Usually, when someone travels as much as Aisha does, or lives the way she does, ends up stumbling into a lot of unusual places and people – and the odd would dictate that at least half of these situations would be, for some reason, unpleasant, what can only mean past or fire – which is almost the same thing – for the young waterbender. For this one in question, it doesn’t happen.
If someone would ask why this happens especially with her, the girl would shrug and say it’s fate, and she can’t explain, but on reality it’s pretty easy: she avoids the past and fire, at all costs. There is, basically, no way she will run into things like this. She wants to forget—she has forgotten and there’s no way she’s going back.
––Unless has curiosity has created sparkles. When these are on, what could she do? Aisha tries her best to let it go on, but having feeling the fire burning too many times has taught her a lesson. And on the moment she set her eyes on Royal Electric’s bright red sign, she knew it would burn in any way, if she didn’t threw water at it.
Obviously, not literally. She wasn’t crazy enough to risk getting caught just to try flooding a place that held nothing special but an extravagant owner and Fire Nation signs way too obvious for her liking—which just got worse when she pushed the door open and stepped in the store to be greet with – surprise, surprise! – red interior.
What really surprised her, though, was when she walked up to the counter and the bell ringer didn’t have an earthy or fire-related color—as soon as she touched the ring, the feeling went away to be replaced with a slightly burnt sensation on the tip of her finger. “Shit.” She mumbled, taking the digit up her mouth and forgetting all the rest for the time being.
