Ba Sing Se had certainly made its own mark on him.
The Impenetrable City.
After his failed siege, after the death of his son, the city took pity on him and whisked his feelings up into the smoke from the war.
He was as impenetrable as the walls he had attempted to bring down. As impenetrable as the line of Earth Kingdom soldiers that took his son away.
The Dragon of the West was never the same.
Until his young nephew stumbled over his feet as he was leaving the courtyard and asked him whether he was pregnant like mommy because his stomach was so big.
That was the first day Iroh began smiling again.
