Possibly going to adstringendum, maybe

[fatherlord]

Yes 'Mundane', this place does seem promising, but give it some thought before starting on an application.

Even so, I am curious as to what has become of my children. Are they doing their father proud? Their nation?

[fatherlord]

And what did 'Fire Lord' Zuko do?

[spats]

[ Stop sassin' his firebro's title, Ozai. >:( Gosh. ]

He and the Avatar built Republic City for all the other nations to share.

[fatherlord]

So he protected his people's rights, as I told him to do.

Even if he did it in a way I would expect of him.

[spats]

... Why are you so hard on him if he's your son?

[fatherlord]

Because ever since he was a little boy he's been nothing but a disappointment. He brought dishonor on himself, and on me.

[spats]

Zuko's one of the most honourable people I know.

[fatherlord]

Then perhaps you should ask him how he got his scar.

[spats]

I don't need to pry into his private life to know that Zuko is a great friend.

[fatherlord]

If he's the Fire Lord then his duty to his nation comes before any friendship.

[spats]

I don't presume to know what a Fire Lord should or shouldn't do. All I'm sure of is he's someone the rest of us respect.

[fatherlord]

And who are "the rest of you"?

[spats]

Not exactly sure I should be giving you a list of names.

[fatherlord]

Why not? Do you fear me?

[spats]

I'm not taking any chances.

[fatherlord]

I'll take that as a yes. At least you have some sense.

[spats]

Yeah, thanks.

[fatherlord]

Though not enough to get on your knees. I may not be the Fire Lord of your time, but I am still a Fire Lord, and I expect you to show your respect.

[spats]

You'll have to do better than that to get me on my knees.

[fatherlord]

Do you really wish to go down this road? Look what it did to your precious Fire Lord.

[spats]

We'll find out if you arrive in the ruined city.

[fatherlord]

Yes, we will.
