4 ☼ VIDEO / UNSEELIE
[ 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.) ]

[ katsa completely misses the blushing, luckily for zuko. but jia sure is a charmer. katsa claps a hand over her grin. ]
I don't know who either of those people are. But I bet you're a good fighter. I'll fight you someday too, Jia. Perhaps Zuko needs a rescue.

There was a spirit haunting their village. Some people were killed by it, so I helped them out. [ he shrugs his shoulders. ] They're nice people in Azure. You should come by again sometime.
[ jia lets the air out of her cheeks and doesn't inhale, sounding slightly winded, ] You can stay with me! I make good tea. Zuko even said so!
video;
I'll return soon if I can, and you know you're always welcome to visit Srathmarbh whether I'm there or not, so that Jia can see the ocean.
[ there's a note in her voice that she tries not to let slip through, for jia's sake: a note of worry that the ocean may not still be there, of the void that she's been watching from her towers and knows grows closer day by day. ]
