The morning sun filtered through the window of their temporary residence, casting a warm glow over the room. Y/N sat quietly, his gaze fixed on the statue of Kyoshi standing tall outside, its wooden features undergoing a careful restoration. The statue wouldn't be considered grand by any means back in the Fire Nation, but, for a little village like this, it was quite impressive.
Across the room, Aang, Katara, and Momo sat at a long table, the air filled with anticipation as a villager placed yet another dish on the already lavish spread. Aang's eyes sparkled with excitement, eager to indulge in the array of decadent desserts before him. Katara's expression betrayed a sense of unease, her gaze flitting anxiously between the food and her companions. Y/N tore his gaze away from Katara. They hadn't really spoken since last night, and Y/N felt a pit in his stomach at the thought. 'It could be so awkward,' he thought.
Aang's voice rang out, muffled by a mouthful of sweets, as he praised the villagers' hospitality.
Aang: All right! Dessert for breakfast! [Katara pokes the food, inspecting it] These people sure know [The rest is kind of muffled out because he is cramming his desserts in his mouth] how to treat an Avatar!
Katara's hesitation was evident as she poked at her dessert, uncertainty etched in the furrow of her brow.
Aang: Mmm... Katara, you've got to try these! [He grins and offers her a treat]
Reluctantly, Katara took a bite, her skepticism giving way to a hint of reluctant enjoyment. Meanwhile, Momo seized the opportunity to steal another pastry, much to Aang's amusement. Aang grabs another treat as Katara begins to munch down on her piece of cake. Aang looks to Sokka, who was looking angry, and spoke up.
Aang: Sokka, what's your problem? Eat!
Sokka: [Arms folded] Not hungry.
Aang: But you're always hungry!
Katara: He's just upset because Suki kicked his butt in training yesterday.
Sokka: She never said "go!"
Katara: Right. And then she kicked your butt.
Katara looks over at me and I smile slightly, somewhat amused. Sokka stands up angrily.
Sokka: Sneak attacks don't count! [Mumbling to himself] Attacking me without a warning! I'll show her a thing or two. [Comes to the table to face Katara and Aang. Momo grabs some more pastries that lie around him] I'm not scared of a girl. [Snatches some of the desert of the table] Who does she think she is anyway? [He shoves one of the deserts in his mouth and stalks off] Mmm... this is tasty.
Aang: What's he so angry about? [Excited] It's great here. They're giving us the royal treatment!
Katara: Hey, don't get too comfortable. It's risky for us to stay in one place for very long.

Y/N made his way through the village, giving small waves to various villagers. The people of Kyoshi Island had been very hospitable to him and he had grown a small endearment to them. 'The only reason they are kind to me is because I am with the Avatar,' he thought. 'If they knew I'm a fire bender, they would all be trying to kill me.' Y/N pursed his lips at the thought.
