Aang frowned. Ever since the fight he'd had with Jin, Kuzon had been withdrawn, keeping to himself in the lesser explored areas of the temple. Sure, he'd do his chores, let Aang or Katara know where he was at all times, and he'd come for meals, but other than that, he was practically a ghost. And so, Aang set out to find the young teen. Knowing the layout of this place like the back of his hand, Aang had no trouble finding the child in the upper courtyard. Landing beside him, Aang sat down.
"Katara says you had a fight with Jin yesterday. What set you off?"
"...He called me a bastard, Uncle Aang. But I'm not! I have a father...don't I?" Aang looked away, sighing as he nodded.
"Your father was the last Fire Lord, Zuko. I don't know if he's still alive, though. The last time I saw him, he was begging me to take care of you while he couldn't." Kuzon sighed steam, golden eyes saddened as he tossed a pebble into the canyon.
"I...I just wish I could have know my parents. I mean, you and Auntie Katara are great...but I just..." Aang wrapped an arm around Kuzon's shoulders, rubbing the boy's arm.
"I know, Kuzon. I know. I miss him too."
Heart's Note: MusicLover, Kuzon has Aang and Katara to take care of him, yes, but Aang and Katara also run an orphanage out of the Western Air Temple. That's why Kuzon was at the Orphanage.
