-NO ONES POV-
The scene changes to the campsite where Appa stands on the ground, his fur still wet from the bath. Sokka can be seen standing by the riverbank, wringing out his shirt.
Aang: Toph was right. The fur was leaving a trail right to us. But now that he's clean, no more trail.
You: She always was right.
Aang looks at you, only for you to ignore his glance. Aang's eyes sadden.
Katara: Are you sure he's okay to fly?
Aang: He'll be fine as long as we leave his saddle and all our stuff here.
He kneels down and places pieces of Appa's fur into his satchel.
Aang: I'm going to use Appa's fur to make a fake trail to lead the tank off-course.
Cuts to shot of the treetops. Appa grunts and takes flight, Sokka, you and Katara riding atop him. As he flies away, his body accidentally brushes against the treetops, snapping the topmost limbs off and causing them to fall to the ground.
Aang watches as the bison flies away and turns. Taking a running start, he flies away from the scene on his glider, releasing patches of fur from the bag along the way, creating a misleading trail.
Cuts to shot of a mountain range, fog partially obscuring their peaks. The camera pans downward to show Toph walking slowly along a pathway on her own. Cuts to side-view of her as she halts, having detected something nearby.
Cuts to ground level shot of her foot which shifts abruptly in the opposite direction. Cuts to shot of her as she turns her head swiftly. She uses earthbending to send a stream of earth toward the unknown source.
The stream of earth travels its way to a large rock ahead and a dust cloud erupts in the air from the impact. A grunt of pain is heard from behind the rock. Cuts to shot of Toph who approaches the rock still assuming a fighting stance.
Cuts to shot of Iroh, his back to the camera as he kneels over and rubs his rear in pain. Cuts to shot of his face as he grimaces from the incident.
Iroh: Ow ... That really hurt my tailbone.
———The scene changes to the Nan Shan River, the camera panning slightly downward to show patches of Appa's fur clinging to rocks. Azula's hands appear on screen as she grabs hold of two patches of fur and lifts to examine them.
Mai: [dryly.] Wads of wet fur. How delightful.
Ty Lee: [Thoughtfully.] Hmmm ... they're not wads, they're more like bundles, or bunches? [Scratching her head.] It's got an "uh" sound.
Mai: [Unamused.] Clumps?
Ty Lee: [Clasps her hands together and says brightly.] Clumps! They're clumps! [Hugs Mai.]
