eight flame - [Voice/Action]

[restoremyhonour]

Katara: Just remember, take it easy.

Zuko: Why is it you're being so careful about this. I've done it a million times before.

Katara: Your body has been under a lot of stress - I'm just saying that it could take some time, and to start small.

Zuko: Yes I know. You've mentioned that before.

Katara: Fine. Don't say I didn't warn you.

[ Apparently fire's quite the attention-grabber. Like everyone else, as soon as that burst of flames goes up, Allen heads towards the Barracks in a rush. ]

[With Zuko and Katara busy arguing, Sokka will field this one for you.]

No worries! The fire is gone.

[outwalks]

[ So it is! . . . Huh. ]

That was quick. What happened?

[markofthewise]

Zuko is over there jerkbending. Only he's a little out of practice.

1/2

[outwalks]

Jerkbending?

[outwalks]

[ He glances over-and there's Katara with a scowly-looking sort of guy. Suddenly jerkbending makes sense. Well, the bending part, at least. ]

Oh. I think I see.

[markofthewise]

Yeah. Firebending, jerkbending. Same difference.

[outwalks]

Well, I hope that wasn't your house, at least.

[markofthewise]

... actually it was. But it's just singed, that's all! Few days it'll be just fine.

[outwalks]

[ Allen looks at Sokka.

Then at the house. Recently on fire. ]

Ah, that's true! Patching it up shouldn't take long.

[markofthewise]

Not even that! Houses just like... get better on their own. Shifting, I guess.

[outwalks]

I've heard of Shifting. Does it happen all at once or slowly?

[markofthewise]

[Sokka shrugs.] I've never seen it in action. But when Aku destroyed the grocery store, it was back the next day.

[outwalks]

It sounds convenient! Although. . . maybe your friend ought to practice a little further away.

[markofthewise]

Probably. Zuko usually has a lot more control. He's just not been himself lately.

[outwalks]

I hope he feels better soon, then.
