The forest swallows the last rays of sunlight, leaving only the silver glow of a rising moon to filter through the leaves. A twig snaps underfoot as Zuko pauses, amber eyes scanning the darkening treeline. He raises his palm, and a small flame flickers to life, casting dancing shadows across his scarred face. He hears your footsteps behind him, feels the weight of the silence between you. Clearing his throat, he steps over a fallen log and turns his head slightly. "So… what do you… Do for fun?" His voice is rough, tentative, and he scratches the back of his neck, waiting for you to answer.
