“You’re hotter than I am.” He murmurs lovingly and longingly against her lips, his hands caressing her body, his fingers leaving a trail of damp lines along her clothes. 
With their bodies so close together, he could now free up his left hand that would cup her face as he slips his tongue into Katara’s mouth.

A heavy blush touches Katara cheeks when she catches Xiong getting out of the shower after she’s burst into the bathroom. “I-I’m so sorry!” she squeaks, managing to cover her eyes.

Xiong would close his eyes and just let her know through the meshing of their lips how much she means to him. He didn’t know what might have caused her reaction, but what mattered to him was making sure that she was okay. 
He would hum playfully as she deepens the kiss, returning the gesture in spades, wrapping his arms around her waists, pulling her closer to him.

“Katara, if I was upset about you seeing me naked, I would’ve acted as such.” Though, the former commander was significantly more level headed than most firebenders in any situation, that didn’t really hold much weight. It wasn’t the first time that the waterbender had seen him naked, and it wouldn’t be the last.
Bringing his hand up from her shoulder, resting it along the left side of the waterbender’s face, droplets of water from his hand falling to the floor, Xiong would press his lips softly againsts Katara’s, to hopefully quiet her mind and through connection, her mouth. “It’s alright Katara.”

Xiong figured that there wouldn’t be any interruptions to use the shower. Taking off his clothes, folding them up and laying them gently on the floor, he would go into the shower. Using some time to clear his head before actually starting to wash his body off, ignoring the pain as the water ran along the scars on his back. 
Though he was at peace, there was rarely a time that he was entirely off guard. Hearing the door fly open, the firebender couldn’t tell if he was being summoned since of an emergency or being attacked, so either way, he turned the water off, with force almost breaking the handle off before turning his attention to the door and the source of the interruption. 
Coming across Katara, his mind was still in professional mode. “Something the matter Katara?” It would takes some time for his mind to rest and to realize that he was in front of her exposed. His cheeks lighting up faster than any fire could hope to, he would wrap a towel around his crotch. Walking over to Katara, he would rest his free right hand on her left shoulder, skin and hair still damp from the shower. “Katara, it’s alright.” He would murmur softly over at the water bender.

Xiong knew how strong Katara is, but seeing her in her current state gave way to great concern. There was never any certainty about the future, but to see it affect her so much made him worry. He would nod his head. “I’ll be here as long as you want me to be Katara.” He’d rest his hands softly on her shoulders, looking over at her. 
“I can stay, if you want.”

Xiong kept his cool well enough, knowing the dangers of using his firebending out of anger. Feeling the cold water splashing him, soaking his clothes and chilling him moderately, he would initially blink a couple times to soak in the information. “If you really wanted to see me shirtless, all you had to do was ask.” Though he wasn’t going to say this was the way he had hoped for the situation to resolve itself, he was flexible. Taking off his shirt, he would playfully throw it Katara’s way. Taking some to focus his thoughts on his fire bending, he would encompass himself in a flame pillar to dry himself off. “No worries, Katara.”
@fiercxlyhopxful​
“Well then. That esculated quickly.” (valiant-phoenix-wanderer)
“I didn’t mean for that to happen!” she exclaimed, blushing at his now soaked clothing. They had been having a slight spat and she lost control and soaked his clothes. “I-I’m sorry!”

