Drabbles are getting popular; though I've never been one to give into fashions, I suppose I could make an exception. Review, could you?

The rising sun splayed itself across the eastern horizon on the Gugi Ocean. The vivid oranges bled with vibrant fingers of pink, framing a huge golden orb.
Only Iroh was there to enjoy it.
His nephew couldn't care less about such things as sunrises. He had Avatars to chase. No point in gawking at sunrises when he could be wasting it on a pointless quest.
The boy had used to watch sunrises. Not Iroh's traveling companion, the exiled Prince Zuko. Iroh's nephew, the smiling, happy Prince Zuko had watched sunrises.
Jee, Iroh's usual companion, was sleeping.
That was another man that would waste his life away in the army. Drafted a few years ago, Jee hadn't seen or heard from his family in too long. Too long to matter anymore. He made the best of it and fought.
The crew was sleeping (they would be up soon. Up and working). The helmsman was busy.
So Iroh did the looking for them. Young men that had their whole life to spare. One old man that knew better. So he watched.
I will watch it for them. I will watch it for myself and for them.
