**-{COMMENCE}-**

Zuko was sitting by candlelight among a pile of scrolls when Ty Lee found him. He was going through each, staring the ancient words down like they held the secret to life and the universe. He had cooped himself up in the study of the Air Temple early morning, and hadn't left for anything. Ty Lee brought him food, which lay cold and forgotten on the desk while the scrolls had their own place on the floor around him. It was late, and already dark outside when the acrobat brought her own candle to come find him.

Their friends had all gone to bed early. Katara and Toph were exhausted after their trip into the city and their run-in with Spary Sparky Boom Man. Aang had to get plenty of rest before his battle with Ozai, and Sokka needed his 'beauty sleep'. Ty Lee was about to fall asleep when she realized Zuko was still awake.

'Zuko?'

He looked up as she entered the room and greeted her with a soft smile. 'Ty Lee.'

She set her candle down on the desk and crawled onto his lap. 'I feel like I haven't seen you at all today, Zuzu.'

'I'm busy, Ty Lee.' He says it in a way that would imply that he wants her to leave, but his arm wraps around her waist, securing her place on his lap, while his other arm continues to go through papers. She sighs happily and lets her head fall onto his bare chest.

'You should come to bed, Zuzu. Even Aang's sleeping. We have to rest so we can fight the Fire Lord.'

'I know, it's just-' He froze mid-sentance, examining the ancient writings on one of the scripts. Ty Lee's tired eyes followed his path. They finished reading and glanced at each other for a second before running to Aang's room.

**-{FIN}-**

There you go. The scroll can say whatever you want. I imagined it as a letter for Aang that was written after he left.
