nostalgia hits.

[pinker]

Hi, there! Wow, this is so exciting — we're totally going to have the best time ever, you'll see! I know we're a great match because our auras are in sync! Pink never fails to compliment itself and the good luck's only just beginning! Speaking of, um. What with the new show and all, aren't there any more cute boys around? Sokka's sweet, but I would never dream of coming between him and Suki. They are so keepers!

There has got to be one guy out there who isn't a complete weirdo. Who's this Bolin you find so funny? Oh, and what's probending?

Oops, heh. I guess I need to calm down a little.

I think it's fine for you to be excited, Lady Ty Lee. We would worry otherwise.

[Still so weird for him to see his favorite baby sitter so young.]

[pinker]

Lady, huh?

[ Trying to place those golden eyes ... hmm. But, in the meanwhile. ]

You've got some lovely manners, I can't remember the last time anyone was so formal with me.

[irohdisboat]

It's the way one expects a man of my station to behave. At least that's what my tutors always told me.

Not that I always do what I'm told. If it bothers you, I can stop.

[He gives her a polite bow even with that little smirk on his face.] I am General Iroh of the United Forces. A pleasure.

1/2

[pinker]

General Iroh?

[ Have a wrinkled nose. ]

You look a little too handsome to be Zuko's uncle, cutie. [ WAIT. ] What did you say about a united something-or-other?

[pinker]

[ Nope, hold on, she's getting there on her own. Like a boss. ]

Oh! This is totally a future thing, isn't it?

[irohdisboat]

[He laughs softly and nods. Totally ignoring being called "cutie" for now.]

Yes, Lady Ty Lee. I was named after the Iroh you know.

I often forget that some people aren't as up to speed as others. I am from the same time as Bolin, the young man you were speaking of.

[pinker]

This is so weird. But good! Are you related to Zuko and Azula?

[irohdisboat]

Ah. Straight to the point. [He coughs a little. Well since she asked, no harm in telling her.]

Zuko is my grandfather. My great aunt is, of course, Azula.

[pinker]

You do sort of sound like him, and it looks like everyone in the royal family gets to be super good-looking.

[sifu_hotman_zuzu]

You are so weird.

[pinker]

There's no need to be rude, Zuko. I don't think your aura could get any darker, but you should still be really careful.

[sifu_hotman_zuzu]

There's nothing wrong with my aura!

And even if it is 'dark', why should I care?

[pinker]

Because it's unhealthy!

[sifu_hotman_zuzu]

[He folds his arms across his chest, giving that Zuko frown.]

Right. "Bad skin".

[pinker]

You're the one bringing it up this time, not me.

[sifu_hotman_zuzu]

You were thinking it!

[pinker]

It's easy to forget you have that scar when we're your friends, Zuko.

[burnedbrighter]

How wonderful to see you have your priorities in order.

[pinker]

Hi, Azula. I'm just a little over-excited, is all.

[burnedbrighter]

Old habits I suppose.

...I'm glad for you. [And she looks confused that she said it, or possibly that she meant it.]

[pinker]

Really? I bet once all these cute guys pop up they'll be going for you, anyway.

[burnedbrighter]

*Sighs, a dull sardonic smile on her lips*

No no Ty Lee I don't think...well...there aren't that many who would want to spend time with me anymore.

[pinker]

Well, then they're silly and not worth our time. What kind of boy wouldn't look at you and fall head-over-heels in love? I'd question his intelligence, personally.

[burnedbrighter]

First...boys are always fools. You know that.

Second, I'm...sick. Very unwell. To bring others around me would be dangerous.

Enthusiasm can only make you better. Everyone needs a passion to truly live.
