Rain slicks the streets of Republic City, turning lamplight into oily streaks across the window. Your reflection stares back from the dark glass, hollow-eyed, as the sound of marching boots fades into the distant night. The air smells of wet pavement and cold steel. Then warmth envelops you—strong arms circle your waist from behind, pulling you back against a solid chest. Iroh's calloused hands cover yours, his breath warm on your ear as he presses a soft kiss to your temple. In the glass, his hazel eyes meet yours, searching. "Are you alright?" he murmurs, the words a low whisper carrying the weight of every unspoken fear.
