This was a bitch and a half to cut down. The first draft was about 150 words over. x.x I tried not to let too much of the story get lost.

"...titanium is as strong as some steels, but 45% lighter."
Katara was bending away some stress in the river when Suki approached her in full Kyoshi warrior uniform, making the waterbender feel self-conscious in just her bindings. She blushed when she realized there was no facepaint to mask the almost-carnal look in the other girl's eyes as she flashed a grin and flicked open a fan.
"Play with me?"
"...Of course."
It was entirely different from sparring with Aang or Toph. Suki was quick, agile, and everywhere, able to match Katara's strength even without any bending. When she needed a real workout, she went to Suki.
It usually ended quite suddenly. But this time Katara wasn't only flushed from the fight when she found herself up against a tree, Suki pinning her wrists above her head with a smirk. Her frame was surprisingly light against the waterbender's, even through all her layers, so unlike the raw muscle the others displayed.
"I win."
The tone of her voice and the glint in her eyes made Katara whimper and squirm in place, and she couldn't help but look Suki pleadingly in the eyes. This caused her to abruptly release her captive and back up a step, horrified.
"Katara, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!"
Katara tensed, feeling guilty for her arousal, but realized the miscommunication and roughly drew the warrior back. She enjoyed the look of surprise and the small gasp more than she felt she should have.
"No, not scared..."
Suki stiffened in shock when their lips roughly met, but it didn't take long before she pressed insistently back.
