52 ::: Uchiha Izuna 彡 Video

[visionofblood]

[There's no preamble or context leading up to the video. It's meant to be private, so Izuna spares no wasted breath on filling his audience in on what the one person intended already knows. He offers no censorship, since the man doesn't suffer a weak stomach.

[His expression is mildly well-this-is-something-I've-never-seen-before, but it's not shocked or disgusted. He's silent for a moment.]

Perhaps this is a question that answers itself, but...are you all right?

[First instinct has him almost saying yes. He checks himself before his hands can lift and bat away Iroh's concern, and sighs down at the darkness where the sink should be.

He smiles ruefully at it all.]

Physically, yes.

At least there is that, then. I'm sorry that this did not go well.

[He's gathered enough from some minor eavesdropping on other threads to tell that this was an experimental procedure of some sort.]

A-ah...

Apologies for showing such grisly moments publically like this. It was a mistake, I'm not - very adept with using these devices under pressure.

Do not blame yourself. It seems these little machines have quite the mind of their own - and they seem very fond of publicising one's more private moments.

Anyway, I expect that I am far worse.

We spoke briefly when I first arrived, but I am afraid I did not get your name.

[visionofblood]

We did ... I think I'm grateful this isn't my first impression upon you, considering.

My name's Izuna, of the Uchiha clan.

[paisho_everyday]

Understandable, although I try not to judge on first impressions. They are not always what you hope for them to be - especially here.

My name is Iroh. I am Zuko's uncle.

[visionofblood]

I'm afraid I have an unfair advantage. I've met you before, though it wasn't you, it was ... a different you. The animus have unusual practices.

[Video]

[paisho_everyday]

I...see. Well, I hope I was friendly. I would hate to have fostered a bad reputation for myself before I even arrived.

...again.

[Video]

[visionofblood]

Don't misunderstand, we weren't... close. I spoke with you only briefly, and your stay wasn't a long one, but we got along well enough. Any bad reputation for you is one you'll have to earn all on your own.

[His smile was like a wink, quick and tricky.]
