Impulsive journal-making - so rational

[scarred_past]

Yes. Because there aren't already hundreds of me running around this world. You just felt compelled to add another. Besides, it's not like you have any real plans for me. You just started feeling nostalgic re-watching the original series.

And stop saying that playing me is a lot like playing Korra - it's not true! [Even if it sort of is] We're two different people! Korra is the Avatar. Her destiny is greater than my own. How could you compare us? We're not even on the same level - nowhere even close.

Leave me be. I have work to do. Training Aang is all that matters to me right now. You can go have your pretendy fun times with someone else.

There can never be enough of you, Sifu Hotman! I'm glad you're that concerned about my training. I always knew you cared!

[scarred_past]

[Grinding. Of. Teeth.]

I told you not to call me that.

[savedtheworld]

Aw c'mon! The title's just part of your noble heritage!

[scarred_past]

Do you have any idea the last time 'hotman' was commonly used?

[Oh, Aang. Zuko is annoyed but it's out of his general grumpiness and not because of you specifically.]

[savedtheworld]

[Oh Aang's familiar enough with the firebender's grumpy streaks.]

It was a hundred years ago or less!

[scarred_past]

[Ugh. How embarrassing.]

The 'or less' bit is a nice touch.

[Zuko - firebender and sarcasm-bender]

[savedtheworld]

[While Aang sometimes has trouble telling the difference between sarcasm and an actual compliment.]

Thanks! I thought it up by myself. But hey, even if people don't say it anymore, you can always help me bring up back, along with all those cool Fire Nation dances I remember!

I love these two so much xD

[scarred_past]

[How is it possible that these two are sort of related again?]

Right. We'll get right on that after you help us defeat my father. That reminds me -

[ACCUSATORY FINGER POINTING ACTIVATE!]

have you been practicing?!

haha yes agreed, a classic duo

[savedtheworld]

[Oh good he's really open to it- oh god not the accustory finger pointing.]

Y-yeah, I've been practicing a little! I mean a lot! A... a little of a lot! ...Make that a lot of a little!

Re: haha yes agreed, a classic duo

[scarred_past]

Good. So you're ready for a test.

[He takes his stance but has no real intention of fighting.]

[savedtheworld]

Y-yeah. Ready. Right. [He hesitantly tries to enter the stance, but then he rubs his head.] Wow! What do you know? I'm totally wearing the wrong socks for this! Guess it'll have to wait. [Nervous laughter.]

[scarred_past]

[Zuko rolls his eyes before standing up normal again.]

I figured as much. How are you going to save the world if you lack commitment to your training? Fire isn't like water. Fire will chew you up and spit you out! You need to give it the time and attention it deserves.

[savedtheworld]

I will, I will. I promise. [He looks down in a brief moment of remorse, thinking back to the first time he wouldn't commit himself to firebending, and how it was Katara's hands that temporarily paid the price.] I just need... a little more time, to give it a little more attention.

See icon keywords xD

[scarred_past]

In case you haven't realized it - you don't have time to take breaks.

[Dealing with a kid - UGH!]

lmao perfect

[savedtheworld]

Not even a little?

Hehehe

[scarred_past]

[GRRRRRRRRRRR]

Fine! Take breaks! See if I care!

[savedtheworld]

It's not like breaks are that bad! I bet you'd be a good airbender if you took more breaks!

[scarred_past]

[STARE]

Right. I'm sure I would be the picture of the perfect Airbender... you know, if I wasn't the grandson of the man who nearly annihilated your entire people. So close.

[savedtheworld]

[That hit a little too close to home. Aang's just going to be quiet for now.]

[inflecto]

It's okay, I came here because of an impulsive mun too, but that doesn't make your role any less important.

Without you, Aang won't ever master firebending. That makes you pretty vital, you know.

[scarred_past]

[Oh! Katara!

Zuko gives her a little wave.]

Exactly. And that is why this woman should not be taking me away from that important task.

[inflecto]

Well if she won't let you get back to your work, then we're just going to have to bring your work here.

[ Have a firm nod at that, she's nothing if not determined. ]

In the mean time, this place isn't so bad.

[scarred_past]

[He crosses his arms, annoyed.]

If I am to train Aang here then he needs to be more dedicated.

[He points up the post where Aang has admitted to not practicing as he should.]

I suppose it's not. I'm getting to talk to a lot of people. That's not so bad.

[inflecto]

[ That earns an unimpressed sigh, and she touches her forehead briefly as she shakes her head. ]

There's a lot more distractions here. But that's no excuse...I can speak to him, if you'd like.

[ She smiles, it's good to hear that he's out talking to people. ] There, see? It's not all bad. I quite like it here, actually. All I need to do is find a nice home to settle into and it'll be great.

[scarred_past]

[The Price rubs his forehead as well before answering.]

Unless you want to live under my father's rule - I think you should.

[He shrugs like it's no big deal.]

It's okay.

[antiequalist]

I can't say I agree with your Mun any more than you do.

Although somehow mine seems to think it's really funny.

[scarred_past]

[He favors the young Avatar with a small bow before speaking.]

I fail to see the similarities and she's been too busy cackling to give me a proper answer.

[antiequalist]

[ Korra smiles and gives a bow in return. ]

Yours does that too? Must be a popular thing amongst Muns.

[scarred_past]

Huh. And I just thought mine was weird. Nice to know I have company in my confusion.

[antiequalist]

You'd be surprised how many of them are alike.

So has your Mun thought of sending you anywhere now that you're out here?

[scarred_past]

I guess.

Not really. She didn't give the decision much thought before throwing me out here.

[antiequalist]

Woaw....

And I thought my Mun was bad.

So wait...She's just letting you wander out here?

[scarred_past]

Pretty much. I told you - she's impossible.

[antiequalist]

Somehow from all I've heard, you don't strike me as the type to let that stop you.

[wanhedas]

I'd say becoming Lord of the Fire Nation is a pretty important destiny, Zuko.
