/* this is awfully late ! i'm sorry !

@ignisgloria
            thank you.  *   she nodded,   smiling down into her cup,  *   where are you headed next?  if i may ask?

fire is destructive,  *  zuko says with a nod,  *  but it can help,  too.  the amount and dimension of anything is crucial.  a small flame isn’t destructive.  a wildfire is.  *  he shrugs.  *  nature can be just as destructive.  self-destructive,  too.  and fire is a part of nature.  *  zuko smiles lightly,  averting his eyes,  and stares at a patch of daisies nearby.  nature is beautiful.  it can be horrid and horrifying and horrible,  too,  but in first place,  it’s beautiful.  mostly.  *  mm,  that would be nice.  you’re always welcome,  *  the prince says,  far too quickly.  *  um.  when you leave,  i wish you the best of luck. 

@ignisgloria
            i see.   well,   *  she smiled back,   small but sure,  &  let her shoulders relax a little  *   there is no short of places to explore around here.  i’ve had lots of time to look around  . . .  nature was never really my thing,  but i have since become accustomed to it,  and learned to respect it.  i used to think it was the exact opposite of fire,  and fire bending for that matter,  but things can’t grow without warmth,  without sun.  so.   *  akira shook her head  *   no,  i have always travelled alone.  it’s easier that way.  but if you and iroh ever do choose that domestic life,  i’ll be sure to drop by for some tea.

@ignisgloria
            *   she nodded in kind,  already moving past the hostility the other had showed her before.  *   i will do my best to help.
            /   SAME!!  ki needs people desperately lol and i’m rlly looking forward to them becoming friends!!  would u mind if i dropped a follow-up one liner?

*  zuko hesitates,  but he assumes that he has no other choice but to trust this woman to take care of his uncle until he returns with the needed medicine.  he dips his head in a mild expression of gratitude.  *  thank you for your help,  akira.  i’ll meet you at the camp soon.  
            
            \   the way i’m hype for their blooming friendship hO

well, i don’t know, maybe i learned a couple things along the way with you . . . or ryuu . . . and maybe even with kalriq. 

@northernlotus
            you say you don’t understand relationships,   but the advice you give—it suggests the opposite.

*  she chewed on the inside of her cheek before shaking her head in confusion.  *   what do you mean?

 \\    this is late but yes  pls ((: ! 

@ablazes ; yessuh 

/ me please

@foundhonor
            my anger,   my skill.  it’s my father’s.   my vanity—mother passed that down to me with no hesitation.

@ablazes 
            
            * he turns his gaze to her in disbelief *
            
            how so? 

@foundhonor
            *  she smiled sadly *   i’m more like them than i’d care to admit.
