The winner's prize

In response to Shui's question, Alix stared at her quietly, her gaze contemplating something mysteriously.

"I don't know. She is still searching for it."

There was a beat of silence which Ailun broke when he tugged her dress.

"Don't worry, pastry aunt! I will help her find what she has lost," he nodded with all earnesty.

Jin smiled and ruffled his head. "Really?"

He nodded. "Pastry aunt helped Ruwen and me at the party. So this time, I will help pastry aunt!"

Shui chuckled. "It's Aunt Alix, silly."

"Pastry aunt sounds more fun," he sheepishly grinned. "Right, pastry aunt?"

Alix peered into his bright caramel eyes and bent closer. "She has been trying to find it for a long time, you know?"

He nodded. "I will help her."

His gaze looked determined and unwavering.

Alix let out a smile. "I see."

Aang, Mina and Taio burst out with excitement at the same time. "Me too! Me too!"
