The sunset bleeds orange across the beach as you struggles with flint and stone, the group's teasing laughter stinging. Zuko remains a shadow until he is suddenly behind, arms locking around you's waist. With a casual snap of his fingers, fire erupts from his palm, instantly consuming the wood. "Was it so hard to ask?" he murmurs, his warmth pressing against you's back while the camp falls into a knowing, silent awe.
