She's irritable. What else is new?

[unexcitable]

[sigh] So just what are we doing anyway? I am selfless, cold, composed-- what? Why is that funny to you? I am also getting very bored very quickly. But I am not a person who tollerates boredom for long. So let's hurry up and start moving forward again.

You have until after this "free comic book day" or whatever.

I think so-- yes. I just think you didn't know how to express yourself properly. Remember our trip to the Island? You didn't say as much as we did. But I think you suffered from your parents as much as Zuko did.

You may be right...about all of it.

A shame I didn't realize it sooner.

Maybe you'll get another chance? Just-- just don't give up okay?

[burnedbrighter]

Another chance...

Risking his?

[she looks at her friend sharply] We may not have a choice. It's not like we can plan weekly visitation as though you're our step-child. Eventually I think we all will have to take a leap of faith or risk falling apart again.

Taking risks.

Another one of our hobbies.

[she quirks a small smile] Anything to keep the boredom away.

[Looks away because DAMNIT FEELINGS ARE HARD]

This is...nice. I've missed you.

...we should do this again.
