[honorbends]

Who: Zuko [honorbends] and YOU.
Broadcast: Fleetwide.
Action: On Ye Olde Ice Planet.
When: Now!

Why.

[ that is literally the only thing zuko texts, because he has stepped out onto the ice planet Hoth and is promptly regretting ever doing so. firebenders rise with the sun, and zuko is a morning person, and nothing is more claustrophobic than being on a ship with no natural light, or heat, or energy -- and being outside alone is rejuvenating for him, but --

there is so much snow.

so feel free to spot him wandering around looking furious in a scarf, stubbornly melting a small patch of snow, or perusing the markets for things to buy with money that he probably asked someone else for.

or you can hit him with snow and take advantage of the fact that he is, in fact, a firebender on what is apparently a recreation of the northern water tribe. with more salt.

this is the worst. ]

[Getting Zuko to open up is a little like pulling teeth, isn't it? But that doesn't bother Beverly, not really. Sometimes it's hard to explain how much someone means to you. She gets that. And, after all, it's not as if she is unused to taciturn people.]

You know, Zuko, you remind me a little of one of my friends at home. Worf.

[Or maybe even Ro, though whether Ro and Beverly are really friends is more debatable. Just then the waiter arrives to take their order.]

Tea. Earl Grey, if you have it, but any black tea will do.

[The waiter nods, then looks expectantly at Zuko.]

[ zuko opens his mouth to tell beverly 'uh sorry about that' before the waitress looks at him, and he hesitates. ]

... jasmine tea.

[ finally, and he returns his gaze to the window for a moment before refocusing his attention on beverly ]

Why do I remind you of your friend?

[dancingmd]

He's also a man of few words, who thinks about much more than he ever says and feels much more deeply than he ever shows.

[there's also that honor business but she doesn't know about that yet]

Don't worry, it's a good reminder.
