@honorforged asked: ❝ if you can’t sleep, there are other things we could do. ❞ —· for Claudia
She's looking at the stars longingly, thinking of her father figure and with a soft gaze she looks over at Zuko. Who's the only one right now able to take her mind off of Aaravos and his clutches that still remain within her. She can feel the itch to use magic, like a drug, her body seems to crave it but with Katara's weekly healing and therapy... she's been getting better.
"You know, I won't say no to that. Let me guess though, it might involve tea?" She rests against the window sill, her chin in her hand as she now gazes at him. Her eyes misty because she misses Aaravos despite all the lies and manipulations. They were on equal footing, it felt like, he understood her losses and she understood his need for revenge.
She longingly sighs, and reaches for Zuko's hand to follow him. "Lead the way, I'd very much rather spend this time awake with you then staring out the window for a second longer." Claudia sighs and smiles at the same time. She somehow always felt better after time with him. He seems to have that effect on her, and it makes her smile.
