"Two months, she wastes when she should have been sending her message to the South," Sokka grumps, hiding from all the excitement of the preparing women outside the hut with Miki in his lap, trying valiantly to stop his father from putting tiny shoes on his feet.  "And now she's coming three weeks ahead of schedule?"

A swarm of birds had arrived over the past week - from the men of the South, sent from their fleet to inform the tribe of their return; from Katara and Aang, confirming their presence at the wedding; Lu, Hana, and Iroh promising to attend; messages of congratulation from the North, King Bumi's court, the Fire Nation palace, the warriors of Kyoshi...

Perhaps it doesn't quite qualify a swarm, but it was more messages than any of the Tribesman had ever seen in the South at one time before.

Miki squeals in triumph when Sokka sets the boots aside to frown over at his fiancee.  "Katara came out of the womb determined to annoy me, I mean it."

The Fire Palace is techincally a series of much smaller buildings grouped together and locked by walled footpaths and ornate gardens. The Imperial audience chambers are in the centre, near where the Royal family live in a smaller, heavily walled domicile. Guests are quartered in expansive rooms in one of the outer rings, a short walk away from the temple, used by all who live in the Palace.

One of the low buildings in the temple itself is dedicated to memorials to the departed. Smoke rises in thin worms from a thousand incense sticks, set before rolls representing the dead, individually or collectively. At the front, facing the worshipper as he enters, are twin rolls representing the parents of the current Fire Lord - one handsome king with his face marked by a hug burn scar, and one exotic looking blue eyed woman, sporting a scar of her own. As only four people in the world have ever met Melaka Fray, no one's arguing the likeness.

The victims of the recent border attack are in a temporary position next to Zuko. Each name is written out in perfect and careful calligraphy grouped by nation, and not one is left out, no matter who they might have been or which element they subscribed to. The sand in front of that scroll burns with more sticks than anywhere else, today.

There's just something about the Frays that they manage to make any training exercise into a game, and any game into a training exercise.

Which is totally why they're still playing tag at age 15. Admittedly, it's high speed tag using ping pong balls as projectiles and combined with hide and seek using firebending to detect and control body heat.

Right now, Hana's 'it', and Hana's faster than any of them, which is why Louise has to run flat out into one of the empty buildings, turning to shut the door behind her. She grins in satisfaction when she finds no door at all. One of the quirks of Eden, working to her advantage.

But when she turns, and takes in her surroundings, the grin fades. Something wronger than usual has happened.

People who have known Sokka since he was fifteen, sixteen, or even seventeen have often shared a common hope - that he will, eventually, calm the hell down about his work. Or at least cut down on the questions and excited babbling.

At thirty-four, Sokka is dangling from the roof of one of the two-story buildings in Eden, sitting in a sling constructed entirely of scavenged blankets, replacing a broken bulb in one of the lights they'd long installed on the street. The source of the blood they found on the walls from the beginning was known now and, honestly, they all felt better knowing there was light on the street in the middle of the night.

So.

Dangling Sokka from a roof, replacing a bulb and checking out the wires. Possibly whistling. Though it might be a yowling animal of some sort. As Zuko likes to say, Sokka couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
