Who: Vanessa and Zuko
What: CES-ing.
Where: ...in the CES.
When: This evening.
Vanessa hadn't really expected anything out of getting to the CES again besides a break from the boredom of being trapped in the ship, something to disturb the time between ports... and maybe more importantly, getting Zuko to give her what she asked for. When the door opened, her breath caught in her throat.
The land might have been pretty once, even picturesque: low rolling hills, a few lines of trees obviously following little creeks, a wide sky with a giant moon rising over the horizon. But the grass was yellowed and patchy, most of the trees that were close enough to be seen from the door were leafless and dying, and a strange column of light lit up the sky to the south with huge dark shadows swirling upwards through it.
Stepping past Zuko and into the CES as if he weren't there, she finally remembered to breathe and - salt air, and the smell of thunder. The ocean. Home.
She hadn't known she was going to miss it so much.
