"Nico," Zuko whispered. "We have a problem. One of the customers is onto us."

Iroh walked over.

"Don't look now," Zuko continued. "But there is a girl over there at the corner table. She knows we're Fire Nation."

Nico and Iroh glanced over at the table in union.

"Didn't I say don't look?" Zuko scolded.

Iroh smirked. "You're right, Zuko. I've seen that girl in here."

"Quite a lot." Nico added. "Seems to me she has quite a little crush on you." She murmured.

"What?" Zuko gasped.

"Thank you for the tea," a feminine voice said, startling the trio.

The girl who the group was talking about dropped some coopers into Zuko's palm. He quickly turned away.

"What's your name?" She asked.

Zuko turned back around, facing the girl. "My name's Lee. My uncle and I just moved here."

"What about her?" The girl asked, pointing at Nico.

"Oh, I just work here for charity," Nico blurted out. 'Charity, really Nico?'

"Well hi, my name is Jin."

"Amiya."

Jin then turned to Zuko. "Thank you, and well, I was wondering if you would like to go out some time?"

Nico couldn't believe her ears, the boy she likes, I mean old time buddies, okay she couldn't save herself there.

Zuko faced Nico.

"I'm out of here," Nico snapped, walking out of the tea shop. "See you guys later."

"Mom?" Nico said, titling her head at the frame. She caressed the painting.

She came across another painting with the mysterious women and a man in the background, of Wan Shi Tong's library.
