RL with Zuko

[hislostlover]

 [As promised she showed up the morning of December 26th with a small box in hand. Lilith wasn't quite sure where to go. Unlike Azula, she never did make frequent trips to her friend's country. It couldn't be too hard to find the Fire Lord in the Fire Nation, right?

Lilith sincerely hoped Zuko was in a spot easily accessible to strange women who

[Zuko had left standing orders months ago with his guards that if anyone unrecognizable showed up, they were to alert him immediately. At the time he'd been thinking of Azula and nefarious plots; a few weeks later he had the spare thought that maybe someone would get through the community's mysterious barrier and visit him. Of course, in the months he'd been away, only one of those had happened, and eventually he'd more or less forgotten about the orders.

So while he'd expected Lilith, he'd also rather typically gotten caught up in reviewing paperwork. It was a tedious task he wasn't well suited for; he'd much rather be outside doing something. But he didn't have a choice, and he'd asked for this, and etc. etc. Zuko threw himself in head on to his work, like he did everything else, and therefore was mildly surprised to be interrupted with a report of a red-haired woman (who has red hair?) that had appeared

Uh... alright. [opening then-- revealing a cell phone]

Is this a-- a phone? Is that what they're called? [technology is so suspicious and he has no clue what to do with it, but Lilith gave it to him so Zuko valiantly tries to get over that]

[hislostlover]

It is a cell phone to be exact. You can use it to get in touch with other community members. It's rather simple to master once you learn the basics.

[honorregained]

[He sighs.] I guess I had to get one eventually. This technology thing is just... weird.

[hislostlover]

Ah I see. It will take some getting used to unless you'd like me to take it back?

[honorregained]

No! [he protests quickly.] It's fine, I mean-- it's not really something I can get for myself, so it makes a good present. Thank you.

[Bows a little, politely.]

[hislostlover]

You're welcome but, please there's no need to bow.

[honorregained]

Oh, uh... okay. [He rubs the back of his head with his free hand, fidgeting. You'll have to save him from the awkward, Lilith.]

[hislostlover]

[Lilith gently places a hand on his head.] You shouldn't be so tense. We're among friends, hm?

[honorregained]

[Zuko blushes but doesn't shrug her off.] I guess it's been a while. There's... been a lot to handle.

[hislostlover]

I can only imagine. You seem to be doing well for yourself though. I am proud.

[honorregained]

...Thank you. That-- means a lot to me.

[hislostlover]

... I really have missed you. It wasn't the same around the community without having you to scold me.

[honorregained]

[jerks his head up, suspicious]

What have you done that you needed scolding for?

[hislostlover]

[Oh she really walked into that one. She takes her hand back.]

Nothing I can think of off the top of my head.

[honorregained]

Uh-huh. [He folds his arms.] Is this about that thing you don't want me finding?
