[ if you know zuko, his hair is always hanging in his eyes. pulling his bangs up, it's almost as if he's run a hair straightener through it to keep it raised above his head before it thinks to deflate and droop down over his scar. he's as exasperated as he feels, as defeated as he's always been; a little girl with short, dark hair and red feathers braided into it sits beside him in a red coat, threading together blades of grass. ]

[ with his knees pulled up to his chest, zuko holds his hands out, fingers curling into fists, as his voice is a little sharp and exasperated despite his attempts to calm down. his communicator happens to be leaning against a rock in the grass. he's thought this over pretty well. ]

Ugh! [ he almost smacks his forehead. almost. his knuckles turn white for a moment. ] How do you talk to animals? All they do is eat your food and grumble!

[ the little girl beside him laughs, a tinkling sort of sound, as she continues to thread her grass together. sokka leaving has left a rather big void in zuko's life. he's had to turn to his dragon to brainstorm things sokka would readily help him with — and druk sucks at brainstorming. (zuko thinks he's pretty selfish; he's run out of apples to feed him.) ]

[amusement clear in his voice] Actually, you watch, listen and don't talk. Then you can hear what they have to say.

You'd be surprised at what they have to say.

[ zuko may be oblivious to a lot, but he isn't to the sound of amusement in one's voice. though it's nothing like azula's, condescending and laughing at him cruelly, it gets his back up the moment he hears it. he frowns, his voice loud, as he curls his hands into fists and feels them warm with his own bending. ] He doesn't speak!

[ the little girl beside him shrugs her shoulders, looking at the grass in her hands, as she doesn't miss a beat in trying to stir him, ] He does to me.

[ pulling a tuft of grass from the ground, he throws it at jia who laughs. with his brows knitting together, ] What have the animals said to you?