Xiong kept his focus while at home on helping Ty Lee to return to normal as best as he can. Lao knew how much his wife wanted to be able to do things on her own and honestly it was one of things he adored about her. A friendly demeanor that wasn’t clingy and an independence that wasn’t to the point of arrogance. It was a nice balance, though he did enjoy the challenge at times of getting her to accept the help of others. 
He kept a portion of his focus on her at every point of the day. He was concerned about other effects of the occurrence that induced on her, but she didn’t seem to exhibit any psychological effects. At least until the nightmares started. The lighter episodes, she would fall back asleep before he could check up on her. 
This night was different. Lee’s breathing didn’t relax and the bed vibrated and shook as she dealt with the nightmares. He would wake up and look over at her. His military experience made him used to waking up at the slightest sign of abnormality as with the past episodes. Sitting up, he would look over at her and rest his hand softly on her shoulder and tried to nudge her awake out of the harrowing event. 
When that seemed to provoke her, Lao would call out to her and try to reach her through the breach between her sleeping state and his awake state. He didn’t want to resort to shaking unless it turned really bad given he knew that he would end up regretting the decision, either physically or emotionally. 
Seeing her finally coming to, the man would let out a long deep held in sigh of relief. Hearing her apology, he would let his worries ease on his face as he wraps his arms around her softly, lovingly, and supporting while doing his best to refrain from agitating the remnants of her injury. “It’s alright Lee. You and Khalama are the two most important people in my life.” He would answer softly as he rests his right hand softly on her left cheek to enforce the fact that he was there given she was most likely not entirely there. 
@circusxxfreak
💌 | @valiant-phoenix-wanderer sent :  “Wake up! Wake up!!! You’re having a nightmare!”
The first few weeks that Ty Lee had been home originally had gone on fairly quietly while she recovered from her injuries and settled back into life with her family. She was healing fine and getting stronger again, she was able to enjoy being with her daughter and spending time with her husband, and at least for a little while until she went back to work, have a taste of a normal domestic life. 
Then the nightmares started. In the beginning, they hadn’t been much beyond waking her up in the middle of the night and she’d eventually fall back asleep; but progressively they became worse. Such as tonight as her husband tried to wake her from a fitful sleep. Lee jerked awake, sitting up right, covered in a layer of cold sweat, her heart nearly pounding out of her chest as she tried to catch her breath. Nervous eyes looked around the room, almost confused before she found her husband’s gaze. The warrior relaxed a little, dropping her face in her palm as she tried to reground and calm herself, “Sorry…” she muttered tiredly.

An Unlikely Reunion
Xiong couldn’t believe how much had changed since he could last remember being inside the Fire Nation Palace. At times, it seemed like only yesterday that Zuko, Azula, Mae, Ty Lee, and him were all children, mainly free from the worries of the world as they played. Now met with the realization that Zuko was the new fire lord, it partiy made him feel like an old man. The children had taken over various rules that were deemed best fit for people much older than them. 
The former commander had taken the time to meet back up the men that sailed under him during his time with the Fire Nation army. He had to make it up to them for what he had to put them through, but it was heart warming to hear that they held no hard feelings. He was slightly embarrassed when the men smothered him in a hug symbolizing a reunion that was hard on all of them. When confronted with joining them for the formal declaration about the end of the 100 year war, the firebender would refuse, his heart heavy with regrets and sorrow, needing the time alone. 
Passing by the incinerated ruins of the house that held all his memories of his parents only tore at his heart. He barely had any memories of them, hardly able to remember what either of them looked like without the use of the pictures that littered the halls. The near sudden shift of his position in the war and the heavy risk it bore to return home meant that he couldn’t get any mementos to help preserve their memories. His time as a deserter had his focus centered on his survival only hastened the degradation of their memory. 
Taking advantage of the ceremony, Xiong would return to the last place that remained in one piece that also held some sentimental signifcance to the person who was considered Azula’s closest male counterpart in terms of firebending ability. The open veranda beside the hall from the main doors of the palace to the palace building itself. Being in the area brought back so many memories, though a mixture of emotions was exhuded from the recollection. 
Taking a deep breath, he would simply focus his thought on calming down. His boiling rock prisoner outfit would be the only thing separating his flesh from the bark of the tree as he rested his back against it, staring up at the clouds as they passed. There was so many things he felt the need to do, but was torn between how or even where to start. Every passing step felt like it was a mile away, unaware of the source of the steps.

