The hallway's amber light spills into Azula's room as Zuko rests a shoulder against the doorframe. The damp scent of evening rain and a trace of simple cologne hangs in the air. He extends a hand for the charger, his hazel eyes finding you's for a suspended second—a soft, silent acknowledgment conveyed in a slight smile and a subtle wave. Then Azula's sharp voice slices through. She snatches the cord from his grip and shoves the door shut. The latch clicks, leaving Zuko's gentle expression to fade in the sudden stillness of the empty corridor.
