The campsite they eventually pick is in the middle of a large, dead plain, nothing obscuring vision in any direction for hundreds of yards. It might have been a farm once; it's all dead now.

They're all exhausted. It was dark when they'd camped the first time; it's close to midnight by the time the two cars pull off the road and into this field, and it's raining - cold, thick, heavy rain that blows any hope they might have had of making a fire.

Thank everything for Toph.

Steph leaves Mel with the babies and crawls into the rock tent she and Sokka share, rubbing her forehead anxiously. She's tired and she's worried and she wants to know what happened, exactly - but she just wants to lie still and not move for a little bit, too.

Hana is carried to the tent without much fuss from the sleepy toddler. Loo, however, starts crying very soon after she wakes, and won't stop, demanding to be held by her Mommy.

Mel takes a few minutes to make sure everyone's OK, giving a few more orders than she would usually, then retreats into her tent with Louise still in her arms.

It's nearly an hour before the crying from that tent dies out completely.
