...For a dragon, you're not all that great at Firebending.

[There's a view of Zuko sitting on the beach of Destiny Islands with his Charmander. He's been trying to teach the Pokemon to breathe fire for the past few hours, but it won't Firebend beyond the tiniest sparks of flame, or just steam. Maybe he just needs to wait until it's older... Right

Christmas is a holiday of family, peace, and goodwill. I suppose traditions vary, but every culture seems to have some sort of winter holiday to break up the tedium of the weather as well.

It... sounds nice.

[The Fire Nation doesn't have any holidays like that, that's for sure. Or if it did, they were banned a long time ago.]

It is. It's a time of year to be with our friends and family. Children look forward to it especially, since they sometimes receive gifts.

Too bad most people have been split up from their families when they lost their worlds.

[At least Sokka and Katara have each other, but most people he's spoken to so far have shown up alone.]

[It's going to be a sad Christmas in her direction, too, with so many people disappeared.]

But we have friends here, new friends we've made and sometimes friends from home still.

[restorehonour]

Yeah. It's better than nothing.

[The optimism is forced, though, with people he cares about still missing. With his entire nation gone.]

[So is hers. The truth is, she blames herself for not being strong enough. And she wonders what's wrong with her that she was separated from them.]

You're right. Even if it's sad, we can't let ourselves despair. We should be thankful for the friends we have here.

[He nods.] Someone once taught me that you should never give into despair, no matter how bad things get.

[And Aang being here, at least, gives him hope that things can still be fixed. Not everything is lost.]

[That's the problem, for Ami: She lost Usagi, the hope of her world and that optimistic one. But she can keep going on and work to find a way. As she's said herself, if they can resolve this, what's been lost should be restored along with their worlds.]

You're right. I'll remember it. And thank you.

[restorehonour]

You don't have to thank me. I'm just passing on what someone else said, so...

[Don't mind him, Ami, he's just embarrassed. Awkward Zuko is awkward.]

So, uh... You okay? If you're ever on your own, you can come visit us. If you wanted to, I mean. [Everyone here needs all the friends they can get, from their own worlds or otherwise, and Ami has been nothing but kind to him so far. He feels like he should try to repay the favour.]

[innerflow]

I'm alright, but thank you very much for the offer. The same holds for you if you ever need it. I think we all have a responsibility to each other here.
