You might be excited that people from this new "canon" are becoming "appable", but either through ignorance or selfishness, you aren't thinking about how I could be affected. I don't need reminders of what became of my country after I left. I'm well aware of the damage Fire Lord Zuko must have done.

If you don't want me to go back and fix things, stop thinking things that could be construed as trying to guilt me into it. This will be your only warning.

Zuko is someone to be proud of. Just because you crave your father's approval doesn't make him right.

My father is dead, and I haven't needed his approval in years.b

Zuko is-- and likely always will be-- a failure and a coward.

So subjugation, murder and manipulation is courageous?

You're the true coward because you act on primal instinct. Kill and suppress everything you don't like. Instead of trying to do what makes humans great, diplomacy.

They're a means to an end.

I hardly kill everything I don't like. I wonder, have you learned about me through propaganda?

I learned about you through observation actually. The Firenation you want certainly mistreats other benders and other nations.

Also have you ever heard of the phrase "The end does not justify the means"?

Our ultimate goals would have benefited them as well. They were just too short-sighted to see it.

I've heard it. I disagree.

How does being ruled by people who believe you are less than them a benefit?

Being under one flag doesn't automatically end conflict.

That's an extremely simplified view of our mindset.

You're not telling me anything that I don't already know.

Fine, you tell me what you think of the waterbending tribes.

Do you really care what I think?

Sure, if your ideas aren't as simplistic as I've come to believe than I want to be able to apologize to you.

I don't need your apologies.

But do you want my apology?

Not particularly.

Besides, the part of my life that you're talking about is behind me now.

Never hurts to have your values questioned and it's still very clear you haven't learned your lesson about war.

Have you ever fought a war?

My government tried to force myself and my friends to be in a war. To become weapons for them and be their little science experiments.

So because of one experience, you're bitter about all wars, everywhere.

These mundanes, all they do is get us into trouble.

It certainly seems to be the biggest draw to this hobby of theirs.

At least you're past the part where it's canon helping wreck things.

[...he's talking to Azula. omg]

Very true. For all the harm my player has done to me, I'm at least grateful that she allowed that to be thrown off the rails a long time ago.

You had history derail around you? Can I ask where?

When I was fourteen. It's difficult to be a member of a multidimensional community and not have history changed.

My mundane has someone there, and he's had interesting things to say about it.

[asa;lkj; even if Kefka freaks him out.]

You've been pretty busy since then.

I have. Extremely so.
