Long slender tanned fingers rapped against the polished wood of the bottom banister as soft water blue eyes lifted upward towards the top. Katara was going to give one more minute and then she was gone.



Already she had been waiting for him appear for nearly twenty minutes and the party had already begun in full swing. Of course Katara would not be out there to enjoy it. Not with her husband still taking in account to his appearance. Sometimes she wondered if Zuko should have been a woman with all his primping and preening in front of the mirror.

When Geldher left him alone, Jacob was surprised to find how much he missed his new master. He never thought slavery could grow on a man. The chain at his throat no longer pained him. His skin still bore the marks where it had scratched and pinched when Geldher had first lain it around his neck. He welcomed its rough caress, even longed for it when Geldher allowed him to walk without it.

Jacob watched the slant of sunlight cross the floor. Only when Geldher opened the door to the small hut did he breath a sigh of relief.
