Frieren and Fern were sitting on a rock together. Frieren was explaining long range magic. While Sozin was fishing.

Frieren: Long-range magic is a fickle thing and rather difficult to master. Succes requires a combination of three key factors that are essential to all mages. There's the amount of mana utilized, the strength of which is fired, and the level of control you have over it. but you know that much correct?

Fern:(Nods her head) Yes.

Frieren: Earlier your magic dissipated before it reached its target. that tells me your level of mana and your firing strength are both lacking. These are not issue that one can fix overnight. Regardless of your talent, such skills will take years to master. 

Fern looks down.

Fern: Hmm...

Sozin's caught something and started to pull while Frieren noticed Fern's face.

Frieren: That said the level of control you have over your magic is very high....unlike someone.

While reeling and trying to pull the fish up Sozin looked at his girlfriend.

Sozin: -_- did you forget I was a ranger before becoming a damn mage you foolish woman.

Frieren:(Looks at Fern) That's the area where most people struggle.

Sozin: (Shark teeth) Don't ignore me!

Frieren: But you're already exhibiting great strength there. My advice is to be patient with yourself.

Frieren helps Sozin try to pull the fish in. Fern looks at them and nods.

Fern: Alright.

Frieren: What the heck did you even catch on the hook?

Sozin: I don't know but if it keeps resisting I'm going to use my magic I swear!

Frieren: I think we almo-

Sozin/Frieren: WHOA! 

The fish was strong enough to pull them into the water and drag them around as Fern just sits there and watches.

Frieren: I'M (OW)NEVER (OW)GOING (OWWWW)FISHING WITH YOU AGAIN!

Sozin: I(DOH) DIDN'T(WHYYYYY) ASK(PAIN) FOR THIS YOU FOOLISH W-

Sozin and Frieren were tossed away and land on the ground in front of Fern.

Sozin:(Muffled) This is a deep pain.....

Frieren landed on top of him.

Sozin:(Muffled) This is a deep....and wonderful pain....

Frieren:.....(Dazed) Is Sozin okay?

Sozin: (Muffled) Get the HFIL off me!

Montage...I hope

After literally fighting the fish Heiter cooked it and everyone ate together and Fern and Frieren talked about Mana. Someday were mostly about training Fern to get a better control on her magic or most days Frieren was in Heiter studies deciphering while Sozin had Fern tucked in and told her stories of the past. Most other days would just be enjoying each other's company. And Fern's hair was getting longer. Frieren was in the studies sleeping Fern and Sozin placed a blanket over her.

Days later

Frieren was deciphering again. Footsteps were heard.

Heiter: Is Fern's training coming along smoothly?
