[ 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.) ]

I don't think you talk to animals, Zuko. They don't usually talk back. Maybe you shouldn't hit your own head so often.

[raavashing]

Same as you talk to other people, Zuko.

[chaoticwhimsy]

Just talk to them. They'll figure out what you mean.

[Lumina treats animals like they're just people who don't talk back.]

You could start by being a little less loud.

( Oh no, this is adorable. While Elizabeth does not laugh, her expression is full of amusement as her lips twitch upward into a grin. )

I think they understand us much better than we do them, Your Grace.

[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.

[digophelia]

Well, not by yelling at them. They're not much different than actual people; you wouldn't liked being yelled at. You should try to sound happier.

[ Like it's the most obvious thing in the world. ]

Animals can grumble?
