Drabble: Pointing the Way
Oct. 26th, 2009 12:00 amAuthor's Note: I really like the thought of Ty Lee being an airbender and not knowing it. It's an idea I plan to play with in the future. It's not supposed to be Aang/Ty Lee, but I guess it kind of gives that vibe.
Pointing the Way
The hair had finally started to grow back in a soft fuzz. Every morning, she shaved all the way back to the middle of her skull, displaying her still healing arrow gracefully.
She rested her chin on her arms innocently as the needles bit into the skin over her spine, leaving their ink behind.
“It’s all your fault, you know,” and he remembered the way she had flinched and clenched her teeth when those same needles moved over her skull and between her eyes. “No one’s impressed with my acrobatics anymore.”
“I’m still impressed,” Aang told her, re-inking his needles.
