Makoto made sure to show up early for 'her' shift just so 'she' could make sure they had enough crayons and paper just on the off-chance that they were overrun by weetiny children today.

... Makoto was kinda hoping that was the case. 'She' had no problems with children.

Talk to Makoto

Who, if not busy with customers, is colouring.

"What about in your history books? Do your tutors say anything about waterbenders?"

Re: Talk to Makoto

"They talk about the war against the Southern Watertribes," Zuko replied.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

"And what do you think about that war?" Makoto asked, "how much do you know about it?"

It was madness to be talking to a kid this way, but 'she' had to try at least.

"We're just bringing peace to the world, letting the other nations share from our prosperity," Zuko replied and it was obviously something that he had been told.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

"Have you seen that with your own eyes?" Makoto asked gently. "Talked to those on the other side?"

Zuko frowned at her. "Why should I have to? My father wouldn't lie to us."

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

Makoto wasn't going to try and explain that yeah, parents did lie.

"Don't you think it's better though to see for yourself?" Makoto said instead. "I'm sure your father knows what he's doing, but it's always better to see for yourself than just hear a report. You'll understand it better that way."

"I will see it when I'm bigger," he replied, slightly wary now. "I'll have to learn so I can be a good Firelord."

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

'She' smiled at him. "I'm sure you will be, as long as you see with open eyes. I mean, if Katara's nice, then couldn't there be more nice waterbenders?"

Re: Talk to Makoto

[thebluespirit]

"Yes, but those who hurt the Fire Nation aren't nice," he told her.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

"How do they hurt the Fire Nation?"

Re: Talk to Makoto

[thebluespirit]

"In battle," he replied as if that should be obvious.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

"And do you know who starts those battle?" Makoto wondered.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[thebluespirit]

Zuko shook his head and shrugged. "Would you join the fighting if your nation was at war?" he asked.

Re: Talk to Makoto

[notreallyagirl]

"That," Makoto said honestly, "would really depend on how the war started."
