MfWAT Chapter
I didn't expect to actually be able to write something, but I'm glad I got something done, even though it's short and lame.
Memories from Western Air Temple

Rating: K+
Warnings: the usual
Summary: Jun was certainly not the kind of person Aang would have expected to help him see things in a new light.
Aang really had to wonder why Jun chose to stay in his company out of all the other people there were to choose from. Still, despite his distrust towards the young woman, he much rather preferred to have her where he could see her rather than have her wandering around getting into trouble.
“You know…” Jun finally drawled after a long, uneasy silence and Aang snapped to attention. “Your friend has really matured since the last time I saw him.”
Of course the woman was going to want to talk about Zuko. What else could the two of them possibly have to talk about? It was not like Aang was the person to go to with talks about their future battle plans.
“What kind of girls does he like?” Jun questioned then and Aang stiffened. He had known this was coming up! Well, Aang was not going to let the woman have Zuko, although Aang could not see any right he would have for stopping it. In the end the airbender snapped: “He’s mine!”
A silence followed then, Aang wondering if he was possibly even more surprised at his outburst than Jun looked like to be. He certainly had not meant for that to come out but right then Aang could not remember what it was that he had been about to say. Still, the words had been the truth and now it was only a matter of figuring out just what he had meant with them.
“I thought you were with the prince boy”, Jun commented then and Aang gave her a peculiar look. Now he had a feeling he had missed something.
“Um…” Aang started, a bit hesitantly. “Who are we talking about again?”
Jun’s painted lips stretched into a smirk that should have been too foreboding to look attractive. Then the woman uttered: “That Water Tribe boy, Sokka.” She purred with pleasure and Aang shifted nervously. “He’s absolutely savage.”
Now that sounded insulting to Aang. He knew that Fire Nation thought the Water Tribe to be filled with savages among other stereotypes their propaganda contained, but he was not about to allow such misinformation to go around where he could do something about it.
“Sokka is not a savage!” Aang exclaimed in outrage and Jun’s smirk faded at the unexpected reaction. “He’s one of the smartest people I know!” It was the truth. All of their plans were crafted by Sokka.
“And he’s the manliest too, no doubt”, Jun murmured and slowly started to smirk again. “No offence to your lover, but that ancient father of his is more of a man than the prince boy.”
“I think he’s man enough”, Aang spoke when he suddenly felt the need to defend Zuko even as he did not really understand what he was defending the prince against. Jun really said the strangest things. “And Iroh is Zuko’s uncle, not father.”
Jun arched one slim, black eyebrow at Aang before drawling: “Oh is he now…” without any hint of question in her tone and Aang had no idea how to respond.
Aang could actually see her point, after all.
