33 - [voice] Addressed to friends, but not bothering to lock it

[forged_anew]

I guess people are starting to collect more stuff for winter. UGH. I really need my chip out.

[sigh] What a pain. Hey, Sokka, you lived in all that snow. Ideas? How much firewood d'you think we'll need?

Might be time to go on another clothing and supply run too. Anyone need anything?

[ brb losing patience. But in more of a flustered than angry way, panic is go. ]

Zuko, I don't have time for this--

[ Have a few crashing noises in the background. Tripping over pets is painful. ]

[forged_anew]

Hey! You alright?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ grrr ow ow ow ]

I thought people didn't generally care about ingrates.

I'm fine. Ow.

[forged_anew]

[sigh]

I just meant you should be a little more grateful when people are doing you favors.

What happened? You sure you're okay?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Well, pardon me if I'm not particularly used to portraying kindness to lower beings.

[ No. Remorse. Whatsoever. ]

I tripped, Zuko. I'm perfectly fine.

[forged_anew]

[......]

Lower... what?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Is there a problem?

[forged_anew]

Yeah. What kind of "higher" being are you supposed to be then, if the Fire Lord qualifies as a lower one?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

...I am a Zilart. [ and he sounds damn proud of it, yes he does. ] You, on the other hand, are a Hume. Or "human," as you people seem to put it. Your political position does not affect your mortality; it is merely a title.

Does that answer your question?

[forged_anew]

So what? You'er immortal, is that it?

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ dammit Zuko, did ya have to bring that up? ]

Not entirely. You already know that.

[forged_anew]

[...OOPS. You got him angry >.> Also, Zuko fails at tact. Also, he does sound like he feels a little bad...]

...right.

[...]

But still, stop talking down to me.

...I'm not insulting you, if that's what has you so miffed. No one gets to choose who they are when they're born or created.

Besides, it's not as though any of it actually matters with this Altana-forsaken chip blocking off my power.

[forged_anew]

Right. Trust me, I know all about destiny.

[yes, he sounds bitter. B| ]

...guess so. In which case, you're limited to mortal rules like saying thank you when someone does something for you.

[okay, now that last part's a little more like light teasing]

1/2

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

I would expect so. You're a lot more competent than half the Humes I've had the misfortune of dealing with in my lifespan put together.

2/2

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

[ ...okay, that's it. 12-year-old mode is go! ]

Hey! Since when was that a rule?

[forged_anew]

Huh. I'll take that as a compliment.

[...omg, the cute. X3 Not that Zuko appreciates but... CUTE XDD]

Okay, fine then. Go get your own supplies if you're so high-being-like.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

Hey, you know I can't do that! I'm just a kid!

[forged_anew]

[snort]

Didn't you just get mad at me for reminding you of that? Anyway, I don't care if you're used to being a what-do-you-call-it, but people you're friends with will appreciate you being grateful. Just a heads-up on 'Hume' behavior.

[crystal-eyed.livejournal.com]

...heh. I'll have to keep that in mind, then.

[forged_anew]

Good.
