"Are you sure you are fine?" The voice said.

Y/N: Don't worry, Iroh. I'm all good and energized.

He said with a sleepy tone.

Iroh: You shouldn't be staying up all night. You are still too young.

Y/N: Sorry, I was just training.

Iroh: There is a room for training and a room for relaxing. You should balance between those two.

Y/N: Yes, I'll try and do that.

Iroh: Good. Now what do you want to order?

Y/N: The usual.

Iroh: Alright.

He said as he started walking away from Y/N's table to make him his tea. After a few minutes he came back to Y/N's table and served him his order with a smile.

Y/N: Thanks, that'll help me relax my mind.

Iroh: Anything for my favorite customer.

He said as he left Y/N to enjoy the tea while Zuko was serving other customers. Some customers that Iroh said began approaching him.

Quon: So, you're the genius behind this incredible brew. The whole city is buzzing about you! I hope Pao pays you well.

Iroh: Good tea is its own reward.

Quon: But it doesn't have to be the only reward. How would you like to have your own tea shop?

When Iroh heard that he was filled with extreme happiness and excitement while Quon was looking at him a bit concerned.

Iroh: My own tea shop? This is a dream come true!

Pao wanted to see what the commotion was about. He stood between the group.

Pao: What's going on here? Are you trying to poach my tea-maker?

Quon: Sorry Pao, but that's business for you, am I right?

Pao: Mushi, if you stay, I'll make you assistant manager. Wait, senior assistant manager!

Quon: I'll provide you with a new apartment in the Upper Ring.

Zuko was collecting the empty cups while setting them on a tray, while Y/N was enjoying his tea.

Y/N: So, how is life?

Zuko: Boring.

Y/N: Oh c'mon, how can you be bored of making tea like this?

Zuko: I don't really care about tea, It's just a piece of leaf in hot water! I want to follow my destiny.

Y/N thoughts: Why do I feel like someone got hurt when he said that?

Y/N: What is your destiny?

Zuko: It's none of your business, Y/N.

Y/N: Come on.

Zuko: No.

Y/N: Please?

Zuko: No!

Y/N: You are no fun.

Zuko just continued collecting the cups but he heard Quon's offer and glanced towards him.

Quon: The tea shop is yours to do whatever you want, complete creative freedom.

Iroh: I even get to name the shop?

Quon: Of course!

Pao: Uh, senior executive assistant manager?
