Day 188
Who: Zuko and anyone!
Open: Open!
When: Day 188, morning
Where: Eastern Bastion
What: Tea time. =)
Format: I'll match.
Warnings: Honor.
It's not uncommon to find Zuko up at an early hour, but she usually spends the time doing something she considers productive--training or otherwise preparing for time on the Skyway. She doesn't leave herself much time for sitting and thinking, most days. She figures it's better that way, since her thoughts so easily turn negative. But this morning, she's trying her best not to let them.
She can be found seated cross-legged on the eastern side of the Bastion, just north of Dragonfield, watching the unaccountable sunrise with a cup of tea in hand. Actually, the whole set is with her, a plain but sturdy-looking earthenware pot and several more matching cups. She hasn't invited anyone to join her, but if any impromptu guests show up, she's decided to accommodate them. That's what her uncle would do, she's sure.

I might not know my path right now, but I still know who I am, and what I can do. That hasn't changed. It should be the same for you.

Rin visibly winces at that, drawing back from Zuko with a slow shake of her head.]
I don't know who I am. I dunno... if I ever really did.
no subject
You're Rin Okumura. A fire demon and daughter of Shiro. And you're a fighter, like me.
no subject
But Zuko was... mostly right. Ucchusma had asked her before leaving after the defeat of the Impure King what Rin was going to ultimately choose - demon or human. And she still didn't know.]
... then why am I still so scared?

[They've lost so much. The Calamity alone took away almost everyone she loved and cared about. The Skyway took away Night, and so many others.]
no subject
[Zuko is such an up person.]
But if you let that scare you so much that you don't even try, then failure is the only outcome.
no subject
I have tried, though! I went my whole life tryin' to do the right thing and all I ever did was fuck up!
no subject
You're going to keep trying to do the right thing, and so am I. Even if we screw it up.

[She's not sure what else to say. Pep talks are clearly not her specialty.
no subject
Right. Sorry.
no subject
[She just doesn't like to see Rin doubting herself like that. Zuko lifts one of her swords. The other girl seems a little emotional to be training.]
Do you want to get back to this later?

no subject
Tomorrow then.
no subject
Yeah. Tomorrow.
