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.

Of course. You have never been one to give up; you only make yourself stronger. So it is natural that the name picked for you reflects that.

[fromashestheyrise]

[So it is his brother who makes an appearance.]

How nice that you can see that, Iroh.

[fromthebreath]

May I ask what you and your mun intend to do now? Surely you won't sit idly by and allow yourself to be forgotten.

[fromashestheyrise]

Of course not. Now it is just a matter of finding a place to go to. There are those of us that will not just sit still.

Unlike others.

[hairraisingly]

[Woah.. He is.. really intimidating to look at. Is this really Zuko's father? ]

Your name.. I'm sure your mun thought really hard to come up with such a unique name.

[fromthebreath]

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.]

[fromashestheyrise]

It was clever enough, I suppose. It obviously suits my purpose.

[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. ]

[hairraisingly]

The purpose of joining a fun game right? I'm sure lots of them would accept you.

[fromashestheyrise]

Oh? And what makes you think that?

[fromashestheyrise]

A fun game isn't quite what I had in mind.

[hairraisingly]

Oh right, that was silly of me to say. Mother wouldn't want to be in a silly game either. As an adult, you'd want something more refined and ... probably less noisy! Right?

[fromashestheyrise]

[How...childish. Still, he does give the slightest of smiles.]

That's right.

[hairraisingly]

[ What a nice smile. Someone like that couldn't possibly be evil or mean, right? Right??]

Then you'd probably hate where I am, just as much as Zuko does.

[fromashestheyrise]

[Young lady, you officially have his interest.]

Zuko, you say?

[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.

[hairraisingly]

[ She has this bad feeling that maybe she shouldn't have said that. ]

Yeah, Zuko! You're his father right? He's... there and stuff.

[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.

[fromashestheyrise]

Is he? And how does my son fare?

[Such a delicate topic this one is...]

[fromthebreath]

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

[100yearsgone]

So... you wouldn't happen to be from after the war would you?

[hairraisingly]

He fares well? Fare enough that I can see at least.

[fromashestheyrise]

Avatar. How nice of you to grace me with your presence.

[Translation: No such luck, Aang.]

[fromashestheyrise]

Does he? Then you must be a friend of his to be able to observe this.
