there's a fog upon L.A.

Characters: Zuko (innerfirewithin) and Akira Inugami (not_a_damn_dog)
When: Early morning.
Where: Outskirts of the city, the fringes of the Wastes.
Rating: PG-13, just to be safe.
Summary: Zuko is in a bad mood. Zuko asked Adstringendum who wanted to spar with him. Akira volunteered. Zuko cannot believe his luck. Things do not go exactly as Prince Zuko plans.

Zuko was tired.

He had set out for the fringes of the Wastes bright and early, as Akira instructed (the nerve, an instruction!), ignoring the stabs of sleep that were beckoning him back to bed. He hadn't slept well the night before last, and last night, it was damn near impossible, but as the sun shone steadily in the sky, he felt invigorated, as if the sun itself were pouring its energy into him.

Which, to be fair, it was.

He sat upon a rock, relishing the warmth, and closed his eyes to focus his energies. A brief meditative period before Akira showed up would do him some good, to steady his nerves, and to focus.

He was not letting the werewolf win this fight. Over his dead body.
