Zuko shivered aboard his ship. His encounter with the water tribe girl a few days ago had been unsettling to say the least... unwilling to let her innocent blue eyes distract him from his mission. She was just a peasant of an enemy nation after all.
"What Uncle?" he asked, knowing the old man was looking at him without him having to speak.

Aleathea's arms felt like lead as she struggled to paddle the boat, and her eyelids were so heavy... She had been floating in this boat for at least four or five hours, and despair and fatigue were beginning to draw from her strength. There was nothing but endless water, all around, aside from the occasional block of ice, and she had close to no provisions left. She hadn't begun with much, and she wasn't dressed properly for the climate. She had several layers of ragged Earth Kindom clothes on, and it probably made her stick out like a sore thumb in all this white and blue. Well, at least she would be easy to spot, if any ships came out... But what ships were sailing out here?
Lost in though, Aleathea didn't realize the paddle was slipping from her numb hands until the last second, and she gasped as it fell into the water. Making a wild movement to try to retrieve it, she canoe rocked dangerously and she grapsed the sides of the boat to steady it and herself, icy water sloshing over the sides. She stayed still for a few seconds, to calm her pounding heart. If staying dry in the cold was freezing her, she didn't want to think about what falling into the water might do. She was no champion swimmer, that was for sure, and with half her limbs numb she knew she wouldn't stand a chance.
She bailed as much water as she could from the bottom of the canoe, then, feeling completely lost, she curled up and fell asleep, wondering if she would ever wake up again.
((Mwa! Hahaha! Mwahahaha!))
