Charles Baudelaire, from a letter featured in The Selected Letters of Charles Baudelaire

[coffeemusings]

Kagome didn't have to finish her words for InuYasha to know what she was going to say and he nodded. "Yeah, but that's what we're goin' to find out. Also to see if any of the others are alive. Naraku ain't around anymore, so someone else brought 'em back, Kagome." Whether that someone did it with evil intentions or not, they were going to find that out, too. Hopefully. "I don't know how long exactly cause I don't know where his village is, but it could be dangerous where we're goin', Kagome..." Not to say she couldn't take care of herself, of course InuYasha knew she could. She was more than capable of holding her own. But still. He was protective. As always. "You should tell Miroku and Sango, so they can watch for any of the others, okay? I'll be back as soon as I can."

That's when he heard Bankotsu screaming at him, causing the half demon to growl and glare in his direction. "Pipe down, will ya!?" He yelled back before turning to Kagome again. "Tch, believe me, I'd rather do anythin' else than hang around that bastard, but I gotta figure out what's goin' on. Whatever the reason they were brought back, it can't be good. I'll be careful, okay?" He then leaned in to press his lips to hers, a lingering kiss that was filled with promise.

And then he heard his voice again. Damn, he was annoying. Growling, InuYasha turned in his direction, his eyes widening when he saw how far he was. "Oh, no you don't! I ain't lettin' you out of my sight!" He took off in a run and was at Bankotsu's side within seconds. "You're really damn annoyin', you know that? The faster we get this done the better, so let's go."

InuYasha hurried over to Kagome the second he saw her in the distance. His golden eyes carefully looked her over, making sure she hadn't been injured, and she didn't seem to be. Nor did she have the scent of blood on her. He looked visibly relieved, although confused as to why she followed him out this way and... how she even knew he was out here. "Worried? I'm fine, Kagome." He assured his wife with a chuckle, arms folding across his chest. "I was just--" His words stopped when she noticed the man behind him. The ghost? The monster? Whatever the hell he was since he was back from the dead and all. Again.

He looked behind him at Bankotsu and then turned back to Kagome, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly. "Huh? Oh, y-yeah. That's him alright." Though admittedly a part of InuYasha wishes that were the case because then he wouldn't have to worry about Bankotsu killing anyone nor would he have to figure out what the hell was happening. "Bankotsu's alive... again." He added. "And before ya ask, no, I don't have any idea how or why. Neither does he." A pause. "That's what he told me, anyway." He shot him a quick glare, then softened when he looked at Kagome again. "Dunno if the others are alive, too, but that's what we're goin' to find out. I was gonna go with him back to his village, see if we can figure out just what the hell is goin' on. And make sure he doesn't hurt anyone."

"Wasn't plannin' on bein' gone very long, but guess I should've still come to tell you, huh?" He frowned. "Sorry, Kagome. Didn't mean to worry ya," he muttered, leaning down to give her a soft kiss.

Jiang looked Bolin up and down when he placed his hands on his hips, as though he were trying to act tough. A failed attempt, really. "Okay, so then where are yours? Your skills, I mean. If that's the case. I don't see any ladies either." He gestured around them, finding no ladies in sight. There was something about Bolin that really annoyed the pro-bender. His brother, too. Hell, the entire team. He found it unfair that the Avatar had been allowed to play, to compete, but he'd keep that to himself. He didn't know when his own team would be going up against the Fire Ferrets, but now more than ever, he hoped it was coming so he could knock his bozo off of the platform and into the water.

Though his attempts to sound tough were amusing as hell and this time, Jiang laughed. "Oh, good one there, Bozo. Emphasis on if." He grinned. "The cobrawolves would swallow your precious little ferrets whole and when that time comes," not if. "I'll enjoy the look of defeat on the Avatar's face."

