p class="MsoNormal"Today's the day. Well one of them anyway. Iroh and I went to talk to Zuko before he left. Zuko was now dressed in plain grey clothes, preparing a canoe to be lowered into the water, as we entered the area. "If you're fishing for an octopus, my nephew, you need a tightly woven net, or he will squeeze through the tiniest hole and escape." Iroh advised. Zuko replied looking out to sea, "I don't need your wisdom right now, Uncle." Iroh then walking towards Zuko with me behind him said, "I'm sorry, I just nag you because, well, ever since I lost my son..." Iroh looked away, pain was evident on his face. span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /span"Uncle, you don't have to say it." Zuko stated. Just thinking about the loss of Lu Ten was painful for all of us. He was a great friend to me. "I think of you as my own. Both of you." Iroh said including me to his sentiment./p
p class="MsoNormal"I hug him tightly before releasing him. Zuko turned to us, a genuine look of concern and understanding was on his face. "I know, Uncle." Zuko said before he bowed and saluted to Iroh with his arm over chest. "We'll meet again..." But before he could continue Iroh rushed forward and gave him a bear hug. Once released of his Uncle I then hugged him too. I kissed him passionately. A see you later kiss. Then I too released him./p
p class="MsoNormal"Zuko walked over to the canoe. "...after I have the Avatar." Zuko finally finished his sentence. He got into the canoe and began to lower it to the water. "Remember your Breathe of Fire! It could save your life out there!" Iroh stated. Zuko replied, "I will." Iroh then shouted out, "And put your hood up, keep your ears warm!" Zuko who was now far below his uncle said, "I'll be fine." I rushed towards then edge of ship and shout to Zuko, "Be safe, I love you!" He shouted back up, "I will. Take care my fire lily, I love you too!" span style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanIroh looked worried as he watched his nephew depart. Zuko finally reached the water and started his mission. All Iroh and I could do is pray to the spirits that he will be safe./p
