On being sent back to lastvoyages

[restoringhonor]

You're ridiculous. Is anyone I know even there anymore?

Vanessa's gone.

[restoringhonor]

I know. That's why I left.

[darknessb4me]

So why are you coming back?

[waterbends]

Tough situation.

[restoringhonor]

Yeah. I mean, my uncle's still there, but it's been four months. And I left for a reason.

[waterbends]

Well, then -- I'm sorry that you have to go back.

[restoringhonor]

It's fine. [Don't mind him, Katara, he'll just sulk about it in private.]

... How are you?

[waterbends]

[She gets the feeling he does that a lot. :T]

I'm good. Things are.. complicated, but better.

[restoringhonor]

[WHO TOLD YOU I mean. :U]

That's... good. Why are they complicated?

[waterbends]

[POSSIBLY SHE HAS JUST MET YOU BEFORE.]

I've been in Adstring for a year and a half, Zuko. Time always complicates things.

[restoringhonor]

[NO MY PAIN IS A SECRET ;;]

Who's there with you?

[waterbends]

You, and Jet, Mai, Sokka, Suki. Your sister, who killed Jet a few weeks ago.

[restoringhonor]

That's... [Awkward, unfortunate, making him feel more guilty about not getting Vanessa off the Barge.] I'm sorry.

[waterbends]

It's not your fault, but you did pull some big stupid stunt about how you're going to 'keep us safe' from her, so you moved out and won't tell us where you're living and blah blah blah.

[She fixes him with a vaguely cranky expression.]

Do you see how it's complicated?

[restoringhonor]

[... Yeah that sounds like exactly what he would have done. :V]

Yeah. Sorry.

[waterbends]

Blah blah blah.

[She's used to it, aaaand she smiles.]

Sorry to talk your head off.

[firesnaps]

And here I thought you'd be thrilled for the chance to be reunited with Uncle Fatso.

[gainedacoupon]

C'mon Lee. It won't be that bad to be in a game, right?
