She isn't sure what else to say. Should she apologize for wandering into his dream? It seems to be the right thing to do but, really, it just seems kind of stupid to her. She's not even sure how she ended up wandering into his dream any way. This whole place is just entirely too confusing. First it brings back the dead, now this.

[Just a faceless question, asked in a light, airy tone, honest curiousity in his voice before he offers considerately.]
I can give you that, you know~ ♥

I'd say two things. The first is that the dead generally don't come back to life after years as a corpse. The second is that I wonder at your intentions, Mister...?
{Iroh reads legends and folklore. He's never heard of the dead coming back to life after being so long gone from it, but he's heard of tricky bargains from spirits, and plenty of impostors. There were tales, such as the recently-late Princess Yue, of the spirits intervening benevolently, but they seemed to do so for their own reasons, not as trade.
[It would also imply the ability to reach out of the world. Iroh is reasonably sure this is not the afterlife, and that Lu Ten isn't here, in spirit or otherwise. And, if that were the case, wny not be offering to take everyone home?]
