Character(s): Katara, Zuko
Location: Katara's dormitory
Rating: PG
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed
Summary: Unbeknownst to Katara, it's the night of the lunar eclipse-- and her body isn't responding well.


Katara, to put it lightly, was feeling horrible.

She wasn't sure what had happened to make her fall into such a state-- she had been perfectly fine just the day before, showing absolutely no symptoms of sickness. When she woke this morning, though, she couldn't even manage to muster enough energy to get out of bed, her body completely drained of energy. She'd grown up in the cold so the change in setting to the northern continent certainly couldn't have contributed to the change in her physical well-being. But at the moment, she was curled up in her bed with the covers drawn up to her chin, her body shivering with fever-chills and limbs aching from fatigue. But as tired as she was feeling and as much as she closed her eyes to try and rest herself to recover from her illness, sleep wouldn't claim her.

Katara shifted onto her side to try and find a more comfortable position, her hands drawing the blankets up over her head completely in a futile attempt to warm her freezing body.

It wasn't until he knew that she was completely out when he relaxed, finally. His arm weighed heavily draped over her side, hand unconsciously pressing to her back between her shoulder blades.

Agni ... what now?

Zuko swallowed heavily and forced himself to take a deep breath; a big mistake, the scent of her shampoo filled his nose. He wrinkled it, making a face (not that it was unpleasant, just strong). He tilted his head back against the pillow and sighed to himself, the chicobo hopping around with a quiet peep to check on Katara. It nudged Zuko in the forehead and hopped up settle and snuggle down near his arm.

"Great..."

It was going to be a long evening.
