... Whoa.

[deformed]

That's none of your concern.

[fatherlord]

I'm told you come to me asking where she is. That makes it my concern.

[deformed]

Whether I learn anything has nothing to do with you. All I need from you is information.

[fatherlord]

And gaining information isn't learning?

[deformed]

You're twisting my words.

[fatherlord]

Be that as it may, my question still stands.

[deformed]

You can't turn this conversation into whatever you feel like just to be right about something unrelated.

[fatherlord]

I am not trying to turn this conversation into anything. All I did was ask a question. I expect an answer.

[deformed]

I don't have to answer you anymore. You're not the Fire Lord, if anything you should listen to me.

[fatherlord]

I'm not commanding you as the Fire Lord. I'm telling you as your father.

[deformed]

I haven't needed a father in years.

[fatherlord]

You do when you come to me for advice.

[deformed]

Because I want to find my mother!

[fatherlord]

And because you don't know as much about leading a nation as you might think.

[deformed]

[ ... Well, fuck. ]

[fatherlord]

Isn't it funny? Even while I'm clad in rags and behind bars, and even though you're the new Fire Lord and you pretend not to care about what I have to say, I still hold power over you?

Your tea making could use some work, by the way.

[deformed]

You could stand to give me more to think about other than obtusely nostalgic stories.

[fatherlord]

Would you rather I had let you drown?

The point of the story was to make you think.

[deformed]

You wouldn't have let me drown back then.

[ Back then. ]

Now you choose to get insightful? After scarring and humiliating me? It's a little late, but I suppose there isn't much else for you to do behind bars.

[fatherlord]

Those things were also done to make you think. I told you, I did them to teach you a lesson.

[deformed]

Can we avoid debating that yet again? You know how those conversations end.

[ With Zuko frustrated and Ozai fuming, mostly. ]

[fatherlord]

[Go to your room!]

[deformed]

[ THANKS FOR GLARING. ]
