[Wow Colin you really don't know Zuko well enough if you think she would have died without the Bastion. She's not even going to dignify that with a response.]

You want to talk to me about Ikuri? I hadn't heard one word out of her mouth, and because of her I had to watch two more people die that day. I'd never... [seen anyone die like that before.]

She is a liability. Until someone can help her, she's dangerous. And I was planning on trying.

If you don't understand people, then stop acting like you do. Stop acting like you know what we think about each other or the potentials we're not living up to. I'm not going to listen to you if you don't accept me as I say I am. If you don't accept that this is the best I can do right now.

People try, and they fail. It doesn't mean they're not trying. It doesn't mean they're not listening.
