[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.]

Yeah! She told me she was worried about you because you were sick!

[voice]

[forged_anew]

[Well, crap. The subject of Elysia worried is just making him sad.]

...I was.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Are you feeling better now then?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

Well, I never really got better...

I'm not sick anymore.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

That's good! I'm sure Elysia-chan will be glad to know that you're feeling all better! I'm sure she'd want to play with her big brother!

It must be nice having family while being stuck here!

[voice]

[forged_anew]

She did seem happy when I spoke to her.

Actually, we're not really related. She just started calling me that.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Mmhhm! You should play with her!

Ah? Really? Ahaha, I have someone like that back at home too! She likes to call me sissy!

[voice]

[forged_anew]

I'd like to. Maybe tomorrow.

That sounds nice.

[Time to distract himself from the problem at hand.]

What's your home like?

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

That's good! A little fun is always a good thing, especially when you recover from an illness!

My home? Ah, it's just a normal type setting really! We go to school, go home, work. Nothing special really.

[voice]

[forged_anew]

I guess.

Hmm. I'm sure it's more interesting than that.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Mmm, not really, well...my life became very fun after my parents died and I met so many people!

[voice]

[forged_anew]

That's nice.

[Sorry he's not much of a conversationalist right now, Tohru. You're just a nice distraction for the moment. ^^; ]

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

[And she of course, already loves him to bits~!]

What about you? What's your world like?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

There are Four Nations, each partial to one of the four elements. I live on an archipelago called the Fire Nation.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Eeeh, Fire Nation? Ooh! So do people in your word have super powers!?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

Um, well in my world they're not super powers, but I guess you can call it that. We can Bend the elements, each nation having control of its patron element.

Mine is Fire, as the name of my homeland suggests.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Eehh! How cool! Do you guys like, fight crime and things like that?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

I guess some might.

Some people just... fight.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

Just fight? Because they can?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

Basically.

Bending is dangerous and powerful. Some people misuse that power.

[voice]

[confide-in-me13.livejournal.com]

A-ah, scary.

But you're a good guy right?

[voice]

[forged_anew]

I didn't used to be...

I try.
