[So, does someone stumbling about with a little girl on her shoulders count as photogenic?
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Self-defence training and, well, just the rigours of childcare had strengthened her notably. She had learned she could pick up Sophie pretty handily when needs be. Surely she could handle a piggyback ride.
That was a mistake, she decides, as she wobbles through the crowd. It's not that she lacks the strength. But Sophie is too excited to respond to any suggestion to not rock the boat, or rather, not rock the her. She keeps pointing out directions and leaning towards things that look interesting, causing Fenimore's balance to upset. It isn't enough to threaten to knock her over, but it is enoughto make her look terribly undignified. She begins to fantasize about this being Sophie's first and last piggyback in public.

Sokka had made it look so easy.]
