"I've got you," Toph said, cradling Zuko carefully with her Earthbending. The scarred prince moaned, hot blood soaking into the ground through his fingers. "I'll get you to the Sugar Queen, and she'll fix you up, no problems."
Zuko groaned as Toph bent the earth around them, sending them both hurtling down the road faster than anything made of flesh and blood could move. She could smell the coppery stench of his blood on his breath as she leaned closer. "Talk to me, Sparky."
"About... what?" he rasped, the hand not pressed to his belly wrapping around hers.
"Anything," Toph insisted. "Tell me... tell me about sailing. I've never been sailing."
"'s boring, mostly," Zuko said wearily. "Stupid. Too much... water. Miles and miles, all around."
"That does sound boring," Toph agreed, squeezing his hand.
"Sugi horn... didn' wanna play. Dumb sugi horn."
"Bet you were awful at it anyway," Toph teased."
