Never Give Up Without a Fight
Zuko paces by his campfire, feeling lost.
Uncle was supposed to be here for this. Not that Zuko's not glad he escaped; he hopes the old man's off somewhere with his Pai Sho friends.
It's just that he's no good at the talking thing. Uncle wouldn't have made things worse whenever he opened his mouth. Uncle wouldn't have burned the little Earthbender's feet!
All Zuko can do is keep trying: persistence seems to be the only virtue he has. He'd earned Aang's enmity that way. Will it work for friendship, too?
He clenches a fist. Only one way to find out.
A Complicated Past
Prince Iroh stares into the majesty of the Masters' living flame and laughs in exaltation.
To think that such magnificent beings have been nearly hunted to extinction. The power Iroh feels in their Fire! How could any Firebender who experienced this turn against them?
He has suspected for years-- since his first voyage outside the Fire Nation-- how deeply his father and grandfather have upset the balance of the world; meeting Ren and Shao, he knows those suspicions for truth.
He will keep their secret-- until he becomes Fire Lord, and can bring Lu Ten to see them, too.

But the Iroh part stole the show. Broke my heart, too. You very, very aptly named it. And, seriously, broke. my. heart. with that that sentiment.
