You know, you've got to take steps, and while Zuko doesn't heal as fast as say, his lover, he is healing well and rapidly. This does require, however, a fair bit of therapy, things instructed to him by the others

Ty Lee never did try to shoot things off Mai's head.
Or make HIM shoot things off Mai's head.
"I haven't seen you in ages! How are you? And," Ty Lee sits up, looks curiously at the crutches, and back up at Zuko. "What's with the crutches? Did you break something?"
He thinks on this, and then put it in very simple terms. "A very bad man took a hammer to my knees a couple months ago. But I'm getting better."
His hands on her shoulders feel smaller then they should, too. Less -- somehting. "How--how are you?" he asks as he sits up, and reaches for his crutches. "Did you just arrive? Did you see my sister? He'll want to see you..."
THere is the sudden thought of Agni Kai with a vampire. 'Grr Argh!' 'Snarl!' The first firekick, though, and they go up like tinder. Zuko help but chuckle. "That'd be an Agni Kai I'd be guarunteed to win, Ty Lee. It wouldn't be fair."
But uh what? Ran away...? "Uhm. Maybe if we ever get home, Ty Lee."
Ty Lee bounces up and down with glee. "It's so good to see you again, Zuko! When you take on the bad man who broke your knees, I'll totally come and watch."
"Alright. I'm pretty much in charge around here, though that'll be changing a little--we're trying to get a better government in place. I've got an impending marriage -- if I can ever find time to plan it with Mel -- and a baby on the way."
"Six months or so; we're not sure," Zuko says despite the hugging. "Iroh for a boy, Louise for a girl. Yes, there's no where to buy FROM, and uhm, when it's older?"
Why can't Azula be this nice? Zuko would have been a better off child if she had been. Or maybe Ozai would have applied more pressure into making Zuko more like him if Ty Lee had been his sister. Food for thought.
Ty Lee is Exploring, and now, as she rounds a corner, who does she see but her sister's favorite person ever?
She grins. She squeals.
"ZUKO!"
And - smack.
Zuko is Hugged.

And that is Zuko going down with his crutches like a ton of bricks. THere are very few people in the world who would DARE DO THAT TO HIM.
...and he knows which one.
What, just cause girls were always crazy didn't mean that sometime Azula didn't have okay friends.
Sometimes.
"....Ty Lee?"
...okay, you can hug him. He's actually human enough to hug back. And smile.
............... no, it's not a pod Zuko, Ty Lee. Really.

Because that's what you do, when bad men take hammers to your knees. Heal up, and engage in ritual half-naked violence.
Ty Lee GRINS!
"I'm GREAT! Did I you hear I ran away to join the circus? You should come and see the show! It's so good!"
Being exiled and on a quest to avenge your honor is NO EXCUSE for not supporting your (sister's) friends in their performing careers!

TY LEE WOULD BE PERFECT.
If she's trustworthy, anyway.

Of course she's seen Azula. She's Ty Lee. She's a minion.
But even an Azulaminion can make people smile, right? Right?

The prince smiles and asys, "His room's across from mine, in 104."

He's not sure how to feel about that, but it's nice she's... so... perky?

"Other than that, how have you been? Good? Super good? You certainly look happy enough for it!"

YES ZUKO IS SETTLING DOWN. Isn't that darling?

On the one hand, Mai will be distraught. On the other hand, BABY!
Ty Lee squeals, and once again, Zuko is Hugged.
"Ohmygosh, that's so great! How soon? What are you going to name it? Can I hold it? Can I buy it clothes? Can I teach it how to cartwheel?"
Can she hug it and love it and call it George?
