Voice testing because I have no impulse control

[soundsfamiliar]

I'd like to thank you for taking time to bring me here. It would be very interesting and informative to speak to grandfather and Avatar Aang, among others.

However, I'm not sure what kind of joke you're trying to make with my name.

Comments

exactly! this is not my fault at all.

[o_tea_p]

Zuko? [peers curiously] Is that you, nephew?

entirely your fault

[soundsfamiliar]

No, it's Iroh. Zuko's grandson.

[...he's used to the confusion.]

nope! it's your lack of impulse control!

[o_tea_p]

Little Iroh? You've grown up so much! The last time I saw you, I could hold you in my arms. I bet you don't even remember me.

[soundsfamiliar]

...Uncle Iroh?

[o_tea_p]

[BIG GRIN] It's good to see you, Nephew! Err...Great-Nephew.

[soundsfamiliar]

Great-great-nephew, if we're counting.

[o_tea_p]

Why count? Since my nephew is Fire Lord now, I'll just call you Nephew instead. Would you care for some tea?

[soundsfamiliar]

Of course.

[Who would ever turn down tea willingly?]

[o_tea_p]

[Your grandfather. THE FOOL.]

How do you feel about jasmine tea?

[If it's not your favorite, he's not related to you. :|]

[soundsfamiliar]

Jasmine tea would be excellent, thank you.

[o_tea_p]

I love my nephew very much, but he never appreciated my jasmine tea.

[He pours them both cups.]

I'm glad to see that you're wiser.

[soundsfamiliar]

I'm not sure if enjoying tea is a sign of wisdom or not, but I'll take the compliment.

[Tea <3]

[o_tea_p]

[as he pushes over the cup]

Tea is more than just a delicious drink. To truly appreciate tea, one must be knowledgable, mindful, and patient. These are qualities found in the wise.

[soundsfamiliar]

That's a line I need to remember next time my lieutenant makes a crack.

[o_tea_p]

You get teased for your love of tea?

[soundsfamiliar]

Apparently the amount I consume on a daily basis is slightly unnecessary.

[o_tea_p]

[Iroh laughs softly. He had always been well-loved by his troops, but none of them would have dared tease him. Only Zhao, after his fall from grace, and his teasing would have been mean-spirited.

Times really have changed.]

Obviously your crew needs to be taught better.

[soundsfamiliar]

I know my soldiers are loyal to me. I don't need to be reminded of that by having them treat me like I'm better than them.

[o_tea_p]

I meant about the importance of tea.

[soundsfamiliar]

I wasn't aware that was something to be included in training.

[o_tea_p]

You still have much to learn about being a leader.

[soundsfamiliar]

That is true. It's something I worry about often.

[o_tea_p]

So long as you do not let worry get in the way of learning.
