placeholder for the morning of said action; Iroh & ZukopyromaticsMarch 18 2011, 23:49:04 UTC
[The sun's risen. But it looks like possibly only one of the two firebenders are rising with it that morning. What could be the problem? Zuko continues to sleep, undisturbed and unaware of the sun beginning to peek over the eastern horizon.
... He might even be quietly snoring, he's sleeping so heavily!]
[There's no need for an explanation. The only explanation he can give ... is the lone turtleduck that quacks from the pond outside Zuko's open window, the sound carrying.
As pleased and relieved as he is to know that the deities were true to their word and have given him a turtleduck, Zuko hides his grimace by pretending to rub at his face some more.]

A turtleduck! How on earth did that get here?

...Surprise? [Zuko goes over to the window and spots the little yellow and green critter calmly moving on the pond.]

Zuko. Did you do this?
[He doesn't sound quite as thrilled as he should. Srry Zuko, he's too busy being worried about you.]

...It's possible.
[Rubs at his stomach and turns from the window to find a shirt, padding long barefoot.]

[Good thing he has his back turned to his uncle and doesn't have to look him in the eye. Yet.]
Now where's my shirt...

Does this have anything to do with your temperature and exhaustion?

[Pulls out a fresh shirt from his dresser and slips it on.]

What did you talk to the deities about?
[This is serious business, Zuko.]

Feels bad, man.]
...a trade. [Speaking very slowly... as he turns around to face him.]

A trade. It's only temporary, Uncle.
