Brr. It is getting cold, isn't it? I'll be keeping the first floor lobby of the Marshall Street apartments warm if anybody wants a respite from the weather.

Weather aside, it IS nice to be back. And I hear my nephew is planning something for the community - care to let your uncle in on the fun, Zuko?

...Oh, I uh... yeah I forgot.

Uncle, there are a few people that were curious about our firebending so, I was thinking instead of just talking about it, I'd show them...

I know there are a few people, like Umi and Mona that have already asked to see it so...I just thought, well, why not do a demonstration after class?

I meant to ask you about it, I'd like you to be there too and maybe demonstrate how to bend lightning. You could even instruct while I go through the forms...if, that's okay?

I'd be honored if you were to be there. After all, you helped me to hone my ability.

[teaandlightning]

What an excellent idea! I'd be honored to help you share a bit of our native culture with the locals. That sounds like a fun afternoon.

Don't worry, hail doesn't last on the ground very long, I shouldn't think. Not that...we've ever gotten it in Hawaii. I miss home.

What's going on, with Zuko?

[teaandlightning]

There was never a lot of hail in the Fire Nation, either, though I did experience plenty of it towards the poles and in the Earth Kingdom. I can't say those were . . . particularly pleasant times to be in the country. Fond as I am of the Earth Kingdom, I'm not nostalgic in the least for its harsh winters.

It seems my nephew is planning a firebending demonstration! I think you'll like it. Firebending is as beautiful an art as it is deadly a style of combat.

Fire spinning tricks are pretty popular in my own culture, actually. My...friend, David, he does it for show, but I bet it's nothing like actually producing the fire yourself...without the help of a lighter and some kerosene-soaked rags tied to staff-ends, that is.

[teaandlightning]

A poor imitation is nothing next to the real thing. You're in for a treat.

[sometimes_bites]

. . . are you gonna set one of the chairs on fire? What're you gonna do when we run out of chairs?

[teaandlightning]

No chairs will be harmed in the warming of this room, I promise.

[sometimes_bites]

. . . are you gonna breathe fire on stuff?

[teaandlightning]

Why would I breathe fire inside a very flammable apartment?

[mrbaseballfan]

I've heard a little about you, Mr. Iroh. It's very nice to meet you, I'm Ness.

[teaandlightning]

Really? All good things, I hope.

[mrbaseballfan]

Yes, all good. I learned you were teaching the morning classes with Mulan. Hope you don't mind a new student!

[teaandlightning]

I never turn down a new student. Well, I haven't yet, anyway.

As long as you're willing to work hard, I'm sure you'll be a fine student. I'm honored to have you.

[has_sore_feet]

That's rather kind of you.

[teaandlightning]

It's the least I can do. Really.
