The tour had been amazing for Zuko, and he didn't regret a single day spend on it… Sadly. For every day he had been away more paperwork had been added to his big pile.

And Zukos own politic of never signing off on something he hadn't read sure came back to bite him in the ass big time.

He hated to admit it, but it was easy to understand why most other leaders would have a group of assistants going over papers for them, give a short summary verbally and just have the leader sign off on it.

The issue was of course… Even these assistants would get lazy and barely even read the papers.

The people who crafted the papers would make them deliberately long, boring and confusing to slip things in there that wasn't supposed to be there, and no one was going to know before it was to late.

So often when Zuko read over a paper which was nothing but bullshit nonsense probably written that way to mask the real agenda, he had to send it straight back and say he wasn't going to sign anything before they could use clear language in the document.

Zuko was convinced that at least two thirds of these words had been made up solely to confuse people, and create the illusion that those who had written the words were smart.

Zuko groaned deeply as he put another document in the pile of. "Get back to me when you can write things that makes sense." and sighed deeply.

Just as the door smacked open and a huge gust of wind send all of the papers flying all across the study.

"ZUKOOOOO!" Aang shouted.

"AANG!" Zuko grabbed his hair. "You… You… DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK TO ORGANIZE THOSE?!" he shouted.

"Oh… Sorry." Aang blushed. "But you gotta come see this!" he shouted as he grabbed Zukos arm. "Come on! Come on!"

"Hey!" Zuko exclaimed as he was pulled forward nearly falling flat on his face as he stumbled due to Aangs pull.

"I'll help you re-organize just come look! Pleeease!" Aang asked and Zuko sighed deeply.

"Fine." Zuko muttered and Aang grinned as he pulled Zuko all the way outside, and then towards the newly opened and cleaned up dragon stables.

Oh… Druk had done something… Probably.

And then they stepped forward only to be met by quite a sight which made Zuko halt.

"Isn't that just adorable?!" Aang asked in a squeal and Zuko had to nod.

Yeah… It kind of was.

Cause right there in front of them was Appa, fast a sleep, he was not alone though there was a young dragon wrapped around him, burying himself into Appas fur. And then there was a flying Lemur sleeping on Appas head as well as a turtle duck sitting right on top of all of it, looking like the cherry on an ice-cream… Also sleeping.

Zuko blinked. "Okay you're right… That is adorable." he had to admit.

Aang tilted his head. "Do you think they know how to communicate with each other somehow? They have a live on their own behind our backs?"

Zuko shrugged. "I dunno." he said then yawned deeply.

Aang looked up at Zuko.

"I didn't get much sleep last night." Zuko muttered. "A lot of documents were labelled urgent!"

"Were they actually urgent?" Aang asked.

"For the most part no." Zuko muttered. "People think they are so smart that they can get in front of the line by doing that… Which is extra shit cause that mean the actually urgent issues will be delayed too."

"I know what you need." Aang stated.

"A nap?" Zuko asked.

And Aang grinned.


Half an hour after, a young water bender was squealing as she saw it. A ball of animals wrapped up in each other… And then there was an air bender and a young fire lord also added to the pile, sleeping deeply while being part of the pile.

"I have to draw this! This is too good!" Sokka grinned.

"Erhm. Zuko has a meeting in half an hour." Zhau-Li pointed out. "We kind of need too."

"Don't you dare!" Katara hissed. "Do not wake them."

"I'm with Katara." Mai smirked.

Then there was silence.

"Is it weird we are all just standing here looking at them?" Zhau-Li asked.

The rest just shrugged. "Eh."
