17 - [voice] Return to the land of the living

[forged_anew]

[Zuko turns his communicator on, but there is only silence for a long time. He doesn't really know what to say. After a while, he speaks, voice quiet and flat.]


I'm... back.


[.......]



I apologize for having worried you.


[And that's it. The communicator shuts off with a soft click.]

Comments

and you thought she was gonna save you from awkwardness. :|

[Mai was, oddly enough, thinking something along those same lines; Ty Lee's presence, always a fortifying force, might do Zuko some good. She tried to smile at the other girl... and failed, but not completely; at least, her expression was a LITTLE less sour than normal.]

It's fine... c'mon, sit.

sooooooob

[She sits, staring down at her feet]

So, um... you guys want to talk or something? Or...

Oh, God, the awkwaaaard! =A=

[forged_anew]

[Zuko looks over again as Ty Lee joins them, noticing how at a loss the poor girl looked.]

Uh...


[But he can't think of anything to say. Great job, Zuko. The awkward silence continues.]

/dies forever. QUICK, SOMEONE PULL OUT A GUN, THEY CAN PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE. ;~;

[Even Mai, accustomed to awkwardness, found this... unsettling. Talking about her or Zuko, though, would be... well. EVERYONE knew what had been happening to them. So... that only left one.]

...what have you been up?

[...a sad conversation-starter, but, considering that she'd never tried to do that before? Not a bad first try.]

TY LEE WOULD IF SHE KNEW WHAT A GUN WAS (except she really, really wouldn't XD)

[A shrug]

Not much, really! Just the usual stuff.

... You guys should come visit more often. Or I should visit you.

[Zuko manages a tiny smile. Ty Lee's trying, and he appreciates it.]

You're welcome here whenever.
