I kept thinking, "I'll put up the next chapter tomorrow," and then the next thing I knew, three weeks had passed. ;)

I'm glad you liked it!

That was an awesome getaway!

First Zhao lets Ty Lee escape, and then he loses Aang in Pohuai later on? The grunts are going to make up some very unpleasant nicknames for someone who can't manage to imprison teenagers for any significant length of time. I like it ;)

Zuko can't very well keep on harboring fugitives on his ship, but I kind of hope they'll be on board for a while. At least long enough for the crew to figure out that there's a Thing between their commander and Mai.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

Zhao has so many problems with teenagers, he could be a Scooby Doo villain. ;)
