placeholder for the morning of said action; Iroh & Zuko pyromatics March 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.]

[Iroh starts and peers out the window.]

A turtleduck! How on earth did that get here?

[Shifts to the edge of the bed and slides his legs over it. He pushes off the blankets and stands in just his sleeping pants.]

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

[Iroh peers at Zuko from the corner of his eye.]

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.]

[Zuko shoots his uncle a look from the corner of his eye in return.]

...It's possible.

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

What did you do, Zuko?

I... may have talked to the deities...

[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...

[Iroh's eyes narrow.]

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

Temperature? I said I was fine, Uncle.

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

Zuko! [Iroh barks.]

What did you talk to the deities about?

[This is serious business, Zuko.]

[Oh. Oh, this isn't good. Iroh is actually snapping at him. Not good at all. And Zuko HATES it when Iroh uses that serious business tone on him.

Feels bad, man.]

...a trade. [Speaking very slowly... as he turns around to face him.]

What kind of trade?

[Takes a slow, even breath.]

A trade. It's only temporary, Uncle.