❖ || @coffeemusings asked:

"So, who the hell came up with the name Fire Ferrets, anyway?" Jiang snorted, arms folding over his chest. "Because if you were trying to go for something intimidating, I can tell you that it's not even close." (From Jiang, if that's okay <3)

Bolin quickly adopted a matching air as he scoffed right back and placed his hands on his hips. "We're the Fire Ferrets because we have a fire ferret; simple as that. Buuuut... Names don't need to be intimidating when it's your pro-bending skills in the ring that should do all the talking." A smug grin spread across his face — mostly because he impressed himself with that quick comeback. "Plus, having an adorable mascot appeals to lots of our fans... 'specially the ladies."

He paused and his grin widened more. "Why? You gonna be embarrassed if some Fire Ferrets beat you in a match?"

There was a look of pride in the cub's eyes as she remained atop of the prince, unable to hold back her laughter. Especially at the look on his face, which was the same every time, yet it never failed to amuse the lioness. It was obvious how much Simba hated it, but it was something for Nala to be proud of. Being able to best the future king of the Pride Lands? Oh, she loved it.

Only after a few seconds of Simba pushing and demanding she let him go, did Nala finally move off of him, but still she wore that look of pride on her face. "Mom says I should practice every day and that's exactly what I'm doing!" She smirked. "You just hate losing, that's all it is. What's the score now? 28 to 0?" She giggled, knowing she was probably exaggerating a little, but then again... was she? "Maybe you should come hunting with me and the other lionesses." She teased, but then she saw the look on his face and rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on, Simba. You're always trying to scare me and you're always pushing me into the watering hole." So this was her way of giving him payback. It was only fair, right?

"Anyway, is it just us today? Or is Zazu coming to?" She hoped not.

"Nala?"

Silence.

"Nala!? Come on, where are you!?"

The lioness grinned to herself as she remained quiet and hidden within the tall grass, her eyes trained on the prince - on her prey - as he called out for her. The cub stalked towards her best friend and anytime he looked in her direction, she'd come to a halt and lower herself to the ground in hopes to avoid being seen.

She'd been training with her mother and the other lionesses as of late, bettering her hunting and stalking, and who better to practice on than her best friend? It wouldn't be the first time, much to Simba's annoyance, but Nala was supposed to practice as often as she could and so here she was doing just that, silently stalking the prince as he continued on and continued calling out for her.

Only when he came to another stop, his back to her, did Nala finally 'attack'. She leapt from the grass at Simba and with all four paws at the ready, she pounced right on top of him, causing the two to take a bit of a tumble and once they came to a stop, the lioness was on top of the Prince, giving him a victorious and proud smile. "Gotcha!"

Garnet watched the interaction between the three boys unfold. It was rather amusing, really, and dare she say, deserved, thus why she didn't step in to rescue Zidane. More often than not, he landed himself in these situations and he could easily find his way out. Or simply wait until it finished which is what she decided to do as she watched them with a grin on her face. She was quite ready to get out of this dress, but that would be rather inappropriate with Blank and Marcus in the room, so she'd wait, knowing this scene would be coming to an end shortly.

"Oh, don't worry about me. I know exactly how to handle him." The Queen stated with a smirk, but she wasn't wrong. Zidane would likely take her words the wrong way, though not completely wrong because there was a suggestive tone to her words which was quite bold of Garnet to do with others in the room, but that was proof of how much she's come out of her shell. How comfortable she was and how happy. Even if at times she still felt caged when in this castle.

Garnet only blushed when the words about breaking each other fell from Blank's mouth, but before she could say something in return, the door closed, leaving just the two of them.

Finally.

"Unsupportive? Did they not just save you, Zidane?" She kindly reminded him with a shake of her head as she made her way over to him, her lips curling into a smile at his words. "Right." She said without hesitation, without doubt and without regret.

They were together, were they not? Partners. Lovers. In a way, married, even.

"On an adventure?" She chuckled, leaning against the bed, towards him. "Are you planning on kidnapping me? Without my asking this time?" The look in her eyes was one of excitement, of hope. How long had it been since they left this castle together? And on more than just a trip to Lindblum.

