It takes a few more days to reach the port to ba sing se. luckily our papers were kept on us and not with uncle.
We find one of uncles friends to drop the cat antelope off with and the man says I'll make sure she's taken care of.
Thank you. He pays me for the sale and we continue in to the que.
how long is this going to take? Zuko hisses after we've been standing for four hours and the line hasn't moved.
I take his hand.
Look the lines moving. He nods and we move forward.
Finally Zuko presents our papers.
You two are getting married? Yes. Zuko says shortly.
Humph. She says stamping our papers she says get on the ferry
it leaves in one hour!
NEXT! She screams.
I pull Zuko to the food stand and we get some food before boarding the ferry.
We eat our fire flakes and chili bread and drink our tea while we wait.
I stand up to admire the view as the ferry takes off.
Zuko comes to me. Stay here he says. We had taken to keeping our belongings with us instead of stashing them in our rooms.
I'm going to look around ok? I nod and look back out to the sea.
Hey spicy want some sugar?
I turn and recognize Jet instantly.
My face is covered with a scarf and I say nothing to him before turning back.
Hey! I'm talking to you.
And I'm not interested.
Hey! No one says no to me!
I laugh.
Too bad I just did. He grabs my shoulder and turns me to him.
You look like the kind of girl that fights for what's right.
Help me raid the kitchens.
I push him off of me.
I'm good. He grabs my wrist and I push him away.
Stop it. I hiss.
Then Zuko comes back.
Lee! I call out his fake name.
He looks at me and then his eyes narrow.
He steps between us.
Is this jerk bothering you?
I was just looking for people to help.
I'm trying to get food for all of us.
I'm just trying to fight against the fire nation like anyone else he continues in fact that's what they're acting like bunch of know it alls.
The earth benders should use the comet to destroy the fire nation he says.
That would be idiotic Zuko says and certainly wouldn't lead to peace Fya says.
What? Jet says I'm just making conversation.
You're talking about destroying an entire nation Fya says.
That's not casual.
Come on lee. Let's go somewhere else.
Gladly. Hey!
