Zuko and I were sparing on the ship Zuko and I going back and forth on who had the upper hand when all of a sudden the ship made a sharp turn sending us off balance. me being the oh so graceful person I am slipped and fell on my face
"Someones changing our course"
"Ya think" I groaned, rubbing my face. Zuko took a glance at me before going towards the captain. I followed and he started yelling as soon as we saw him.
"What's the meaning of this mutiny? No one told you to change course!"
"Actually someone did" I looked over to see uncle Iroh playing pai sho with some of the crew. " I assure you it is a matter of utmost importance prince Zuko," He stated while staring at the board I walked over and glanced down. Uncle would surely win but he's playing differently?
" Is it something to do with the avatar?"
"I doubt it," I responded without looking up from the board.
"Princess zora is right, It's even more urgent it seems," He cut himself off to sigh and hit his forehead with his hand gently. I looked at Uncle concerned. "I've lost my lotus tile." That explains why he's playing differently.
"Lotus tile?" Zuko asked as Iroh made his next move
"For my pai sho game, most people think the lotus tile insignificant,but it is essential to the unusual strategy that I employ "
"It is kind of important Zuko" I let out looking at Zuko who looked outraged.
"You've changed our course for a stupid lotus tile?"
"See you like most people underestimate its value" Iroh responded,
"That's how he always wins!" I added
"Just give me ten minutes to check the merchants at this port of call. Hopefully, they'll have the lotus tile in stock and I can get on with my life"
"Oooooo shopping!" I exclaimed, going to sit by uncle's side instead of stand. Zuko started huffing in anger before releasing fire through his nose and mouth directed at the ceiling. Uncle just smiled and closed his eyes.
" I'm lucky to have such an understanding nephew" Uncle said while I giggled slightly behind my hand. Uncle easily won his game after that and we soon docked.
"Stay by one of us, This place is crawling with pirates," Zuko informed me as I rolled my eyes.
"Zuko I'm a big girl I can handle myself"
"Says the girl whos still scared of catgators"
"They eat people!"
"You're a firebender, you could burn it," Zuko responded dumbly. I looked at him in horror as Iroh hid a smile watching us bicker as we descended from the ship.
"That's just cruel Zuko!"
"Yeah yeah. Just listen to me for once and stay close by"
"I was going too anyway, I don't have money and I want things" I responded, throwing my arms up and hitting a guard in the face. "Owwww" I whined, cradling my hand as the guard held his head with his hand. Zuko laughed at me and I pouted. As we walked around I saw a bunch of pirates like Zuko had said but I'm a bender. I'm fine.
"Who's brave enough to look in this bag"
"Hey, Zuko?"
"What?" He questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"You should go look in that guy's bag." He looked at me incredulously.
"why?"
"Oh I'm sorry I must have forgotten you weren't brave" I smirked as he glared at me and went to prove a point when suddenly I heard my name.
