Chapter 12: Airwing's Story

The hunting group returned to The Bending Tower. Students were practicing in the yard - Airbenders, Waterbenders, and Earthbenders.
Stone and Airia were eating together, deep in conversation. Ash avoided them, and put a shrew on the prey-pile.
"Give the rabbit to Airwing," Ice ordered, "and put your mouse in the prey room. With white-earth on the way, we need lots of prey."
"White-earth?" Ash mumbled through his prey.
"When it snows," Ice explained.
Ash nodded and exited the yard. He recalled Galmega's tour of The Bending Tower.
Speaking of Galmega, Ash thought, I think I'll visit him today.
He went to the prey room and put his mouse in the large pile. He exited the room, and then went to the Elders' Room.
Surprisingly, Tiggerkat was in the den.
"Tiggerkat? What are you doing here?" Ash asked, dropping his rabbit.
"She's missing Reese Cups," Airwing smiled weakly. "So I decided to explain to her why there are no Reese Cups here."
"Go on, Airwing! So what did everyone do after the Firebenders took every candy?" Tiggerkat prompted.
Airwing shot Ash a look that said, "I'm making this up as I go along".
Ash nodded.
"So after that, The Bending Tower sent their bravest warriors to go and retrieve the candy and to tell the Firebenders never to return..." Airwing continued.
Ash listened for a bit. He's a good story teller.
"Here, Airwing, I brought you some prey," Ash nudged the rabbit towards him after a while of listening to Airwing's fake story.
"Thank you," Airwing grabbed the rabbit and ate on it.
Ash left the room and went to the yard again.

Author's Note:
So Tiggerkat still isn't pleased about the lack of Reese Cups. Looks like Airwing is trying to explain, huh? I wonder if any Bender ever heard of Reese Cups at all. XD
