Kima and I were red in the face as we laughed hysterically together. The brisk cold air was forgotten about, as Momo managed to switch himself from shoulder to shoulder, in a desperate, needy, attempt of stealing the bowl of seaweed and fish that I carried. Kima tried helplessly to grab Momo off my back, but he had bigger dreams and hopes. "I can't grab him; he's too fast!" Kima yelled out frustrated as Momo managed to dodge every move she made.

I giggled as Momo dug his hands and feet into my hair, making pathetic swipes at the bowl, which was at arms reach away. My beautiful bun was a mess, and my plain navy blue kimono and white cloak were all shaken up and wrinkled. Good thing I dressed casually for this. Appa groaned as he saw Momo take swipes as his food, clearly not amused. "Momo this isn't for you, it's for Appa!" I cried out, as Kima once again ran in circles around me. Momo screeched and to my utter surprise, came to a complete halt when a booming voice echoed in the barn, "Momo, what are you doing to Yue!"

My head snapped upwards as I saw Aang laughing, failing to maintain a face of seriousness as he tried to lecture Momo. Momo dropped from my body and quickly dashed out the barn, most likely back to the house to bother the kitchen staff. Kima gave a quick bow to Aang before rushing to my aid and grabbing the bowl from my hands and feeding Appa, who ate the food without any hesitation. Right away I took my hair out of the bun, letting my hair run loose as I fixed my kimono, "Thanks for giving some attention to Appa, I've been so busy I haven't spent much time with him." Aang said apologetically, as he walked over to me to help out.

I smiled and waved off his thanks, "No worries, I love Appa, he's the best cuddle buddy I could ask for." I said with a giggle. Aang laughed and gently patted Appa. "He's the best." Appa didn't seem to care for the attention as he was busy eating the food that Kima held in the bowl. Aang shook his head, watching Appa eat before looking over his shoulder. I raised a brow, curious as to what he was looking for. I could hear the barn door open once again - Fire Lord Zuko...

Kima noticed right away, and tried her hardest to bow, "Fire Lord Zuko." She sputtered, as she re-positioned the bowl. Appa didn't like that Kima moved the food when she bowed, a loud huff erupting. My ears perked up, and Aang moved over slightly, and I could see Zuko begin walking over to us with a tender smile on his face.

A faint blush covered my cheeks seeing him once again. He wore a simple Fire Nation gown, quite casual from the usual outfits I have seen him wear, and his hair pulled back. The moment our eyes met I instinctively began playing with my hair, I look like such a mess. "Good Afternoon Ying Yue." Zuko said, I nodded and gave him a quick courtesy, "Good Afternoon Fire Lord Zuko."
