Locket
The Void is close to the edge of Mount Verla. The Pyrii refuse to leave and they have a week, maybe two at best, before they're swallowed by the Void.

They don't want to abandon their home. So I want to move it.

I need help. If you're willing to help, no matter where you are in the world, I can make sure you get here within a few hours. Respond privately and I'll tell you what needs to happen.

Please, we can buy them time. I just need help.

[ trying. it's all zuko's done with his life — he's tried to be good, he's tried to be better, he's tried to be someone he isn't. where he wants wan to be prepared for the potential of being disappointed, zuko's involvement in this stems from that simple word. try. he can see he wants to try, and zuko, despite disbelieving this plan will work, can respect that. ]

[ he sighs. ]

I can't teleport seven people out of danger, Wan.

I'll tell them to leave before it gets to the point that you have to.

[At least as far as the void was concerned. The pyrii was another matter that Wan would deal with when the time came. For the moment, it was a potential problem he was willing to ignore.]

And if the Void moves quicker than they can run?

[ despite thinking he could, if he was to take two people at a time, zuko doubts he can teleport fast enough. that thing had snuck up on them without them even looking — and zuko's certain he's been facing that direction for the last few months of the previous year. ]

You can't bend it back. Nothing can stop it. You should just ... be prepared for the worst.

Then I'll build a wall to hold it's winds off long enough for them to run. It's powerful, but it's more like a tornado or a hurricane. And it moves a lot slower than one. The wall won't last, but it will block the winds long enough for them to get far enough that they won't be sucked in.

[Wan had already been close enough to it to feel the edge of those winds and he wasn't going to risk getting closer. If the void's approach got to the point he could feel it again, he wouldn't hesitate to send everyone else away.]

I'm not going to risk their lives against the Void, Zuko. I promise.

[ zuko rubs his temple really hard. but he thinks he knows wan would sacrifice himself if it meant those who had come in good faith to help him were spared. it's what aang would do; it's what zuko would do. ]

[ he sighs, but his voice is as strong as stone. ] The first sign of this failing, we're getting out of there.

[ he really means the tenth sign of them failing, as he's never given up in his life. even though it had appeared as though zuko would rather lay in defeat, he's always picked himself up to march onward. he knows wan has to be the same. why else would he take on such a great, impossible task if he wasn't keen on trying until his own fingers bled? ]

[First sign. Right. Sure. Wan could agree to that.

...]

You'll be here soon?

[No. He couldn't agree to that. So he didn't. He hoped the topic change wouldn't be terribly and completely obvious.]
