[Zuko still looks pretty annoyed, but probably a little less so now that he's got thumbs again. Also, for anyone who hasn't seen yet, his room is the apartment he and Iroh stayed in in Ba Sing Se, and you all get a nice look at Scarface here, sitting at his table after going over his new inmate's file.]

Are floods usually that pointless?

I do. I've thought of him while speaking with Vanessa - perhaps that similarity is why she was assigned to you.

Private

[restoringhonor]

Maybe.

Is the Admiral usually a fan of irony?

Private

[grand_lotus]

He definitely can be. It does seem quite rare that he makes these selections poorly, however.

Private

[restoringhonor]

I guess that's comforting.

You will be able to help her, nephew. You must have faith in that as much as you must have faith in her ability to change.

Private

[restoringhonor]

I do. She just won't listen to me.

[WELP.]

A teenager who won't listen to advice.

Hm.

I believe I have met at least one of those.

Private

[... Walked right into that one, Zuko.]

Sorry. I'm already really starting to realize how frustrating that was to deal with.

I mean, I knew it was, but I'd never experienced it myself before. I guess.

There's no need to apologise. You found your own path, Zuko - not your father's, or mine, and I would not have had it any other way.

But Vanessa has to choose her own path as well. She has to find her own redemption. I'm sure that she has made it clear by now that she will not follow your orders.

Private

[restoringhonor]

Very clear.
