43 - [voice] Checking up on everyone (who's left)

Hey...

[A kind of awkward pause, like he doesn't really know what to say. He's been kind of out and about, mostly training and not interacting too much lately, after all--mostly coping, though he probably wouldn't admit to it like that]

I was just wondering how everyone was doing. Anyone up for a spar, maybe? Um- Or a supply run?

[Locked to Haru |50% Unhackable|]

...Are you okay? Since... she left again and-- Yeah. I wanted to check...

Uh... yeah. I could show you. There are sometimes monsters around though. Are you armed?

[...]

Country? ~~Oh, Agni, not another one.~~

Um, yes. I have a katana I could bring.

..Yes, a country. [Uh-oh, he hears that tone.]

If you are... associating me with Denmark-san, America-san, or Russia-san, I ask that you stop. I am quite different from any other country, actually, even though I am modernizing.

Okay. I have swords too.

...yeah. America. He's kind of a pain.

You, too? That's nice to hear, somehow. Most have switched to guns, though I cannot say I'm very comfortable with them just yet..

..Ah, America-san means well.

Guns are... weird. I'm not even really sure how they work...

I'm sure he meant perfectly well by insulting my country.

...oh. I'm Zuko, by the way.

I felt the same for a long while. It became necessary for me to learn the basics, however, I still prefer my old ways.

...Um, America-san is very.. blunt and opinionated, but he is a good person at heart. If he insulted your country, it was either one he is at war with, one he does not understand, or he did not intend to insult it. ...May I ask what your country is?

It is nice meeting you, Zuko.

The Fire Nation.

..I am sorry to say I am unfamiliar with such a nation.

Most of the people here come from different worlds. It's not surprising.

And exactly why America's various assumptions were annoying.

It is how he is.. though he means well, honestly. Um, he also assumes things about me.

Perhaps I've grown used to it.

I haven't. And I don't appreciate it.

[grumblesigh]

Honestly, I don't even get your guys's 'I'm a nation' thing.

If you would like, I can speak to him. Though honestly, I cannot promise it will help. I can try.

Ah, it may be complicated for a human to understand. We are tied to our respective nations both psychologically and physically. Each of my citizens are essentially a piece of me..

It would be far too time consuming to explain the specifics.

Don't bother. I get the feeling no amount of 'speaking to' from anyone can help him.

...yeah.

So not like the symbolic 'I am the nation' of a ruler?

Mm. No. Our "rulers" are our bosses. They.. rule us, in a sense. Instruct us, guide us..

And if the country suffers from these decisions, we feel it physically.

Um, how can I explain.. Economical crisis would bring about a cold.. Wars bring about wounds and fighting.

...so you're like... an allegory of a country? Physically?

[wtf, man :| ]

I suppose that is one way of looking at it.

It's difficult to explain properly and fully, though.

[He means the conflicts of being both human and country sobsob. Let's not go there.]

[It's okay. Zuko's confused enough .__. ]

Um... right.

Jeez, and I thought I had a lot on my plate being Fire Lord.

Oh, are you a leader figure in your nation?

Yeah. Fire Lord. Like-- like emperor, mostly.

Ah..! Is that so? [Silly Japan is worried he has not been formal enough. And.. wonders about his age.]

You sound so young, though..

[lol if he tried being more formal, Zuko would tell him to stop anyway, so it's okay, Japan. Really.]

I'm seventeen.

It seems a bit young to rule a nation... Although in history, there have been many younger..

[He's admiring your youth. 8|]

Not really. I've been an adult for over a year now.
