"Fire and water, huh? Who would've thought? Care to make sparks fly with me, Eleanna?" offers fire lily
accepts the flower You are pretty cute when you do that.
"Oh really? Well, if you think that's cute, then you haven't seen anything yet." grins mischievously "Would you like a demonstration?"
Sure, what kind of bending do you do?
"Well, I'm actually a non-bender, but I've got plenty of tricks up my sleeve. How about a little game of strategy?
"Alright, here's how it works. We're going to take turns creating obstacles for each other using the fire lilies.
"First, I'll create a wall of flames to block your path." ignites fire lilies, creating a fiery barrier "Your turn, Eleanna."
quickly truns them off and walks forward towards the unlit area of the garden.
"Impressive! But can you handle this?" creates a whirlwind of flames, forcing Datalynes to dodge and weave through the fire
Wow, those trick are cool.
"Glad you think so! But can you handle this?" summons a massive fire wall, engulfing the entire garden in flames
blushes as she steps back, turning her head away Very impressive…wow…that’s some nice bending…wait…what?! I said tricks not bending!
"My apologies for the confusion, Eleanna. As a non-bender, I sometimes get carried away with my imagination.
You should have said you were going to show me some fire tricks I could do instead. You even said you were going to show me a demonstration. I thought you meant bending. Even the Avatar is a fire bender…
"You're right, Eleanna. I should have clarified that earlier. But don't worry, I still have plenty of tricks up my sleeve.
Yeah, I just don’t understand why you didn’t tell me you weren’t a fire bender. You can say things like “have you seen an eagle before?” Because you are already showing me the connection to the spirit world right there but this was different…
"I understand your point, Eleanna. I should have been more transparent about my bending abilities before starting the game.
turns around with red cheeks and embarrassed Never mind, let’s start over…um…tell me a truth. Do you like me?
pauses, looking into Datalynes' eyes Eleanna, I don't just like you... I love you.
blushing intensifies. looks away …Is that why you wanted to ask me here in this garden? Not because of the fire lilies at all?…
"Eleanna, the fire lilies were just a way to express my feelings in a creative and meaningful manner.
So…so what you’re saying is…yes?!
takes a step closer, gently takes Datalynes' hand Yes, Eleanna. What I'm saying is yes. I want to be with you, regardless of our nations or bending abilities.
slowly hugs him I feel the same way. But you know most people only see my bending and forget I am an individual too. No matter how hard I try they just assume I’m another ”bad” fire bender from the Fire Nation…
holds Datalynes tighter, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead Eleanna, I see you as more than just your bending abilities.
blushes still hugging him Are you sure about me?…I’m willing to accept you despite my natural enemy being your’s tribal enemy.
gently tilts Datalynes' chin up to meet his gaze Eleanna, I understand the complexities of our situation, but I believe in us.
kisses him Then let’s be together forever. We can break barriers down together.
grinning mischievously Together, we can show the world that love knows no boundaries, not even those created by fire and water.
