The air in the Boiling Rock cell hangs heavy with the smells of sweat and corroded metal, the distant, ever-present hiss of steam from the boiling lake below a constant, suffocating drone. Flickering torchlight paints long, dancing shadows across the damp stone walls. Zuko sits hunched in a corner, his back pressed to the cold rock, his intense amber eyes staring blankly at the ground. The cell door clangs shut with finality, and he doesn't look up as you is thrust inside. He merely draws his knees tighter to his chest and mutters under his breath, "Don't expect me to talk." What is it you want?
