Log;

Suki was probably one of Katara's favorite people. Partially because, c'mon, Suki was smart, polite, could kick the ass of a man twice her size--Katara imagined, anyway--and above all, Suki actually seemed like a girl. When one traveled for extended periods of time on the back of a giant bison with three--Toph included--boys who were more interested in goofing off in the dirt than keeping tidy and helping out with the chores, a girl like Suki was a much-needed breather. Sadly enough, though, fighting the war, particularly after Suki had just managed to rejoin their group, kept anyone from relaxing. Being able to have a day off to relax and actually enjoy chores like cooking, grocery shopping, it was practically unheard of.

So now that they were in the City, and now that Katara better knew the nature of Suki and Sokka's relationship, Katara simply figured, why not have a little girl-to-girl bonding time?

Hopefully Suki would enjoy it, anyway.

Katara knocked gently on the door to Suki's room, hoping that she wasn't interrupting anything important.

"Hey, Suki? You there?"

Even if there were a lot of other girls that didn't know how to cook, that didn't make Suki feel any better. Being recognized as a warrior was what she trained so hard and so long for, but sometimes, she wanted to be recognized as a female too. And in her eyes, cooking was one of those qualities, as chauvinistic as that thought was.

"I do want to learn and I have tried," she replied, "But a burnt kitchen isn't quite delicious as you might think it is. We just spent so much time in training, there was barely enough time to eat food, much less learn how to cook it."
