Quote: "I just don't want to die without a few scars." --Fight Club (thanks to subdivided for the quote!)
The unmatched pair—one deceptively old, one painfully young—gave watch to the rising sun.
"This is foolishness, Prince Zuko."
"Honor is never foolish, Uncle."
"Bah. What has honor done for anyone, except get them killed? You are young. Your bruised ego will heal more easily than your scarred body."
"If the choice is between the coward's death and the honorable battle..."
"I am more concerned with your honorable death, boy."
"We'll all die someday." He turned his face to the sun, gold and crimson splashing across his pristine skin. "I just don't want to die without a few scars."
