[banishment]

I never dealt with the Earth King directly when I was younger, so I didn't know whether or not to believe the others when they claimed he was a few apple-grapes short of a bushel. I do now. He's a moron and seems to know little to nothing about running the Earth Kingdom. And, that insufferable bear of his has got to go. If I have to see to repairs to any of the rooms due to that creature's antics, I swear I'll start another war. ...well, not really, but at the very least, stop allowing all the meetings between myself and that idiot Kuei from taking place here in the Fire Nation. I know he insists that the residents of Ba Sing Se would disapprove of the Fire Lord, someone who helped conquer the city during the war being there, but I'd rather his pets wreck his own palace and not mine.

(( ooc: A little late due to having just recently gotten home, but Zuko's once again turned into a Fire Lord version of himself to match Mai as Fire Lady. And, like Mai, he thinks this is a regular paper journal for venting and not his PDA. Thank you, Hope Card. ;p ))
