Feeling something wet and cold touching his face, Zuko opened his eyes to see a little, black puppy sitting on his chest with it's face near his, the puppy waged it's tail and yipped at Zuko. Zuko glared at the puppy, he moved to get sit up, the puppy moved off his chest and sat on the ground staring innocently at the prince, Zuko growled at the puppy. "Go away..."
Iroh, who was sleeping nearby, woke up when he heard Zuko yelling, he looked around the forest and had his eyes land on the puppy, Iroh smiled and got off from the where he was sitting. Walking over to Zuko and the puppy, he keeled down to look at the puppy better, he said nicely, "What a cute looking puppy!"
The puppy looked at Iroh and barked at him as it waged it's tail, Iroh petted it, and the puppy yipped happily. Iroh looked at Zuko and spoke, "Zuko, I think this puppy followed us from the village we left yesterday."
Zuko twitched and glared at the puppy, he growled out, "Why did it follow us?"
Iroh shrugged and grinned as the puppy woofed at the Fire Prince, he said laughingly, "I think it noticed you need some more companionship."
Zuko twitched violently and glared at Iroh and the puppy. "I don't need more companionship, Uncle." he turned to the dog and said annoyingly, "Go back to where you came from, dog."
Whimpering and sulking, the puppy stared at Zuko with sad puppy eyes, Shaking his head, Iroh scolded his nephew. "Now, Prince Zuko, do you really think this puppy can make it back to the town? I know you not that cruel." The Dragon of the West smiled at the puppy and said kindly, "We are going to have to take you with us, now what should we call you?"
Doing his best not to looking at puppy eyes, Zuko almost snorted smoke in anger and glared at his uncle. "Uncle, the puppy followed us from the village for few miles, I am sure it can find it's way back." he continued on with his little rant, "We aren't taking it with us!"
Seemly not hearing what Zuko just said, Iroh named the puppy, the puppy stopped being sad for a second and yipped happily at the old man. "You shall be called Honmungau."
You know when I said he almost snorted smoke out in angry? Well, now... smoke was coming out and look like he was about to shoot a fireball at his uncle, he shouted, "Uncle! Did you not hear me?"
Iroh looked up and was not surprise to see smoke around his nephew, he shook his head, "Sorry, Prince Zuko, I didn't hear you, I was naming Honmungau."
The puppy ,now named Honmungau, looked up curiously at the hands that are now on fire, the puppy moved near the Fire Prince and rubbed it's head on his leg as it yips at him, Ingoring the puppy, Zuko glared and growled out, "Uncle, we can't take Hon-The puppy with us!"
Iroh gave Zuko the puppy eyes, and said sadly, "Why not? It might help you with your training..."
The puppy joined the uncle in doing the powerful puppy eyes, Zuko twitched and sighed, "All Right."
Iroh smiled and the puppy waged it's tail and yipped happily at Zuko.
