second flame [he's not having difficulties, really]

[Zuko is sporting a slightly less emo hairstyle! Well... it's still emo, but at least you can see his eyes now. He's found himself a nice open spot behind the theater where hopefully no one will see him, or care. Instead of his robes, he's wearing a more casual tunic, though it's still made of nice material

[OH HAI ZUKO. You're totally on her 'stalk' list. :| ]

[firedprince]

[Too busy kicking my own ass to care.]

[fireintothesky]

[STALKS. GLARING.]

[firedprince]

[feels eyes on the back of his head, and pauses momentarily]

[fireintothesky]

[Tenses at his pause. Still glaring, yup.]

[firedprince]

[He resumes practicing again. He can defend himself. Obviously.]

[fireintothesky]

[And relaxes. STILL STARING, taking in each move and drill, committing them to memory--and trying to figure out where the heck that fire is coming from.]

[firedprince]

[Zuko lands after a finisher and slowly stands up, his back to Henrietta.]

What do you want?

[fireintothesky]

[...what a weird question. She isn't sure how to answer.]

[firedprince]

Fine, keep staring. I don't care. [And he goes back to doing sets.]

[fireintothesky]

[And then, all at once--] I don't know.

...it was an opportunity to see how you fight.

[firedprince]

[pauuuuseee]

I'm not interested in fighting you.

[fireintothesky]

[...works for her.] Okay.

[Wanders closer] Where does the fire come from?

[firedprince]

[Zuko is still a bit on edge, but he's not going to do anything that might make her shoot at him again, lol. He sits down.]

Inside me.

[fireintothesky]

I-in...! Do you need some water?!

[firedprince]

[Zuko stares at Henrietta blankly.]

What? N-no, that's not -
