Open Meme

[weirdlet]

I'm in a creative mood. So- this here is an open Avatar: the Last Airbender meme. Post up to three- I'll promise one.

Since this is wide-open, please give me a specific to work off of- a line, a quote, a nebulous verb, something. Just a pairing does not count.

(And just as a note- the Dragon Hatching AU meme is still open, if anyone's interested!)

Edit- Meme is closed. I will fill out at least one of everyone's prompts, and more if circumstance permits. Thank you all for your patience, your comments, and the fun you've given me^^

The boy turns up hacking and coughing and a feast for fleas. Hakoda takes one look at him, orders hot soup made, and hauls him off to the sweat-lodge for a good scrubbing. He gets stripped *first*, because the last time the little fuckers got into the lodge they had to build it over again to get rid of them.

When you spend ninety-five percent of your time bundled up in heavy furs and leathers, fleas are serious business.

The boy has the remnants of horrible bruising from collarbone to belly, purpley-yellow and green in places. There's a roughly-healed scar where someone might've let blood out, and he still hacks and shivers even in the darkest heat of the lodge. He'll keep his fingers and toes, but Hakoda has seen men die like this, just healed enough to move but not enough to fight off the cold and sickness.

"Whatever possessed you to come out here on your own?" he asks, kinder now that the kid looks less like a broken-down pirate and more like a kid.

"There's a g-girl I'm looking for," he finally says. "About a head shorter than you, real pretty- hair in dangles, waterbender, has a blue stone necklace."

"That describes almost every girl of marriageable age in the tribe. Why are you looking for her?" Hakoda says, neutral.

"To get her to finish the job she started," he grins, and Hakoda suddenly wants very much to know just what his daughter has been up to whilst saving the world.

*Ruffles the scruffy Jet.* I love how he's so cheeky and uncommitted, as if he knows that Hakoda is Katara's father.

I also like the fact Hakoda kicks into parenting mode and switches into protective father mode at a breath.

It's what he does^^