Rough Road Ahead
(Just a drabble based on @pureheartedhonor‘s coup de etat that I read. Since this is on an OC blog, the OC will still come in.)
The war had only been over for a few short weeks, as was told by the still recovering wounds that lay scattered across the world and all four nations. The temples that once housed the air nomads, almost left to fade into obscurity and the water tribe whose waterbender numbers had only recent begun to rebound from the tolls of the war being the most prominent sources. 
The Fire Nation itself was under its own dire situation. The country harbored a dark sect. A sect that sought the resurgence of the former Fire Lord Ozai or the coronation of the current fire lord’s sister, Azula. The Sect was led by the former Admiral Zhao, who still harbored his resentment and hatred for losing to Zuko those many moons ago in an Agni Kai. 
The firebender couldn’t stomach the concept that the Fire Nation could live as equals to the other bending countries, people that Zhao and those supported him as nothing less than insects in comparison to Firebenders. Some turned against the current Fire Lord out of fear of Azula, a powerful trait that the Princess still bore whether or not she used it. Others still harbored feelings that the Fire Nation should rule the world, a fate ‘better’ than the one that they were forced to accept. 
The attempt to free Ozai was not an act in solidarity. The intent was also to free Azula so that the two could once again lead the Fire Nation to the future that Zhao and those that sided with him felt was the best for all, regardless of anyone else’s opinion. 
Though Zuko had managed to stop the attempt to release of his father, the fact that Ozai still had supporters deeply disturbed Zuko. The Fire Nation was still trying to earn the trust and support of the other nations. If any attempt was made to overthrow him, Zuko quickly realized that there would be little of an offerof assistance or by the time word reached the other countries it may be too late by the time the reinforcements arrived.
While large scale help was still a long shot, Zuko knew that he could at least tell the friends he had made during his entire life, both fighting for the Fire Nation and fighting against it. 
A consensus was quickly reached by the Fire Lord’s friends that the Kyoshi Warriors should supplement the Fire Nation Royal Guard in case the Royal Guard turn against Zuko. The decision was met with initial hesitation by Zuko for drawing the Kyoshi Warrior away from the reason for their creation, but such hesitation was assauged by Suki and Ty Lee. Another consensus was that all of them would remain inside the chambers of the Fire Nation palace to hopefully dissuade any attempts to kill Zuko by his own men that turned against him. 
The idea was placed that Jeong Jeong, Pakkun, Bumi, and Iroh should also be informed about the situation, but this was met with a lot more intense dissent from Zuko. The members of the White Lotus had already seen enough war in their lives and they should be left to live the rest of their lives in peace. Zuko also contended that this was their generation to lead and shape and that they should go to the Lotus members for advice, not for help. If they relied too much on the last generation, they would be unable to lead the world in the right direction when the Lotus members passed on. 
This alteration was passed on through a traitorous guard to Zhao. Zhao saw this as nothing less than a minor inconvenience given his underestimation that other benders provided against the Fire Lord’s removal. The only people Zhao cared about saving were Firebenders, though he wouldn’t have any regrets about killing them if they stood in his way. Zhao would simply use the traitorous guard to figure out a day when there would be the most men sided with the former Admiral on guard duty to minimize resistance on that end and to add to the forces to remove Zuko from the throne. 
Days would pass with a frightening flash that trailed with a slowly growing anxiety about the possibility of a possible Coup De Etat being staged. Then the night finally arrived. 
Under the star lit skies after most people have went to bed for the night, Zhao spent the day, gathering all the men under his command besides those that were stationed to stand guard that day. Once the men were all gathered and suited up for battle, the men would begin their march toward the palace. The men stepped in tandem, though they also kept their steps light to keep from being heard and refrained from firebender to do their best to maximize their chance to have the element of surprise. 
No amount of silence or lack of light would allow the collection of steps to keepToph’s Seismic Sense from alerting her about the descending threat that was approaching the palace. Toph would go to the closest room from hers, in which laid Sokka. Gradually, Ty Lee, Mai, Zuko, Katara, Aang, Sokka, and Suki, were all awake and were heading in the direction dictated by Toph of the approaching force. 
By the time the group arrived at the section of the palace the Coup was planning to enter from, the Kyoshi Warriors were managing to keep Zhao’s forces from entering the palace, but the sheer number of firebenders were keeping the Kyoshi Warriors on the defensive. 
Slamming her right foot down on the ground, Toph would erect a wall of earth to shield the Kyoshi Warriors. Thanking them for their work and telling them that the group will handle the rest. Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, and Mai knew that they couldn’t confront the fire benders head in on the numbers they have. Suki instructed them to follow her so they can assist from the side, under the shelter of the smoke from the flame to keep their presence hidden, having to backtrack for extra opportunity to stay unnoticed.
Several hundred yards away, a young man sat indian style in front of a pair of graves in a meditative slumber. The lights from the fire, although diluted by the distance stirred him from his sleep. Sapphire blue eyes would fix on the source of the light, upon noting it as the palace, the man would stand up and start walking toward the palace by the most direct path. 
The strenght and skill of Zuko, Aang, Katara, and Toph was countered by the sheer strength of Zhao and the firebenders that sided with him. Toph had to rely on a mixed approach to keep herself and the others protected as best as she can. Toph would pickup on the approaching footsteps, but had to keep herself focused on what was in front of her, so the idea of mentioning the person would slip from her mind. 
Zhao was perplexed and enfuriated by the fact that an entire legion of fire benders weren’t overwhelming 1 and a quarter firebenders (the quarter being Aang), along with a bunch of seemingly worthless other types of benders. The conflict was not meant to be drawn out and Zhao had to balance the concept of damaging the only worthwhile people in the world in his mind with the desire of removing Zuko from power. A direct approach had failed, so next option would be to turn public sentiment in the Fire Nation against the Fire Lord. 
There was barely a moment of hesitation before Zhao issued his next order, one that would horrify Zuko and his friends. “Raze the town. Show the world that the Fire Lord is incapable of leading his own men.” Zhao commanded with a pirdeful fury. A half-dozen firebenders broke off and turned right to head into the city and another half-dozen broke off on the left side of the forces, but both were met with a barrier.
By this time the young man from the graveyard had found his way to the point of the altercation on the right side of Zhao’s forces just shortly before Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, and Mai had arrived at the left flank. “Either help us or stay out of our way.” Zhao commanded, not really caring who the young man is, not wanting the help of Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, and Mai even though he knew he wouldn’t get it. Even if the young man wasn’t a firebender, the help would possibly help to shift the scale.
The warmth of the flames as the tongues of fire danced across the sk, occasionally licking the young man’s face as they flew. The light of the fire was the only cue that Sokka, Suki, Ty Lee, and Mai had at looking the young man’s face. The young man’s face would be aglow with the light of the fire as he shook his head, denying both presented options. Zhao’s already explosive attitude erupted at the young man’s gall to stand in his way. “Then perish.” 
The six fire benders that broke off on the left flank would attack Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, and Mai, though the fire benders were quickly subdued. The six that broke off on the right flank would attack the young man. Sliding his left foot forward along the ground, erecting a wall of fire to stop the fire sent his way as he pulled his right arm back. Capitalizing on the opportunity and having more breathing room without fear of being burned alive, Toph would use her earth bending to cut off Zhao’s escape path, though the Admiral wasn’t the type to look back. The young man would launch a more powerful fire blast back at the attacking firebenders. 
While Zhao may be a lot more headstrong and adamant, the men under his command weren’t as resolute. While still looking ahead, the men can see with their peripheral vision that they were caught in an impromptu pincer attack and their only escape path was blocked off, causing the men to start panicking. The moment was capitalized upon as Suki, Sokka, Ty Lee, and Mai whittled down from the left flank as Aang, Katara, Toph, and Zuko focused on the center and the young man knocked out the men on the right flank.

