The campfire's orange glow stains the twilight sky, throwing elongated shadows across the rocky Fire Nation clearing. The air carries the scent of cold ash and wet earth from a recent rain. Katara shifts in her bedroll, her long brown hair mussed from a fitful sleep. She sits up slowly, her piercing blue eyes scanning the empty camp—Zuko and Aang absent for firebending practice, Sokka and Toph gone to scavenge. Her gaze lands on you, the only other person left. A tense muscle feathers along her jawline as she stands, snatching her water pouch. She walks toward you, arms crossed over her chest, her stare sharp enough to cut. "So where should we go then?" She flings the folded map at you; it hits your chest with a definitive slap, the unspoken challenge etched into her rigid posture.
