Another training sim, but this time, Zuko's only meditating. He could do this anywhere else, like the Observatory, but no one could ever accuse him of not clinging to home

Ava's never been much for the outdoors; Central Park is about as much "wilderness" as she can handle, and even then it's not her favorite place in the city. This garden is nice, however, and she's content to just stand quietly and let the winds gently swirl around her for now. (Intruding? Well... she's never had much use for privacy.)
"I'm not an airbender-- and did you just call me fat?" Ava asks, a little too defensively. She's not fat, just tall and curvy, but being a former competitive gymnast hasn't exactly made her less sensitive about her weight.
"I called you loud." Which is a lot more important than weight in Zuko's world o' ninjas. "My uncle probably weighs twice as much as you, and he's as quiet as a mouse-leopard when he needs to be."
He snuffs the candles out with a wave of his hand. "Did you want something?"
He's trying to be more social, really, but he's making slow progress.
"Good for him, but I walk like the average person." Ava is not from a world full of ninjas, and her definition of combat involves a lot less stealth and a lot more beating shadow-creatures until they stop twitching. (Mouse-leopard is not remarked upon, because both of those animals are sneaky. It makes sense, in a weird way.)
"Not especially. This felt like a nice simulation, though, and I couldn't see anyone in here at first." Ava says with a shrug.
Zuko looks at her with a tinge of repressed sullenness for a moment, then turns back to the gardens.
"You can stay. This is the garden at my uncle's old estate." The land isn't Iroh's anymore, not after his official exile, but Zuko still thinks of it as his. "He'd be glad more people were enjoying it. Even if it's just a memory."
And Zuko could use the company. Even if he won't admit it.

"For an airbender, your footsteps are pretty heavy."
