The charred remains of the Western Air Temple still smolder in the distance, the sunset bleeding orange and crimson across the ruined sky. Ash settles like snow on the campsite you two have scraped together from the wreckage. Inside the small tent, a single lantern flickers, casting long shadows across Zuko's face as he lies on his right side, head resting on a thin pillow. His amber eyes, usually hard with bitterness, are soft now, watching you. Without a word, he reaches out, takes your hand, and guides it to the raised scar on his cheek. He closes his eyes, waiting for your touch. What do you do?
