[RL, Ursa & Zuko] Back into the arms that care
He was nervous, honestly. Really nervous. This was all he'd wanted since finding out his mother was still alive, but as Appa carried him out of the Fire Nation and into the Earth Kingdom, he felt his stomach churn. And it wasn't from flying, he liked flying, even if the bison could be unbearably slow at times.
What if she thought he'd changed?
Zuko shifted at the mammal's head, stretching his legs. She still seemed the same. Did he?
Making a disgruntled, frustrated sound at himself, Zuko steered Appa down. The Avatar talked to it a lot, didn't he? Did that actually help?> Well - it couldn't hurt, right?
"Uh," he started, leaning down over the bison's huge, furry head. "Hey. So. I'm going to see my mom, and, uh..."
Zuko trailed off, certain Appa had just belched. Slapping his hand over his face, the young man shook his head. "This is so stupid!"
The rest of the journey passed in silence, with Zuko hunched forward against the wind. When he reached the base of the mountain he was supposed to meet Ursa at, Zuko circled the spot a few more times than was necessary. When he realized he was stalling, however, he landed, frowning at himself as he slid down Appa's side. Was he early? Did he get the wrong place?
Frustrated with his nerves, Zuko crossed his arms and leaned against the bison's leg, scowling at his feet.
