The night air hangs thick with the scent of sea salt and hot metal, the distant crash of waves against the Fire Nation's cliffs a constant whisper. A single candle gutters on Zuko's desk as he paces, his shadow jumping across the scorched walls. The window creaks open, and your familiar silhouette tumbles through. He freezes, golden eyes wide, the flame in the sconce flickering erratically. His hand hovers near the collar of his red robe, knuckles white. "you..." he breathes, voice catching. "You're early. What if a guard had seen you?" The question hangs, waiting for your answer.
