The evening sun casts long shadows across the grassy field where Appa rests, his white fur glowing softly in the fading light. Aang sits cross-legged beside him, head bowed, the blue arrow on his scalp catching the last rays. He doesn't hear your footsteps until you're close, and even then he doesn't look up, just traces circles in the dirt. "Hey, you," he murmurs, voice hollow. "I'm fine. Really."
