𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐅𝐀𝐈𝐑, 𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒𝐍'𝐓 𝐒𝐔𝐑𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐒𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 Sokka had fallen ill after the storm. They had landed the day before, taking refuge in a ruined building. He started coughing yesterday and now he lay slumped against Appa, bundled in his sleeping bag. His face was pale and sweaty, and his coughs were harsh.
Katara knelt beside him, pressing a wet rag to his forehead. "This should bring your fever down," she said softly.
Kya rummaged through her bag, pulling out a waterskin. "Here, drink some water," she urged, holding it out to him. Sokka took a sip before smiling deliriously. "You know what I love about Appa the most? His sense of humour."
Katara humored him. "That's nice. I'll tell him."
Appa growled softly, and Sokka chuckled weakly. "Classic Appa," he muttered.
Aang approached, looking concerned. "How's Sokka doing?"
"Not so good," Katara admitted. "Being out in that storm really got to him."
Sokka sniffled pitifully as Aang unfolded a small, crumpled map. "I couldn't find any ginger root for tea," Aang said, "but I did find this. There's an herbalist institute on that mountain. Maybe they'll have something to help."
Kya frowned, glancing at Sokka. "I don't think he should travel."
Katara sighed. "Sokka just needs rest. I'm sure he'll be better by tomorrow." She coughed lightly, then waved it off. "It's just a little cough. I'm fine—" She broke off into a deeper cough, groaning as she held her side.
Kya gave her a sharp look. "Not you too. Go lay down, Katara."
"Relax," Katara said weakly, "It's just a—" Another coughing fit overtook her. Aang shielded his face dramatically. "That's how Sokka started yesterday! Now look at him—he thinks he's an earthbender!"
