Although an urge to attack had overcome Prince Zuko when he saw the Avatar, he held back. Risha had told him that there'd be no fighting under her roof. He knew his cousin's temper was deadly. The Prince of the Fire Nation remained calm. There was a distinct look of panic on his face that showed that he was fighting the need to attack the Avatar.

Aang created a tornado in the air with his hands. With extreme precision, he threw it at Zuko. He wasn't about to let his new friend get captured by the Fire Nation. Then Aang realized, Sokka was there too. Two of his friends were in danger. A massive gust of wind flew at the Prince. A shield of flames blocked the tornado and the gust. Though the flames were parted by the wind and air, Zuko was unharmed. "Avatar, we must have a temporary truce. This is not my choice. My cousin instructed that there would be no fighting in her home. Risha has befriended you and your Water Tribe companions. She even gave that one a grith coin," Zuko said disgusted.

"How do I know that you're--- Wait? Are you saying Risha's your cousin?" Aang was shocked.

Risha stepped toward Aang. "I would have told you all, but none of you seem to like Fire Benders. It's understandable that Sokka and Katara don't like Fire Benders; their mother was killed by one. Also, understandable for Aang; the Fire Nation is trying to capture him. There I was, all by myself, in the woods. How was I supposed to know if you'd turn your aggressions on me? Of course, when Sokka first said he was from the Water Nation, I almost attacked him," Risha admitted.

"Why would we attack you? You're not a Fire Bender. Just because you're the Prince of the Fire Nation's cousin, doesn't mean that you're from the Fire Nation. And, why did you almost attack me?" Sokka exclaimed.

"Perhaps, I should make some tea. Then you can explain everything, niece," an older voice said from outside the door.

"Uncle Iroh! You're here too!" Risha said, excited, "Good idea. You can make some tea. But fisrt, I need to change out of this robe. Then we can all sit down and exchange some stories. Like what happened to your face, Cousin? I mean no disrespect, but that eye that's surrounded by the scar is odd. The eye, it doesn't move when you move your other eye. There's, apparently, a lot of things that I have missed."

A/N: I noticed when I was watching The Blue Spirit, for like the 5th time, that Zuko's eye that is surrounded by the burn doesn't move. I still listened and watched the other stuff that was going on, but I consentrated on Zuko's eye. I didn't see it move. His normal eye would move, though. That's abnormal!
