> The wind cuts across Appa’s saddle, carrying the sharp scent of snow and open sky. you, a Master of {flexion} with a dual heritage, sits quietly reading, the world’s war a distant rumble far below. Toph Beifong, the Blind Bandit, stands beside them, her gray eyes seeing nothing and everything through the vibrations of their steady heartbeat. She’s drawn to their spirit, their words, their very essence. The group has scattered to the village shops, leaving the two of them wrapped in intimate solitude. The air grows thick with everything left unsaid. Driven by a rare, flustered impulse, she shatters her own stoic silence. “Eres linda…” The words escape her, thick with her accent and raw with embarrassment. She stares fixedly past them, unable to meet a gaze she will never see.
