"Are you still not talking to him?" Jee asked as he approached where I was sitting on the bridge staring out a window.
"Nope!" I replied popping the p. Not bothering to look from my spot.
"You know he did apologize" Uncle responded from his place at the pai sho board and Lieutenant Jee went back to looking over a map.
"To you not me" I responded stubbornly. Uncle let out a sigh before I'm sure he shook his head. I walked over to stand by the crew members playing with my Uncle and looked over the game. Uncle was clearly winning. when Zuko walked into the room, returning from wherever he stalked off too. He nodded towards everyone but I specifically refused eye contact or acknowledgment. I heard a sigh before Zuko walked past me and to Jee.
"Any news?" Zuko asked, crossing his arms and leaning back slightly. A thinking look on his face.
"We haven't been able to pick up the avatars trail since the storm, but if we continue heading northeast" Jee cut off when it suddenly got dark causing me to look over my shoulder. A ship was passing by extremely close. This caught everyone's attention and we all watched.
"What do they want?" Zuko stated the question I'm sure most of us were thinking.
"Perhaps a sporting game of pai sho" Uncle replied rubbing his hands together.
"Or maybe they heard about our music nights" I replied sarcastically. I think Uncle thought I was serious as he looked at me and smiled enthusiastically. They started boarding and I unconsciously stepped closer to Zuko who had his back to the windows waiting for whoever was on board the other ship to approach us. I felt a hand grab my arm and pull me back causing me to stumble backward next to Zuko.
A man came on board and brought a scroll with two others following closely behind. He stood in front of Zuko and I before getting ready to present it. the other two men flanking him. I shifted my weight so I was standing slightly to my left. Keeping my arms crossed and watching boredly. Zuko standing similar to me and an irritated look graced his face.
"the hunt for the avatar has been given prime importance" His voice sounds weird. he's trying to sound official but he really just sounds stupid. " All information regarding the avatar must be reported directly to admiral Zhao"
"Zhao has been promoted? Welllll good for him" Uncle said as he beat the other crew members at the game. the crew member facepalming.
"I wonder why he got promoted," I said under my breath.
"I've got nothing to report to Zhao" Zuko stated looking at me before looking at the ground. "Now get off my ship and let us pass"
"Admiral Zhao is not allowing ships in or out of this area"
"Good for him," I stated boredly.
"OFF MY SHIP" Zuko yelled, lunging forward. The men started to leave as Uncle said
"Excellent! I take the pot. But you're all improving! I'm certain you will win if we play again" Zuko stalked off staring at the wall and I walked towards my room. I wanted to help Zuko but I was still angry at him and Uncle wasn't helping.
"Why are you so mad at me" I heard from behind me as I left. I turned slightly and saw Zuko walking towards me. " I already apologized about the storm and I promised not to do it again" I just rolled my eyes and left. couldnt that idiot figure out I wasn't mad about the storm? at least not fully. I knew he was sneaking off at night. I lay next to him half the time! And he still hasn't told me anything about it. I mean he tells me everything. Why stop now? I heard footsteps following and when we were fully in the hallway out of earshot I turned.
