Canon-review almost completed, definitely looking!
You've made up your mind, I see. If it gets me somewhere, then fine.
But keep in mind that I'm not doing to stand for any of your ideas of 'sweetness'. If you can't wrap your head around that, then you are even more unsuited to handle me than originally thought. Bribing me with chai tea is a silly idea, by the way. Advice in return for a bit of enjoyment in lonely prison days is one thing, behavioral changes are another.
So then, I am awaiting concrete decisions, little girl.
Don't disappoint me.

[ He'd like to know whether or not he should be concerned. But there's only four and a half hours to get an application in, anyway. ]
no subject
[Oh, Zuko, it's your father, you should always be concerned, haven't you learned?]
no subject
It's none of your business why.
[ He could lie (badly) and say that from where he's standing, Ozai is just a prisoner. A prisoner who's just... very good at manipulating people even from inside his prison cell. ]
no subject
[Some teachers somewhere in the palace have done horribly wrong, because that's not a level of elocution appropriate for a member of the royal family, really. Let alone a so-called 'fire lord'.
Even though Ozai is a prisoner, that doesn't mean he'll stop being condescending towards this failure of a son, as good as a father he is.]
no subject
[ But he's very aware that just because that's how it's "supposed" to be doesn't mean that's how it actually is. Zuko's learned that the hard way. More than once. ]
no subject
[Even if before the time of Sozin's comet Ozai would have liked to erase Zuko from his bloodline forever, now that things have change he is going to make very sure Zuko never forgets who is his past and possibly his future.]
no subject
[ He'd like to think of their relationship as permanently terminated. Unfortunately, he can think it all he wants. If it really was, he'd stay away from Ozai. ]
no subject
[It annoys Ozai to see how deep Iroh and the Avatar had influenced Zuko with this idealistic and weak mindset, but he doesn't let it show through.]
no subject
I've seen real families. Families who eat dinner together and talk about things unrelated to warfare; families who settle their disputes without Agni Kais.
That bond isn't anything like our own. You can't call the two of us family. We're not anything resembling a father and son.
no subject
So then, why are you still here?
[He'd wanted Zuko to be his son, once. A perfect prince. A true heir. A son to be proud of. Zuko had disappointed every single of his expectations.]
no subject
[ Or rather, he's not satisfied with the answer. But it'd be closer to the truth to say that Ozai already kicked him out of his prison cell once before—Zuko wasn't going to let him kick him out of -this- place. ]
And yeah. I know. You're not going to tell me any more than that.
no subject
[And good reasons are something Zuko is really bad at coming up with, in Ozai's opinion.]
no subject
[ Ozai's definitely not alone in holding that opinion. ]
no subject
You might wear the crown, but you're millions of miles away from being a true Fire Lord.
no subject
You're not entirely wrong. I don't have much experience yet, but I will put the Fire Nation back on the right track. Even if you disagree with my vision of it.
no subject
((ooc: ... would it be a bad idea to try and marathon an app in the remaining 2 1/2 hours?))
no subject
[ From that tiny little window in his prison cell. But it's okay—Zuko will probably visit Ozai in prison again and tell him all the "wonderful" news. ]
[ ooc: Yoooou have no idea how awesome that would be if you could make the deadline! ]
no subject
[Maybe that's actually preferable to having to actually live in the poor shadow of Ozai's Fire Nation that Zuko will create with his ruling.]
((ooc: I'm actually writing already, I think I might make it. If the quality will be enough to make it through is another question, seeing it is past 3am in my timezone. But well, what is coffee for.))
