Iatoke: (Sweeping) ...There's no reason to be afraid, you know.

???: (Stops) ...

Iatoke: Sometimes our pasts have a tendency to make us question our integrity- some more than others- but you've been here long enough to earn my trust.

???: ...

Iatoke: I understand. It's complicated. If you need to stay closed off for a bit longer, that's fine. You're one of the finest employees I've had, however, which is why you spark my curiosity.

Iatoke: You might have become... ashamed... of your name over the last few years, but in all honesty I think it's... good that you still answer to it. Well... the operative word being "answer".

Iatoke: Azula... I just wanted to say... thank you, for all you've done for us. It hasn't been easy, but your humility and determination have been an inspiration. That is all.

Azula: (Bows, then leaves for her room)

Iatoke: ...I'll see you tomorrow.
