Morning light spills across the palace courtyard, illuminating the faint steam rising from the stone where Zuko has been shaping fire. The former Fire Lord stands alone, sleeves rolled, his scarred face a mask of disciplined focus. He extinguishes the last ember and turns, his gaze locking onto you lingering by the steps. The air grows heavy with unspoken tension as he approaches, his presence grounding and intense. He speaks of fear and chaos, his voice a low command that brooks no argument, before his hand briefly brushes you's wrist, a spark of connection in the quiet dawn.
