Challenge: Zuko & Toph, in a dark room, talking Zutara.

Interrogation

"Oh please, Sunshine, you've never thought about it at all?"

"I don't see why you care about this so much."

"Because you haven't answered my question."

Toph and Zuko, enemies by blood and friends by nature, sat shoulder to shoulder against a wooden door, waiting. Their arms were filled with loot: maps, small weapons, money, food. They sad with their plundered goods resting across bent knees, ready to spring into action at the slightest sound of pursuit.

There were no lights, and there would be no people for hours, and Toph was the kind of person who'd rather interrogate someone than have a nap. She was quite indiscreetly poking Zuko with her elbow, making it impossible for him to nap, either.

"You know, it's been so long, I've forgotten what you asked."

"Sure... I know when you're lying, and I know when you're awake, Zuko."

"Ask me again."

"Have you ever thought about Katara that way?"

"What way?"

"Like you like her, that kind of way."

"Yes. I like Katara."

"But do you like like her?"

"I'm sorry, Toph, but you're going to have to be clearer."

"You're trying to be dense, Sunshine. It doesn't work on me."

"And if you don't say what you mean, you won't get a real answer."

"Okay, smart boy," Toph growled in the dark. She said in a loud stage whisper, "Do you want to fuck Katara?"

"Shit, Toph!" Zuko jerked half-way to his knees and banged his head on the solid oak behind him. "How do you even know that word?"

Toph laughed, gleeful at his reaction. "I'm the Blind Bandit, champion of the Earth Rumble. You think I haven't heard even worse?"

"You're twelve." Scowling under the cover of darkness, Zuko settled back against the door, nursing his skull. "Happy now that you've had your fun?"

"No. You didn't answer the question."

"You may be jaded and mature for a twelve year old girl, but I'm not, so we're not having this conversation."

"Okay, fine," Toph gave up. Mostly. "I'll just be paying real close attention when we get to the rendezvous point."

"Is that so?"

"Oh yeah. Because if you weren't thinking about it then, you will be when you see her next, and then I'll have my answer anyway."

"Toph?"

"Yeah?"

"Fuck you."

Toph just giggled, and poked him again with her elbow. "If you don't like it, Sunshine, don't say it."

"I don't believe this."

"I haven't even started making you miserable yet."

"You're a pox on sanity."

"And to think, we could be here for hours. "