A sigh fell from the Queen's lips. That was a discussion they needed to have. That she needed to have with Zidane. But how to start?

She returned the mischievous look as she turned around, her back now to him. "Then be a gentleman and unzip your Queen."

Garnet withdrew her hand from Zidane's face when he doubled over without warning, crying out in agonizing pain that she almost believed was real. For a split second, her expression turned to one of concern, but then she remembered where they were and what they wanted to do:

Leave.

Which meant she needed to be acting, too. So, with a quiet clear of her throat, Garnet kneeled beside her lover, hands gently grabbing for his hands. "Zidane, my love, are you alright? What ails you?" The Queen loudly questioned, her voice laced in mock concern, but everyone around them seemed to be buying into the act. With the exception of those that knew them. Like two of his most loyal and trusted friends, for instance. Blank and Marcus. Two men she, too, grew quite fond of, and whom she owed her life to. Especially Blank. And she was quite sure they knew this was all an act. Probably even in on it, too.

And hearing their comments, followed by Zidane's response, nearly had the Queen giggling, which would've have certainly given this act away. So she simply covered her mouth to stifle said giggle, instead acting as though it was simply unbearable to witness her lover in such agony. "Please take him there straight away! I shall follow behind and call on the doctor!" She called out, trying not to grin at the gasps and concerned murmurs within the crowd, though near the exit, standing guard, Beatrix and Steiner showed no worry. Beatrix looked rather disappointed with the way she was shaking her head and Garnet could just hear her sigh from across the room.

Whereas Steiner shot her a rather displeased look. Though neither did anything to stop her, because they knew there was no stopping her and if this was outed as an act, well, that would be embarrassing for all of them so they didn't dare risk it.

So Garnet hurried towards the exit, following behind the three, and she flashed an apologetic smile at the General and Captain before disappearing from the ballroom. It didn't take long for the four of them to arrive in her bedroom, prompting the Queen to quirk a brow at Zidane, her lips stretching into a grin. "Your chambers?"

[coffeemusings]

"Wooaah there, lil' bit! You dang near knocked me over! Where you gettin' to in such a hurry?" From Adult!Gideon to Lionessa c:

"There she is!"

The lion cub glanced over her shoulder as she ran faster in hopes to put more distance between her and the ones chasing after her. Thankfully, she had the greater speed between all four of them, but they weren't too far behind and she could see them rounding the corner, still heading in her direction. "We'll get her now!" One of them called, the others laughing behind him.

"You better go away! Or else!" She called out with a growl.

"Or else what? Your daddy ain't gonna help you anymore!" The leader laughed, the look in his eyes anything but friendly.

Lionessa pushed herself to run faster, though she could feel herself growing tired, but she turned another corner and--

crash!

The collision knocked the cub backwards with a yelp and it took her a good few seconds to realize what even happened. "Ouch.." She groaned, shaking her head and getting to her feet. "I'm sorry! I wasn't--"

"She went this way, come on!"

She let out a gasp and looked over her shoulder again, then glanced around for somewhere to hide. Because they'd for sure catch up now "H-hey, can I hide in your van? Please?" The cub asked, panting. "I won't make a mess, I promise!" She looked behind herself again when she heard their footsteps, then back at Gideon, her eyes filled with worry. "Just until the three of them chasing me leave." @fledercanons

Jet could feel himself calming down the second Katara returned his embrace. All anger, all hurt, starting to disappear. Had that been said to him several months ago, he would've lashed out. It likely would've turned physical, but he was trying not to be that guy anymore. He was trying to control his anger and not let his hate control his actions and so this time, he walked away. He kept himself in check, ended the conversation and left. Of course there was more he could have said, more he wanted to say, but it wasn't worth it. She wasn't worth it. From the look in her eyes, and from how quiet she went, she knew what she had said was wrong, or so he thought. Hoped.

