just not Zuko's okay short stuff?” Akai smirked as she heard footsteps out in the hallway, her blue eyes dancing mischievously as she watched the door handle twist. “What about my Zuko?” A soft feminine voice asked, “Oh, Ursa and Iroh, you two are just in time. Would you like to see your son again Milady?”
The older woman lowered her gaze sadly, “Many apologies Avatar, Zuko is a complicated boy… He's been through much in his life, I just wish I could have been there more for him, I will help all of you in any way I can…” Akai nodded with a soft smile, “It's decided then, we will set out at sunset, Aang, you and Appa will have to fly us in small numbers, we should be as well rested as possible.” The young Avatar nodded his face contorted in a serious frown, his child like innocence was slowly slipping away and it was being replaced by something darker...
