7th Inspection

[pinkefficiency]

Has, uh...has anyone seen or heard from Zuko?

[It doesn't take a genius to figure out what happened, but it can't hurt to ask, right? It's possible that he's just been really quiet. Not likely, but still possible

...Zuko is missing as well?

[Light, this is not good.]

[pinkefficiency]

Seems that way. [She doesn't like the fact that her friend is gone, but...well. That means he's back home, now. That's a good thing.]

[bellator_lucis]

...I am sorry.

[He knows how hard it is to have a friend vanish.]

[pinkefficiency]

[Hnn.]

Don't be. He was probably sent back to where he belongs, so...it's good that he's not here, anymore. [She doesn't sound terribly sure of herself, but there you have it.]

[bellator_lucis]

[He can go with that.]

He did say that he had an important task to complete, back home. Perhaps this is --

[He bites his tongue. 'For the better' is not a tactful thing to say to someone grieving, even he knows that.]

[pinkefficiency]

[She'll finish that sentence for you, Warrior.]

For the better.

[bellator_lucis]

[Long pause. How does one do this comfort thing.]

I am sure it would have been...difficult, to choose between new friends and an appointed task.

[pinkefficiency]

He had something important to do back home. It's better that he was sent there. Not as if he can do any of that while he's here, after all.
