It was almost nightfall the next day when Zuko was able to drag a reluctant Katara back to the restaurant. After finishing the leftovers Katara had frozen they spent all day reading and playing with Korhi in the same meadow. Zuko had found three more of his favorite books had been altered from the author’s original form.
He was still reeling at the lengths his family went through to brainwash their citizens. Fire Nation characters had been inserted to portray the protagonist. Most characters from other nations had been relegated to the role of an animal. The only ones that remained were the most despicable of villains. He never would have guessed that Fiver and Hazel were rabbits seeking a new warren and not little Fire Nation boys on the run after their home had been flooded by Waterbenders. No wonder Fan, his Uncle, Lieutenant Jee and the ship’s engineer had nearly peed themselves laughing when he said he hoped he didn’t run into General Woundwort during his banishment. He was a rabbit not an evil Earth Kingdom warlord who wished to sodomize little Fire Nation boys and lock them in his harem. The only bright point was that his ignorance had brought Katara several hours of genuine laughter.
She was still smiling when they left the hotel and walked the short distance to the restaurant. They were led to a table not far from where they sat the previous day and ordered. Mu and the Zhao twins lifted their table, carried it across the restaurant and sent lowering ranking members of the new division whose table was where they wanted to sit across the room.
“So Zuke, how does it feel to be the object of a beautiful woman’s affections?” Zhao 1 asked as he stole a rice cracker from the bowl placed on Zuko’s table.
“Yeah Katara is beautiful but we all know she doesn’t want you,” Zhao 2 added.
“Are you saying my cousin isn’t beautiful?” Mu asked angling the knife he’d been using to cut his meat towards them.
“No, Mai’s beautiful,” Zhao 2 began.
“She’s just not a woman,” Zhao 1 added.
“Definitely reptilian in origin,” they deduced simultaneously.
Mu shrugged and resumed cutting his meat, “It’s maternal.”
Katara’s jaw dropped, “Isn’t she your cousin on your mother’s side?”
“Su Ying and Mai’s mother have a different father than mine. Mama always referred to him as a snake attempting to masquerade as a dragon. Her father was a true member of the nobility who died fighting in the Earth Kingdom. Theirs was a coward who profited from the war he paid a poor man’s son to fight in. Granny was a gold-digging widow from a minor noble family. He was filthy rich but from the merchant class. It was a match made in the shallow world that Fire Nation elite choose to live in,” Mu added as he lifted a forkful of food.
“She would kill you if she heard you say that,” Zuko laughed.
Puzzled by his comments Katara asked, “I thought you were Fire Nation elite?”
“Yes Lady Yung would kill me if she knew I said anything that referred to her status as a grandmother,” Mu replied to Zuko first before clarifying what he said to Katara, “and yes, my family is a member of the nobility but unlike Mai’s parents, mine decided it would be better to raise their children in the real world…
“A world where you get stabbed for stealing another’s food,” he said bringing down his knife with deadly accuracy on Zhao 1’s hand as he moved to steal a hunk of meat from his plate.
“Ow, I forgot koalasheep mutton was your favorite. That’s no reason to treat me like a criminal,” he muttered grabbing a napkin to staunch the blood. “I could get gangrene or rabies from this. That chopstick was covered in your spit.”
“So was your mo-” he stopped and switched to Fire Nation. “So were you mother’s tits but you didn’t die from breastfeeding.”
Katara deliberately dipped her cracker in the spicy sauce and began choking to hide her laughter. None of them needed to know how well she was grasping their language. She had already raised suspicion by insulting Mai in Fire Nation; this time couldn’t say she was only repeating what she’d heard said by two women arguing in the market.
“Milk, we need some milk over here hurry!” Zuko screamed as the tears ran down Katara’s face; her mouth was open and she was fanning her tongue. His cry was soon echoed by several others grateful he was footing the bills for their meals.
“Jin take the milk. That’s something you can do with one hand,” her uncle barked without looking into the lobby.
Jin carried out the pitcher and all of the soldiers pointed to a table on the back wall that wasn’t far from the bathroom. She stopped in her tracks, and dropped the pitcher while exclaiming, “Lee!”
Jin frowned for some reason that action that felt familiar. The milk she spilled never touched the ground as Katara immediately began bending it toward their table. She filled her mouth, letting it coat her tongue, before taking several more large swallows. She added the rest to her companion’s tea and a few more people’s at nearby tables.
“Why didn’t I know you a few months ago?” Mu exclaimed in amazement. “My niece was the fussiest infant I’ve ever met. She kept the whole house up screaming. I would have gotten a lot more sleep if that was all it took to feed her.”
“Yeah, us too, our sister is eight now, but man was she a loud baby. Getting away from that was the only good thing about getting shipped back to hell to study,” the twins agreed.
“I guess the two of you won’t have that problem,” Zhao 1 commented innocently. He had forgotten about what Zuko had said he’d done to her until the prince slammed down his cup and excused himself from the table. “Oh shit. Zuke man, I’m sorry I didn’t mean it that way. Katara you know that right. I didn’t mean it like that. Only that you would be able to send milk to your babies when they started crying not that…dammit I did it again didn’t I?”
Katara placed her hand on his discretely pulling some of the tea that had spilled out of Zuko’s cup when he lowered it to heal his injury. “I know what you meant. I’ve accepted the fact I may never bear children. It’s not like I ever wanted them and certainly not Zuko’s. If that incident had never happened and I found out I was carrying most likely would have been more successful in poisoning myself.”
“Your prince is having a harder time dealing with the fact there won’t be any living breathing proof to show the world he rapes me,” she said withdrawing her hand from mostly healed wound and setting it in her lap. “I’m glad he did that to me and I no longer have to worry so much about becoming pregnant.”
The twins jumped up to chase Zuko while Mu slid around the table and hugged her the way he did Ty Lee when she returned from spending time with her fiancée. Like his young sister-in-law the Waterbender actually thought someone was actually dumb enough not to notice the tears that accompanied her braggadocios lie.
