Summary: Written for the high_born challenge “Born that way”.
When asked if Azula had always been a psychotic pyromaniac murderer, Zuko could only shrug and shake his head. If Azula had ever been any other way, he’d never seen it. He’d actually thought of it as perfectly normal, until he was finally exposed to people who usually weren’t trying to kill him. It was all a matter of perspective.
When asked if Toph had always been an ill tempered, uncouth loud mouth, the Earthbender just spat and scratched herself and launched Zuko into the air with a sudden shift of the ground beneath his feet. She then spent the rest of the day calling him ‘Zuzu’. It made Zuko make some of the best noises, maybe even better than the noises Sokka made when she made fun of his lack of bending. Others hastened to assure her that he also made some great faces.
He didn’t ask about her blindness or her family, and she didn’t ask about his parents or why he was so determined to teach Aang Firebending. She did ask him if his uncle had taught him to make tea, and promptly bullied him into making it for her.
