A discussion with his mun

[fromashestheyrise]

Why so surprised that I would be the one to pick up of all those in my world. Considering those I have seen in this space you keep the others, I believe it's appropriate.

I will even allow the name you picked. It's suitable.

I see.

[ Nothing wrong with having a calm life in a tea shop! But Iroh's all about second chances. Even though Ozai receiving one is a little iffy. ]

I'm sure you're more than capable of finding someplace to go on your own. However, if you'd like advice....

[ He knows he's the last person Ozai would come to for advice, but. ]

[fromashestheyrise]

You? Giving me advice? This should be interesting.

[So unlikely to listen to advice from his foolish tea loving brother but...very well. Entertain him.]

[fromthebreath]

[ His advice is freeeeeeee. ]

I assume you'd want to be some place without any of your family members present.

[ Except maybe Azula. Ozai likes her. Most of the time. When she doesn't lie to him. ]

[fromashestheyrise]

Oh? And what makes you think that?

[fromthebreath]

Am I wrong?

[ He kind of hopes he is. Maybe his brother's changed. Maybe. ]

It isn't like you go around declaring declarations of love for them. Or do anything kind for them at all.

[fromashestheyrise]

[Oh but they all have their uses if he moves them about the board correctly.]

I see that you still haven't gotten past your visions of love, Iroh. It's unfortunate.

[fromthebreath]

Perhaps not. But let me ask you something, Ozai: are you happy?

[fromashestheyrise]

[Forgive him but he must laugh now.]

You never fail to amuse me with your pious ideals, brother.

[fromthebreath]

[ Well, he certainly has his answer now, so he won't press the matter any further. ]

As I can see you've taken an interest in the girl here with long blonde hair, I can inform you that she is in a place called gargleblasted, along with Prince Zuko and several others from our world. But I'm not sure if it's your cup of tea, Brother.

[ Yes. He made that pun and he's stickin' to it. ]

[fromashestheyrise]

So I've heard from the Avatar already.

[fromthebreath]

And? Azula isn't there, you know. Admiral Zhao will be there soon, though.

[fromashestheyrise]

Why, Iroh. Do you want me to go there?

[fromthebreath]

I would like you to go where you and the others would be happiest.

[ Still going on about that, too, apparently. ]

It is my mun who insists with such intensity that you pick that game if you do go somewhere. She hasn't decided to place me anywhere yet, but she does play my nephew—your son—there.

[fromashestheyrise]

And yet it is you who appears before me rather than my son. An interesting choice.

[fromthebreath]

She thought that the two of us didn't interact enough and that this would "fix" that.

[ Rather, they didn't talk to each other at all. ]

But she is looking to place me somewhere, so perhaps, if fortune is smiling upon us, we may end up at the same place down the road.

[fromashestheyrise]

What fortunes would these be, Iroh? I believe we see the fates differently if you can believe them to smile upon you.

[fromthebreath]

We have our differences and we will never see things eye to eye. However, despite all that, you are still my brother. Perhaps if we spent time together, you'd have an opportunity to rub off on me.

[ And by that he means he wants to rub off on Ozai. Even just a bit to soften his little brother up. ]

Your mind has not aged well. It seems you have become delusional as the years pass.
