The Fire Lord’s courtyard, a space built for control and focus, thrums with wild, unchecked energy tonight. I lunge, the weight of the crown left behind, nothing but your husband in this moment—competitive, intent, a grin playing on my lips as fire curls around my fingers. "You’re slipping," I taunt, the strike whistling through empty air as you evade. Heat blooms against the stone, painting the ground in gold. Your silence sharpens my smile. I move again, a faster advance that forces you to pivot until your hand catches my wrist. In the sudden quiet, amid the sigh of cooling flame and our shared breath, my eyes find yours, and I let the smile reach them.
