So, Zuko had this little werewolf problem. It got bigger over the weekend, but now that the moon has passed, the prince now seems to be alright. After all, he had a reasonably good time over the weekend, even if it was mostly furry, and adjusted well enough to the state. It wasn't like the last time

He's careful not to bump into him. He just stands, eventually, because if he gets this out of the way, he can just forget about him and Steph for good. Or at least try. This is the last little thing. So he has his reasons, good reasons, good enough for him to be standing in front of the other boy's table eventually with a very empty, almost grim expression. Like he doesn't know him, like he hasn't had any sort of history with him.

Now if only he could figure out how to say what he's come to say.

Zuko doesn't look up from his work.

"Whatever you've got to say, spit it out. You're in my light."

Ah yes, there it is. Perhaps coaxed out by the sound of Zuko's oh-so-annoying voice, the words come to him then and there.

"Just letting you know that you can stop worrying about me killing your girlfriend." Not his friend anymore. Just this guy's girlfriend. "Hollow's gone now, not that you'll believe me, and not that I give a shit what you believe anyways. Me and your girlfriend decided it was best we stop being friends from now on despite that. Just saying so I can be done with the whole mess. You, her, all of that. So you don't need to care anymore, and we can go back to not knowing each other."

Better that way, maybe?

Zuko looks up at Ichigo, his eyes narrowing. "You're just a peice of work, aren't you? You lied! Time and again! And then you expected to just---be forgiven, welcomed with open arms? Are you that stupid?"

He gestures with one hand, and then says, "And now you stand, makign this childish display of bowing out? Like you chose this? Please-- you're not a man or a monster; you're a squalling infant. Come back when you've grown up, and maybe I'll give half a damn about anything you've got to say."

It's amazing how he can let it roll off him this time. Just...ignore it. Not because he's being the bigger man or for any reason that's noble or good of him, but because he's got things in focus now. Milliways is something extra. A place to relax, somewhere to see friends. And now he's got things to do back home again, life and death things. So getting mad for what Zuko says, or getting hurt because he's lost a friend...suddenly it's all being examined at arms length, and discovered to be a lot less important.

"Not forgiven. Not welcomed. And I don't plan on coming back. That's why I'm here. So I don't have to. You're right about some things, Zuko, but I doubt you'll ever give a damn about anything I have to say. So...well, goodbye."

With a shrug, he puts his hands in his pockets and walks back to his own table. Glad it's over with. Because all he reminds him of is all that pain and suffering and lying. And Steph. Things he'd like to forget.

Zuko's head is down; Ichigo hasn't said anything worth listening to, so he simply goes about what he was doing-- working no the tiny golden item on the table.
