“The stars have their own language,” Yue said quietly, gazing up at the sky with a hushed kind of reverence. Her skin was smooth and flushed darker in the shadows of the night, contrasted with the luminescence of her hair, which only shone brighter. Braids rested on the sand behind her like rivers in undeserving earth that only seemed to enhance its glow as purer than all the silver in the Fire Nation.  How could she talk of stars like that, Azula thought without thinking, when all the celestials pale before her?  She started, scowling at the unwarranted notion, and turned her glare up at the sky. Damned stars. What did they ever do to deserve anyone’s praise? “Well, now you definitely sound crazy.”  “It’s true, though. You might think it odd, but when you’re surrounded by quiet enough, you learn to listen. And the stars love being listened to. They actually have quite a lot to say.”
