Zuko: Suki, I fail to understand why after three years you still insist on bodyguarding me.
Suki: (Silver Kyoshi mask glinting in the moonlight) As I've made perfectly clear, my lord, our village owes a great debt to you for repaying tenfold on behalf of the Fire Nation. Besides, we both have friends here.
Ty Lee: (Bubbly personality contrasting with the serious expression on her mask) Plus, I've never gotten to see an Earth Rumble before! It's a win-win for everyone here!
(As Zuko and his Kyoshi bodyguards travel alongside a large congregation come to witness the rumble, a nearby girl takes notice of the Fire Lord)
Zuko: ...Jin??
Jin: (Regrets looking in his direction) Uh, (bows) F-Fire Lord Lee! ...Oh! I mean-
Zuko: The... the bow's not necessary.
Jin: Oh, um, sorry.
Zuko: No, it- it's not your... it's fine. You're fine. I'm fine. We're all fine.
(Unexpectedly long pause)
...So... how are affairs in Ba Sing Se?
Jin: Th- ...they are fine, Fee- I mean, Fire Lord.
Zuko: ...That's... good to hear.
Ty Lee: (Thinking no one will notice since they can't see her mischievous expression) Mmmmmmmmmm!
Suki: (Shushes her)
Zuko: ...Shall! ...We continue?
Suki: As you wish, my lord.
Zuko: (Massages his nose, embarrassed from being called "my lord" for the umpteenth time)
