attempt number twenty-one ♻ (voice)

Travel tip: if any of you have plans to head the way of the Fire Nation, I suggest brushing up on your … I don't even know. What this is, Japanese? Chinese? The books are all in Chinese. I don't know if this elaborate blob of ink is supposed to mean elephant, oak tree, or "simmer for fifteen minutes or until golden-brown."

[ There's a sigh, followed by a thumping noise as she tosses the book aside. ] I guess I should be focusing on catching up on my own books, anyway. I've got like a million chapters of Spanish to catch up on, and Nietzche doesn't read itself.

Oh, and also? Don't let seasons fool you. It's always warm here. I swear, it's like fifty degrees warmer here than it was in Washington. Which, don't get me wrong, is a good thing. Awesome, even. [ Of course, that might have something to do with the volcano that the castle is on. Which is ... a tiny fact she hasn't picked up on. ]

What's so creepy about that? They're just clothes. I borrow my friends' clothes all the time. [ or at least, she would, if she had any friends. claire has a hard real life, okay. :( she did with jackie that's ... her yardstick. just because you'd feel awkward checking claire out in your sister's clothes, god, zuko. (unsure) ]

I guess that makes sense ... [ :| big brother. ]

Yeah, but they're... I don't know, it seems weird! I wouldn't do that to you! [he would feel extremely awkward, okay? he feels totally differently about Claire and Azula, and never the twain shall meet]

...I'll teach you the language if you want, but there's about forty thousand characters to learn. I don't know if you want to put that kind of effort into it if you already have school work.

Well ... thanks, but the dramatics could go down a notch. They're clothes, not Chinese water torture.

Zuko! When I asked if you if you always read the rest of the comments, it was a hint not to! [ facepalm. oh, you. ] But ... yeah, that would be cool. I've got plenty of time for the school work, besides, this isn't work. I think it'd be fun.

Fine, we can just drop it. Anyway, you know how it works now, so we should go.

I thought we established that it was fine and understandable! Can't you make up your mind?! If you want to learn, I'll try to teach you, just don't complain if it ends up being boring and annoying. I always hated character practice as a kid.

In some cases! It's fine and understandable in some cases. Me talking about you to my friends is a little less fine.

Anyway. If you're willing to take the time to teach me, I'm not going to complain about it. That'd be pretty ungracious. [ ... yeah she'll be bitching. ] Especially considering you're going to take me to the beach. When can we do that? Today? Tomorrow? This weekend?

I'll just try to stay out of your threads from now on, how about that? [Girls are confusing. Though he probably won't be able to resist reading some of the things she says; he's not failure proof, that's for sure.]

I don't think graciousness has a lot to do with practicing stroke order. [He's totally expecting the bitching.] How about the day after tomorrow? I have to give them some time to get things ready. Or maybe we could sneak out and go by ourselves... that's probably too irresponsible.

Thank you.

There's no such thing as too irresponsible. We're doing it. Besides, you're the master of sneaking out, I bet no one will even notice we're gone.

They'll notice, I'll just leave a note. They can deal without me for one day.

Day after tomorrow, then? It'll give us time to pack.

And it gives me time to make us lunch or something. Sounds good to me. [ 8) she's so pleased with being ... an awful influence on him. ] You know, I'm kind of impressed. I never expected you to be so spontaneous.

Hah, me being spontaneous is usually what lands me in trouble. But somehow I think one trip to the beach won't be all that dramatic.

[ She considers this for a moment and ... well, it's pretty accurate. Her trouble magnet life is pretty inextricably tied to her spontaneity. Oh well. ]

Seriously, I mean, what's the worst that could happen? It's a day at the beach, not some super secret James Bond mission rip-off. Even though I'm pretty sure you could pull one of those off pretty spontaneously and get away with it, too.

I'll pretend I know what means. Is there really no one in your world that's capable of a little stealth? Yeah, I'm good at it, but I'm not the only one. Sokka isn't bad, for example.

I guess there are a few people. My dad. Peter when he could turn invisible. ... Sylar's not bad at it, but I guess it'd be pretty hard to suck at sneaking around with that many abilities at your disposal.

I'll try to show you how this time so you can stop being that amazed by it. No invisibility required.

Seriously? Zuko, that would be amazing.

You won't get a better opportunity. If we get caught, it'll be by my guards, so...

Hey, have a little faith. I won't get caught. Not when I have a teacher like you.

We'll see. As long as you don't use this skill for any good deeds later on, that's all I ask.

[See, he does have a sense of humor. Really.]

Don't worry, I'll be sure and use whatever skills you teach me for nefarious purposes only. [ On occasion it has been known to rear its head. But laughing is ~different~ ] Maybe while we're there you could show me some of your firebending, too.

Not to teach, obviously, just ... I want to see it. If that's okay with you, I mean.

I don't mind. I try to keep up practice with it, anyway. I can't afford to get rusty.

...Your mother used fire, right?

[ her tone softens a lot. ]

Yeah, she did. [ it also happened to be what killed her. ] You know, you'd think after nearly a year I'd be over it. Move on with my life and stop thinking about it. But, I barely knew her.

A year isn't that long. Sometimes knowing less makes it harder to forget.

It was Sylar's fault, you know. He did it to her.

...That's why you can't forgive him?

One of many reasons. Things between me and Sylar aren't that simple.
