040/006 - Wet shoes drag you off to school / shoes that never dry

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[And there is a wet and dripping Misaki, her uniform soaked through and her bag drenched as well. She stands shivering on the plane, rubbing her arms.]

Must have been important, I guess.

[Sees her while passing by, gives her the once over]

You look like you went toe to toe with a typhoon.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Wrings out her hair] Pretty much.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

[Disappears and reappears with a towel, and tosses it to her]

I'm guessing there was something worth the soaking.

[contract_star]

[Hm? A miniature Misaki? ...Oh, right. Also, Hei might look a bit sick.]

Ah...do you want a towel?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Goodness! What in the world happened?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

That would b--are you okay?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It started raining.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[catches it and wipes her face] Thanks. Not really. It just started raining on my way home.

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

No problem. [Gives her the once over] I take it you've got a long way home then? Or did it just come down hard from the get go?

[contract_star]

Ah...I got caught in the rain. I guess I got sick.

Hold on. [Ducks out and reappears with...a very expensive looking creme-colored towel with embroidery on it. He gives it a :\ look before handing it over to her.]

[Zuko doesn't say anything, just happening to pass by. But he can't just ... ignore her now. Without looking at Misaki, he crouches down nearby and forms a campfire out of nothingness for her to warm herself by. Hopefully she won't run away scared.]

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

I see. Well, perhaps I can help. [Disappears a moment and comes back with a firepit and a clean, simple yukata.] Here we go! You should probably get out of those wet clothes. [Draws a figure 8 in the air over the firepit and it bursts into flame.]

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Wow.] That's beautiful.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Also gives is a :\ look] Diva-san's?

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

... It should help you dry off.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Get out... Right here? In the middle of the Plane?

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

It started pouring when I was half-way there. And I'm locked out.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

[Holds her hands out over it, still shivering a little.] How did you do this?

[shinypaws.livejournal.com]

Oh! Oh, goodness, forgive me. Ah, then, why don't we move to the forest? It'll be more private there. Unless you will be able to get home alright--then you need only take the opportunity to get warm before then.

[Zuko sits down properly, keeping careful watch over the fire so that it doesn't flare up or die too quickly. But it feels to him like a heartbeat, so he doesn't have to try /too/ hard.] It's called Firebending. It doesn't scare you?

[stronguponme.livejournal.com]

That would explain it. Sounds like a part to a typical bad day.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Oh! Like Toph? Well, sort of. [Crouches down closer to the flames] No. It's not like you were trying to hurt me.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Um. I'm kind of locked out.

[chasingstars201.livejournal.com]

Well, it's the only part of the day that's been bad, so I guess I don't mind.

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

... Right. [He's going to ... not mention that Toph and friends hate his guts. Quietly --] Firebenders are usually feared for their powers.