“Looks like it’s time to change out the old guard. That or I need to personally ensure that the Fire Lord’s father stays in prison.” The former commander would simply mutter to himself. Though his face was passive, his eyes bore his desire to keep the fragile peace from erupting into a new chaos.

These are all some of the things the Dai Li has done to this RPC. They are acting as bullies. Let’s end bullying.
Encouraging people to block others is bullying.
Making up false claims, aka, spreading rumours about people is bullying.
Sending people threats to their inbox is bullying.
Reblogging people’s posts you don’t like calling them horrid names is bullying.
Making a blog targeted at one specific person you don’t like and mocking their username is bullying.
Using racist language to mock someone you don’t like is racism and bullying.
Manipulating someone by making a blog to gain their trust only to go into their server and collect screenshots is bullying.
Posting a list of people to block on your page is bullying.
Posting people’s private conversations that you acquired through violation and deception on your own blog to smear them because all they did was privately gossip about the things you did to them is bullying.
Reblogging posts guilting people to go along with their smear campaign and narrative warped callout is bullying.
Making people feel so intimidated by your callout posts is bullying.
Attaching disgusting labels that are untrue onto users who do something that you personally do not like is bullying.
Repeatedly telling someone to “delete”, “delete yourself”, “delete your blog”, or some variant is bullying.
Telling someone that they are responsible for someone’s self-harm or potentially worse is death baiting and bullying.
Allowing these actions to run rampant in a community you are a part of is being complicit in bullying.
Stand up against the Dai Li now.
Reblog this post if you are done with being afraid of the Dai Li. They are once again messaging new users. They are still bullying. It’s time to make this stop. I know my username is attached to drama, but I implore all of you to please at least like this post if you stand against this bullying. Enough is enough.
End Dai Li bullying.

To support other roleplayers in their creative endeavors.
To encourage the promotion of positivity and to stand with one another in support and care when faced with adversity.
