[Zuko's hanging out on a bench near the kitchen, with some pastry thing that is probably meant to be toasted. But, since he doesn't understand trust any of the appliances in the kitchen, he's warming it up himself. With fire.]

[payback]

[New person new person! With neat fiery skills, which even in her quite directed walk Rin will pause to admire.]

[honorinflames]

[and then, with a sizzle, some of the sugar begins to caramelize, and the pastry chars. Damn it.]

...Ugh. [blowing on it now, waving the little bit of smoke away]

[payback]

... You could just toast it, you know.

[honorinflames]

That's what I was trying to do.

[payback]

In the... toaster...

[honorinflames]

[glowers at her, not particularly wanting to admit that he doesn't know what she's talking about]

[payback]

Um... [Jeez, what a face.]

[honorinflames]

[sulkily looks down at the pastry in his hands, contemplating whether or not he could get away with claiming that this was just fine and eat it anyway.

...ugh, it's a mess]

[payback]

[Gently, because this is too pathetic.]

You know... the toaster?

[honorinflames]

[ugh! Fine. His frown deepens...]

No.

[payback]

Like, a little metal box, with slots in the top, and you stick bread and things in there and press a little lever and it toasts for a while and when it's done it pops up.

[honorinflames]

No, okay??

[practically throws up his arms in frustration]

I don't know what you're talking about!

[payback]

... Jeez, calm down!

[honorinflames]

[glaring to himself, refolds his arms]

[payback]

[Gets an idea.]

Paradisa, I'd like a toaster.
