The Call

Jaime Reyes voice sounds over the comm-rings--all of them--and it sounds very urgent.

« Everyone on the ship, listen up! This is Jaime Reyes, your local 'Blowing this pop stand' coordinator and escape facilitation engineer. I need everyone on the ship to come to the City, in front of the Precinct, immediately. Grab people who don't have their comm rings with them--and tell them to grab their comm rings, people who are sleeping, whoever you find, and try to make sure everyone on the ship knows to come. This is very important. This is "getting the heck out of here" important. »

When they arrive, they arrive to find the Command Staff waiting, and a tiny, tiny young man standing on stone ledge from a fountain, waiting for them.

Here goes nothing.

Mai slides up to Zuko quietly. Her arms are folded and she's got a look of grim determination on her face.

"I'm coming with you this time."

Good thing your arms are folded, Mai. You're in danger of having your hand held.

"Okay."

If she insists.

Well, she could unfold her arms for that. If he insists.

However, he gets a look of mock surprise, "Really? You're not going to tell me it's too dangerous?"

She's teasing, for the most part.

"Dangerous? For you?"

Is putting his arm around her waist alright? Because he's doing that.

"I feel worse for whatever's in the Bridge."

She's OK with that, at least right now. really, you need to stop vanishing into Stacy's guts for forever.

She turns towards him - and ignoring the crowd around them, at least for the moment - gives him a tight hug, "If they try to get in between us? Yeah. They're in trouble."

Oh, Mai. If only this crowd weren't here. Then Zuko would hug you all the livelong day.

But they both have reputations to maintain, so he settles for a quick kiss to the forehead before separation.

Mai accepts that and drifts away - not too far. Still within easy arm's reach, for all intents and purposes back to her sour-faced self. The keen-eyed observer might detect the trace of a smile on her lips, though.
