YOU’RE AN ANGEL FALLEN DOWN, WON’T YOU TELL US OF THE CLOUDS? ･✧
The sweltering heat is causing sweat to bead on her forehead as Ruby wakes up to the sound of birds chirping in the trees above their makeshift campsite and a clear blue sky stretching out forever. The Fire Nation seems to never be rainy. Every single day since travelling here, Ruby hasn’t seen a single day sans sunshine. She doesn’t really know how to feel about it all, being the Avatar. If she’s going to be honest, she really misses her garden in Ba Sing Se. She’s never had to use her earthbending for violence this frequently, having always avoided using it for anything other than gardening or sculpting, but she supposes that illusion couldn’t have lasted for forever, especially not for the Avatar. Some days, she wishes she could pass the mantle on to someone else and just go home, pretend to not care about world events unless they affect her like everyone else has the ability to do.
Then again, she supposes that if she weren’t the Avatar, she never would’ve met the girl sitting next to her. Ruby looks over at Anathema, feeling her cheeks heat up a bit as she realizes she had moved closer to the other girl in her sleep than she had intended to. She hadn’t meant to do that, but these days, Ruby finds her feelings surrounding the other girl more and more confusing than ever. She’s never really... had anything with anyone like that, but after spending weeks on end with Anathema while she learned firebending from her master, she had started to laugh more around the other girl than she’s ever laughed in her life. It’s all confusing and garbled in her head, but she’s not about to say it.
As she sits up, flattening down her hair, Ruby cringes a little at the calluses she can start to feel forming on the pads of her fingers from all the fire she’s been dealing with. Her hands have always been unbothered by external forces and delicate, but fighting and training have been roughening them up a bit. She looks over at Anathema, allowing herself to smile at her as she stands up, smoothing out the same traditional green earthbending dress she wears every day. “Morning, Ana,” she says, her voice a little thick from having just woken up. “Guess we’re gonna have to hurry up now, huh?” Ruby asks, the nervousness evident in her voice.
Ever since they had found out the previous day that the Earth Kingdom princess had been captured by unknown violent forces, Ruby’s world had started to speed up, and she didn’t like it. She couldn’t help anyone until she mastered all four elements, and she still had air and water left to master. With the pair currently headed for the Northern Air Temple in search of a teacher, Ruby had been becoming more and more anxious about it all. Air was the farthest element from her home element, earth, and she already knew she was going to be terrible at learning it.
Ruby’s packing up her sleeping bag, her fingers fidgeting nervously as she waits for Anathema to also pack up her things. “I really... I don’t know how we’re ever going to save her in time,” Ruby confesses, her teeth tugging nervously at her bottom lip. She usually isn’t one to complain about her responsibility, but if she’s going to do it to anyone, it’s to Anathema. “I just don’t know if I can do it, learn the elements and all,” she says, playing with a pebble on the ground with her foot.
