[anyone looking to find Sam Merlotte will find him standing near the maple tree, his hands deep in his coat pockets, a scarf around his neck. He watches people quietly, ever so often turning a cautious eye to the sky for signs of rain. There's no cover here. He wonders if that should be a later renovation.

[Iroh decided to investigate the new place himself. He wondered if people he knew other then Azula had been here before. It was good to have a place to remember those who died, or disappeared. It felt proper and right, and he was actually a little surprised no one had done that before. He supposed it had something to do with how people seemed to come in and out here. He wondered if this was a sort of crossroads between worlds, that had somehow been corrupted. The air around him is warmer around him, heated by the fire he felt with in him. He approaches a man to make some inquiries]

Hello! Excuse me sir, might I have a moment of your time?

[deservesabone]

Huh? - Oh, yeah, sure. [Sam straightens. He doesn't recognize Iroh as anyone he should know.]

[tea_lover64]

Is this a definitive collection of everyone who has arrived here and left?

[The man seemed a little cold]

Would you like a fire to warm yourself?

[deservesabone]

To the best of our knowledge, yeah. It's certainly the most accurate there's ever been.

[this is the most confused of head cocking]

...Nah, that's fine. Wouldn't be good for the tree, after all.

[tea_lover64]

[He produces a small flame in his hand]

Ah, very good. I will leave something for my niece then. Thank you...?

[deservesabone]

Merlotte. Sam Merlotte.

And that's a neat trick there.

[tea_lover64]

Iroh, just Iroh.

[He looks down at the flame]

Ah, yes we call it firebending in my world.

[deservesabone]

Well, good to meet you, Mr. Firebender Iroh. [with a bit of a smirk.] Thanks for the flame.

[tea_lover64]

Likewise, Sam Merlotte.

[He nods]

Oh no problem, fire is life after all.

[proxysearch]

[She's there bright and early to watch as people go to see the markers and the names, but she's also there to see Sam and to make sure he's doing okay. She wanders up to his side when he's alone.]

Amazing work here, Sam. It's beautiful.

[And sad, of course, but that goes without saying.]

[deservesabone]

[Sam sees her approaching and smiles softly. He's glad she came.]

Well, you've got the landscapers to thank for most of that. I'm amazed they were able to get a tree in bloom. It won't be soon enough, but for today I'm glad.

[proxysearch]

Sure, the landscapers did the manual labor, but you're the one who gave them the money, and you came up with the idea.

[deservesabone]

Well, okay. Yeah. [he shrugs]

...I'm thinkin' about some sort of coverin' for the benches. Thoughts?

[proxysearch]

[She glances over to them, giving a thoughtful nod.]

I don't think it would be a bad idea, but I wouldn't think it's necessary.

[deservesabone]

[another shrug - more of a shoulder roll] Just lookin' for ways to improve the place. I want it to be comfortable.

[but maybe he's moving too fast. He did just get the place open.]
