Summary: She told him she’d pay him back for burning his feet. Written for the high_born challenge, “Payback”.
“So, are you done frightening the members of my court today, or should I have a physician on call?” Zuko asked, stepping out into the courtyard that was Toph’s private preserve. The Earthbender smiled the kind of smile that most found very worrying (but Zuko secretly thought was very pretty).
“Not my fault they don’t know how to take a joke. Bunch of wussies,” she said dismissively.
“A bunch of wussies who won’t leave me alone until I’ve talked to you about this,” Zuko reminded her. “And now I’ve done that, so I’m going to get back and see what I can do about soothing their ruffled feathers.”
His words were met with the slam of the earth rising up to fill the exits. Toph continued to grin. “No you aren’t. I’m kidnapping you.”
Zuko brushed some stray dirt from his robes of office and made a token protest about having a nation to run as he settled beside Toph in her rock garden.
