[Zuko doesn't know where he got all these felt-tip markers, post-it notes, and stickers when he wakes up that morning, and he's not really sure what he's meant to do with them. But the sudden urge to go around the teashop and label things as "Property of Zuko!" or "Zuko's _________!" can't be ignored

...Zuko? What are you up to?

[pyromatics]

Huh? [Stops scribbling on a post-it he's about to slap on a teapot. But then he sees you, Hanna. And he starts scribbling on a new post-it.]

Hi.

[manofgnee]

Is...there some reason you've decided to label everything in sight today?

[pyromatics]

Yeah, because it's all mine. It belongs to me.

[Waves him over.]

Now come over here.

[manofgnee]

Uhh...

[Hesitantly comes over.]

[pyromatics]

[Good, good! This is very good, come closer, Hanna, because Zuko's scribbling on a post-it "ZUKO'S GOOD FRIEND".]

[manofgnee]

[Hanna blinks, but he can't help but smile. He's Zuko's good friend.]

[pyromatics]

[Just stand still now, Hanna! He has to place it on your shoulder ... or better yet, maybe the middle of your chest with a nice hard pat so it's securely in place.]

There.

[manofgnee]

[Hanna laughs and grins a bit. He actually likes this. He'll save this.]

Thanks, Zuko.

[pyromatics]

Try not to lose it, or I'll have to write you another one.

[Puts the markers and post-its into the pockets of his apron and nods.]

[manofgnee]

Promise I won't lose it!

[He won't. He's gonna save this.]

[pyromatics]

Okay, good.

Are you here for tea...?

[manofgnee]

You know I am! Also, I came to hang with you.

[pyromatics]

But I'm working.

[manofgnee]

I know...I figured, I come, get your awesome tea, chat with you when you get a break, which qualifies hanging, then go home?

[pyromatics]

Oh. Uh... any table will do? [Looks around the main level of the teashop and all the post-its.]
