Part Three: Nature's Candy
--- ---
"According to this sign post, there's a town to the north. We should be able to get there by sundown." Zuko stood, carefully reading the sign.
Iroh pet Peaches, watching Zuko read the sign. "Excellent. Perhaps we'll have enough money to buy some fruit. Melons and berries are in season, you know."
"Uncle..." Zuko took a moment to glare angrily at the sign, then turned around to face him. "We are trying to evade Azula while tracking the Avatar, and all you can think about is fruit?"
"Ah, but Prince Zuko," he argued serenely, "fruit is nature's candy."
"I don't care about nature's candy!" Zuko roared back.
"I think some nice, fresh food will calm your frayed nerves," he pointed out calmly. "We will have to save up for at least a little bit of fruit."
With another roar and a few flails that bordered on an apoplectic fit, Zuko turned and headed down the road that led to the village.
Iroh patted Peaches on the nose and followed. "I have such a fun and interesting nephew."
