He turns and watches her as she slips out of his bed. He notices the scars on her are dark & deep. Iroh hopes one day June will trust him enough and talk about how they got there. They are not her only scars. She has them scattered everwhere but she never speaks of them.

He knew he loved her when he felt the rage build up in him at the thought of someone hurting her. He thinks she loves him but understands that she has taught herself not to love, not to give herself completely. He wonders if this because of her job or if something happened to her that shaped her that way. Probably a bit of both he decides.

He smiles as she quietly picks up her clothes. 'She's trying not to wake me,how cute'. He reminds himself to thank Toph again for playing matchmaker.

" Huh, I though I was more stealthy." June mumbles as she realizes Iroh is wide awake. " I've got a job out of town."

He knows she could be lying but he chooses to believe there is a job. Either way he will always be will not leave her as he believes others have. She has awakened many things in him that were long dead. Desire mostly. He burns for her.

She bends over and kisses him deeply and whispers '' Till next time."

Then as quickly as she comes into his life ,she leaves again. Just like she always does. And as always he is left with a satisfied smile on his face but an ache in his heart.
