His eyes glanced over just as hers darted up, catching them. He narrowed his eyes when they darted back down but shrugged a shoulder, his own attention lowering to the kittens now on his thigh and in his lap.

'There's a Cadet who can manipulate water; remember the one accused of being a sorceress back in August?! Well! Looks like she's more like a guardian angel if anything!! She was seen saving a male Cadet in the deep end of the Pool earlier last week! Isn't that sweet?! And I hear around the grapevine that they aren't the best of friends either! Maybe this is just what they need and they'll hook up! Best of luck you two!!'
Zuko still cringed whenever he thought back to that part of the gossip columns. In fact ... he still cringed about a lot of things that had happened over the past six or so months between them; the kiss in the training center, his injury, how she'd had to help him for most of his recovery time, their arguments, his feelings, the fact that he'd woken one morning to find her practically next to him while he'd slept ... his feelings...
... The incident two weeks ago... his FEELINGS...
"...Why aren't you there? You could be putting your dancing classes to good use." He'd shot her a glance as he said this, brows still furrowed.
