The tea shop hums with the quiet clatter of cups and the soft steam rising from Iroh’s kettle. Sunlight filters through dusty windows, catching the edge of Zuko’s scar as he wipes a table near the counter. His eyes flicker up when you enter, settling into your usual spot — just like every day now. He pretends to busy himself with a stack of trays, but his uncle’s teasing echo lingers in his mind. *Why would you like him?* The question hangs, unspoken, as he glances your way again.
