[The PCD clicks on to show pitch black darkness, save for a tiny flame in the far corner of whatever room it's lying in. The flame appears to be rising and falling in a certain rhythm. Rise. Fall. Rise. Fall. Rise. Fall. Rise --
The flame goes out only to reappear in the palms of Zuko's hands. He is standing, his palms pressed together, eyes closed, his hands alight with flame. He appears to be completely entranced in what he is doing, and, in the pitch black darkness, he doesn't have to concern himself with the sparkling the sunlight allows.
The fire slowly curls around his fingers, still controlled by Zuko's breath, until it curls around his wrists. Zuko slowly moves his hands apart, the flame suspended in between his palms, and digs his feet into the ground, as if preparing for something...
He inhales sharply and Zuko vanishes from sight as the flame recedes and the PCD only picks up the sound of Zuko's feet moving and the dirt beneath them being disturbed. A flash of steel and a burst of flame shows Zuko spinning neatly in a half-circle and slicing his target, a large log Zuko found lying around, in half, with the assistance of a burning hot flame and red steel.
The last glimpse of Zuko's face before the flame dies is one of disappointment.]
Slow.
zuko needs more friends,
!event: cullen syndrome,
swordplay is a hobby,
firebenders love candles,
pcd doesn't work right,
fire is an aggressive element,
zuko is never happy,
ran like hell to avoid embarassment,
meditation is considered a hobby
