With Cassie missing, Zuko was setting off to face his sister, the Avatar was setting off to fight the Fire Lord and Seifer, who wasn't going with either of them, felt rather like he'd been invited to the worlds biggest birthday party and then told he couldn't have any cake

Maybe it'd help Zuko, if he was able to accomplish something, even just in a kind of dream, and that was good, too. But mostly, she wanted to tear something down.

"Excellent distraction," Edmund said agreeably but grim faced. "Let's do it."

"Way I see it, we need to get hold of something that's more important than the road. A general, or a stronghold or something, and then all the little soldiers will come running after us rather than after Zuko," Seifer didn't bothet to hide how much that propsect cheered him.
"So let's get going."

He fell into pace with the other two, a slight frown of worry appearing. "They can't all do that thing with the fire, right?"

"We could always ask them," he added with a smirk. "If either of you want someone else to bicker with, anyhow."
He could have added more about that but Arya didn't seem to take that sort of teasing well. He still had the bruises from the last time he'd gone a bit too far on commenting on her mood, after all.

Forcing a direct confrontation was always his preferred plan, no matter how outnumbered he was but he wasn't going to press the point. Not now, anyway.
Strange as it seemed, the most important thing wasn't that they listened to him but rather that they moved fast, or else they'd be too late to do any good whatsoever. And if Seifer missed his chance at a battle, he wouldn't be remotely pleased.
To that end, he didn't say anything else until they were approaching the main Fire Nation camp and saw a scouting party ahead of them.

"Stay out of sight, and when they start going down, come in," she said.
She could play the harmless girl long enough to take them by surprise, but not if she was wearing a pair of weapons.
