The girl stepped closer. “Name’s Roku. No relation to the Avatar. My mother was Fire Nation. She runs the noodle cart by the east gate. I’ve seen you at the well.”

Lian’s hands moved on autopilot, centering a fresh lump of clay on the wheel. Her mind, however, was stuck on the morning’s encounter.

She had been walking to the communal well when a boy her age, sharp-chinned and quick to sneer, had blocked her path. “You,” he’d said, loud enough for the noodle seller to hear. “Your father’s helmet is still on the memorial wall. The one with the flame. How do you sleep under the same roof as an ash-maker?”
