It was late when he found her standing outside beneath the stars. He knew she liked the night time as it was when her bending was her strongest, but she wasn't bending. She was just standing on the porch looking up towards the night sky.

"Katara, what are you doing out here in the dark?" he asked.

She shrugged and said nothing. He waited for a response or her to acknowledge him more than a shrug, but nothing came. He didn't mind the silence too much as he was used to it, though the silence with her was a different thing. "It's so dark out here, I'm surprised you can see much of anything."

He started to light a fire with his hand, but she covered his hand up before the light was strong. "Don't Zuko."

"Why not? I just said it's dark. I'm trying to give us light."

"No. You're taking away the light from the stars. It's not much, but it's beautiful to watch. It reminds me of home and how I used to watch the stars."

He listened to her and joined her in watching the night sky. He saw the stars the way she saw them, the way she described, and he saw the beauty in it. It was as if a firebender lite up the night sky, illuminating the heavens.  "It's breathtaking."

She smiled. "You should see it at the Southern Water Tribe. It's even more radiating."

Day two of Zutara Month.

Behold, the cheesiness! :cheese: Nah, I was just trying to do something different and I had no idea what to do, so I hinted around the luminous definition and hoped it all worked. :shrug: Maybe?

I own nothing. :D
