Description Illustrated for dead2self [link] who surprised me by guessing a plot connection during one of her reviews.

A scene from "Port Destiny", the 13th story in my Avatar: The Last Airbender fan-fiction series found at [link]

Excerpt from "Port Destiny"
(segment 3 - Follow the Leader)

“Katara! Wait!”

Zuko grabbed her by the arm and yanked her back into the alley the moment she stepped foot in the street. He spun her around so that her front and his back were facing the open lane.

“Sentries usually go in staggered sets!” he explained in an angry undertone. “There will be another-”

“What’s going on down there!” called a voice from the street as two guards came into view, peering down the alley.

Zuko froze, too alarmed at having been caught to even give Katara a dirty look. But the water bender seemed completely unphased. She took a step to the side in order to see past Zuko, her hands on her hips and a look of fury on her face.

“Lover’s quarrel here,” she barked nastily at the men, “do you mind?”

Such a great line! Such an awesome scene!!

Big, brutal firebenders have no problem taking out an entire civilization, but heaven forbid that they take on one angry girl!!!!

I love not only Katara's prissy irritation, but also the little hint of Zuko's shocked expression. He's clearly thinking, "ZOMFG she did not just say that!"

khehe, Katara's expression is hilarious . Making the sides of her mouth slightly concave really adds a lot of 'attitude'.

Thanks! But i can't take too much credit for the background: it's a combination of stock photography and PhotoShop foolery (which was just faster than trying to paint it all by hand).

Thanks! I was thrilled with how she came out. I did her -completely- without reference. And that's not something i can normally do. Usually, i work up a rough sketch first and then find a screen cap to help me get the details right. But this time, she just came together all on her own.

Anyway, i'm gald you like it.
