"Who is your tea maker?"
Enyo straightened up. Three soldiers and a man dressed in finery that wasn't meant to be in the lower ring had entered the shop.
Enyo glanced at Zuko. What were they supposed to do?
They both looked back at Iroh, who waved from behind the counter.
"That would be me, sir."
Iroh moved around the counter and walked towards the man. Enyo joined him, standing just behind Iroh, on Zuko's right side.
"I come from the upper ring," The man spoke. "Your tea is making news, and I would like to offer you a shop in the upper ring."
Enyo's eyes widened. A shop in the upper ring. That meant safety, money, and Iroh's dream come true.
"Did you hear that?" Iroh turned to face them. "We get our own teashop in the upper ring!"
Enyo smiled at him, but Zuko grumbled, brushing past. "I'll try to contain my excitement."
Enyo watched him exit the tea shop and frowned. What was his problem?
~~~
Enyo carried a stack of blankets from the bedroom and placed them into a crate. She crouched, sealing the crate and twisted to look at Iroh. He was sitting at the small table, a sheet of parchment in front of him. Through the window into the alley, the night was beginning to fall.
"Have you come up with any good names yet?" Enyo asked.
Iroh turned to look at her as Zuko entered the apartment. "How about the Jasmine Dragon?"
Enyo chuckled. "Both calming and adventurous. I like it!"
Zuko stood in front of them. He pulled a flyer out of his pocket. "The Avatar has lost his bison, and is in Ba Sing Se."
Enyo's eyebrows rose and she looked at Iroh.
"Zuko," Iroh spoke. "We have a chance at a new life here. A home and a place to live. You shouldn't go stirring up old trouble because you are discontent."
"I don't want to serve tea forever," Zuko responded, looking out the window. "I want my destiny."
Enyo rolled her eyes. It was always about destiny with him.
"You can choose your destiny, Zuko. It doesn't have to be in the Fire Nation."
Enyo straightened up and watched as Zuko retreated into the bedroom, shutting the door. It was quiet for a moment, and Enyo looked back at Iroh.
"What about the Ground Weavel?" Iroh asked.
Enyo shook her head. "I think the Jasmine Dragon is better."
Iroh nodded. "You're right, it's stupid."
~~~
Enyo crouched in the bedroom, digging through Zuko's stuff. It had to be here. She knew he had his, and he would never get rid of the other one.
"There you are," She murmured. At the bottom of his bag, stuffed underneath clothing, was the Red Spirit mask.
She pulled up, staring out the open bedroom window. Zuko could've only left a moment ago, meaning if she was quick, she could catch him.
The bedroom door slid open and Enyo flinched at the sudden noise.
"What are you doing?" Iroh asked.
Enyo turned to face him, ducking her head to look at the ground. She could feel her cheeks growing warm. The Red Spirit mask was in plain view.
