Little Dipper Campfire - Saturday Morning

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara pawed at the campfire, trying to uncover some embers to blow into a fire.  Hands would have been really, really useful.  But...since Fandom appeared to have a sense of humour this morning, she was doing the best she could.

Oats would be nice too. 

[OOC:  Mmmm, lack of a campfire but still open!]

She snorted and nuzzled his ear. "It's not that bad."

"We have hoofs!" Zuko grumbled, tilting his head so the nuzzling would be easier.

"But they'll probably go away?" she pointed out. "And if we found sugar cubes and oats, it would be perfect."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"It better!" he protested instantly and he nudged his nose under her chin. "I wouldn't mind sugar cubes," he added sullenly.

"We could go raid the kitchen," Katara said thoughtfully, laying carefully down next to him. "Or try marshmallows."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Does it require getting up?" he wasn't sure how the getting up thing worked and he leaned his head on her back.

"Uh huh," she said. "There aren't any kitchens nearby." But she was comfortable like this really.

"Can't someone do it for us? I don't know how to open a cupboard like this," he asked.

"We don't have servants here, Zuko," Katara said, sounding miffed.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

He pulled his head back. "Could just be someone being nice." He was just feeling lazy.

"I'm not getting you sugar cubes," she snorted, laying her chin flat on the ground.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko sighed and leaned his chin back on her neck. "Fine."

If Katara could have just smiled, she would have, but the horsey lips didn't quite work that way. "Maybe later," she said.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

His tail swished and that was king of fun to do. "Later then," he agreed.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"And we can have oats too," she said thoughtfully. "Except I don't know what they are."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"So why do you want to have them?" Zuko wondered.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Don't they sound yummy?" Katara asked.

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"Oats," Zuko repeated slowly, with a swish of his tail. "I guess?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara stumbled flaily to her feet, startled yet again at having so many under her. "Or grass. I want some grass."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Hey, that was his head rest.

"Seriously?" he would have frowned if he could.

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"Horses eat grass," Katara pointed out. "I want to try it."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

"But you're not a real horse," Zuko argued. "What if you change back and then you get sick cause you ate grass?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

...

Damn logic.

Katara flopped back down on the ground, leaning up against him. "Maybe we should go play somewhere."

[thebluespirit.livejournal.com]

Zuko was just weirded out that he'd have to eat grass, really. Maybe oats weren't so bad after all. "You... want to play? What?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I'm trying to think of what horses do," she explained. "I'm bored."
