Don't you even think about it. You have more important things you need to be worrying about right now.

It's not going to happen; I won't go there. You can't make me.

I'm pretty sure you don't get much choice in the end.

[scalded]

Mai, I...

[ what's he supposed to say to her? their last 'reunion' hadn't been the best. ]

I heard you were taken there.

[maipokerface]

That's a nicer way of putting it.

[scalded]

How would you put it, then?

[maipokerface]

You're pulled out of your world completely alone, given a pamphlet on 'You and Dystopia" and told you're now part of a war you didn't even get the chance to be born into this time. And that's when things are going well. You know, when you're not stuck with hordes of whatever these things are in this base.

Taken is a little mild to describe that.

[scalded]

These things? What kind of things are you talking about?

You uh- you haven't been hurt, have you?

[monseoc]

They can, in fact, make us do most anything they wish.

[ what an interesting burn you have there, young man. ]

[scalded]

Worst part of all of this is that I know.

It's not her first time forcing me somewhere I don't want to go.

[monseoc]

Oh? [ a gesture to his left eye. ] Is that when this happened?

[scalded]

That has nothing to do with this place.

[monseoc]

[ hm. ]

Well, that's good to know. I've heard of such things happening in some of these.. games.

[likeapro]

Good luck. I've been telling my mun the same thing about sending me somewhere, but she hasn't been listening.

[scalded]

They never do. It's like they're all hard of hearing. We're better off talking to a wall.

[likeapro]

They aren't the only ones. [CoughKorracough.] Why don't you want to go the place your mun wants to send you to?

[scalded]

I've been there before. Everything's changed.

[likeapro]

My mun's eyed that place before. Her big hangup seems to be how fast it is.

[saekos]

"You can't make me", mm?

[ Sounds like a child to her. ]

[scalded]

What?

[saekos]

Can't you think of anything better to say?

[scalded]

What else is there to say? [ tch. ] Like she's going to listen to anything I have to say.

[saekos]

I'm not saying you have to accept it, but you could be a bit more... graceful about it.

[hotleafjuice]

Try to relax, Prince Zuko. Fussing this way won't do either of you any good.

[scalded]

[;kljkhjhfgdpou]

... Uncle.

[a pause.]

Uncle, it's been a while.

[hotleafjuice]

I suppose it has, but you still haven't learned not to waste your worries on what cannot be changed. We'll have to work on that.

The banished prince. Or do you go by "Fire Lord" now?
