[ there's a flat look before zuko

actually does take a deep breath and exhales and follows sokka's advice, though he does exhale a little bit of flame. because. you know. firebending. ]

I have a headache.

[ pause ]

Like I slept too late.

[ obviously zuko jesus christ ]

[alwayscomeback]

[At least Sokka's used to it, and it's not too MUCH flame, so it's not like they're going to breach the hull or anything. ]

Well, you did. You slept a really long time. Over a month long-time.

[There's a pause, as he's not sure if Zuko will take this as good or bad news. He tried to keep his tone even, at least, even if it's good news for him:]

Azula left.

[honorbends]

[ there's a silence, at that. a month being asleep, that's a problem and all, but --

it's not immediately clear how zuko takes that news, from his expression, and his tone is pretty even when he speaks. ]

The Blameless will be happy.

[ but azula is just going home to going insane and escaping to the woods on her own. it's hard to be happy over that. ]

[alwayscomeback]

I'm sorry.

[Not because she's gone, but because he knows it's made Zuko's life harder. He puts a hand on his friends shoulder. ]

We'll find her, Zuko. Once we get back. We have to.

[honorbends]

Yeah, I know.

[ and he does. there's really no other option other than finding azula, when they go back. she can't be by herself. but that doesn't help now, and it doesn't help that she's walking right back into a mess that she won't recover from.

having her frozen here was better than what awaits her. ]

She'll survive, anyway. { with a huff of air, crossing his arms, though he doesn't shake off sokka's hand ] That's better than most that got through the war. So.

[alwayscomeback]

Of course she'll survive, it's what she does.

[That's said not without a touch of bitterness. He's trying, for Zuko's sake, but that's about his limit. ]

At least we can unlock the doors now.