Of course, Jet wasn't completely innocent. They were going at each other, trying to come out on top, get the last word in, but then it went too far.

"It's... fine." Sort of. He didn't really know, but he also didn't really know Mai. Only to... be careful around her. "I know I annoyed her, Katara, but she..." he scoffed. "She said I couldn't come to the beach Toph made and I don't know why! I don't know why she hates me. I'd barely even talked to her until then." Maybe she had heard about what he did back then, but who was she to judge? "Is she... always really like that?" Did she always say cruel things like that? Jet understood that she had a different sense of humor, but that wasn't funny at all. Maybe she just said it in the heat of the moment, but still... it was wrong and the thought of his home burning down, and losing his parents, played in his mind and he clung to Katara. "I walked away, Katara.." He told her, sighing. "I walked away."

● — || @coffeemusings continued from HERE .

● — || Katara swallowed the [ [ t h i c k ] ] knot that formed in her throat when she heard the shakiness in his voice . Spirits , did she hate it . She hadn't seen that look in his eyes for a long , [ [ l o n g ] ] time . She'd caused it , before . This time ? . . . Someone else did , and she wanted nothing more than to take it away .

Amicable relocation .

She looked down at their hands the [ [ s e c o n d ] ] that his squeezed hers tighter . Her thumb brushed against his knuckles , as those words sat in her mind . She couldn't [ [ b e l i e v e ] ] that someone she viewed as a friend would say [ [ a n y t h i n g ] ] like that . No , not just that . It was [ [ i n c r e d i b l y ] ] difficult to imagine that Zuko was [ [ d a t i n g ] ] someone who would say something so cruel . She knew that Mai had an [ [ i n t e r e s t i n g ] ] sense of humor -- but this . . . was a different kind of low .

❝ I don't - . . . I don't know , Jet . It was uncalled for , and it wasn't something that you deserved to have thrown at your face . ❞

As his arm wrapped around her shoulders , [ [ c l u t c h i n g ] ] her smaller frame into his stronger one like it was a lifeline , Katara's free hand clutched onto his shirt . She closed her eyes as she took a long , [ [ s l o w ] ] , deep breath .

“What? No! Don’t do that.” He frowned. “Of course not! It’s perfect the way it is, I promise. Just, um, just leave it right there.” With part of it hovering over the ocean… it would be fine, right? “It’s time for you to get some rest. No more energy drinks for you for a good while.”

"I'm removing your title as a seeing friend." Sweat dripped from her face, leaving a pool of exertion under her. "If I move it again I'm gonna DIE. Is that what you want?!"

[coffeemusings]

“Hmm… move it a little more to the right… no wait, too much… now to the left. Wait! Move it back a little. There!” Jet points, then sighs. “No, wait… well… maybe it just needs another mountain next it?”

"Does it look good here?"

The mountain shifts across the island with a flexed arm and a wide stance.

"Or here? UGH! Where are my seeing friends?"

[coffeemusings]

Will Zuko and Mai be able to talk things out? Will Jet ever forgive Mai for the hurt she caused him? And just what kind of creations has Toph brought about during her caffeinated adventure?

Find out on the next episode of Avatar: Elemental Glee!

What you missed on ATLA:

During an argument over the new beach Toph [ @flxshy] made, Mai [ @bloodofthefates ] said something regrettable she intended as a joke, but Jet [ @coffeemusings ] took it to heart, and now everyone is sad in the club. Mai and Zuko are having a painful heart to heart that is addressing the indoctrination they've both suffered and how that kind of thing doesn't just fix itself when the war ends, and that even a dark joke can be hurtful when the wounds inflicted on the other nations are still so raw. Oh, and Katara is big mad, so watch out for her [ @droplct ] or you might get water whipped.

Toph is still high on caffeine and rearranging the landscape of the fire nation.

[coffeemusings]

The fact that all of this angst and drama is happening while Toph is probably out there creating mountains, beaches and new continents has me dying 😂
