My Table Suki drank slowly from the cup of tea Zuko had set it in front of her, watching the banished Fire Nation Prince thoughtfully. Sokka said something that she paid no attention to, but made the others laugh, and out came what she had been watching for.
Zuko smiled and tilted his head so his hair covered much of his face. It was a shy, little boy smile, and it softened his face considerably. It made him less of the monster that burned down her home, and more like any teenage boy.
Without the scar, he would have been almost girlishly pretty when he smiled.
Suki took another sip of tea and grinned into her cup as the boy refilled Hokoda’s tea cup. “Someday, you’ll make a good wife,” she teased, watching Zuko blush and mutter under his breath.
