Zuko was not pleased with his current situation.

After all, it wasn't like he intended to be sitting in a fortuneteller's hut. He didn't even believe in such nonsense.

Yet there he sat, a fortuneteller gripping both of his hands as she stared intently at his face. The only reason Zuko hadn't shoved her away as she dragged into her hut was because his uncle's various teachings told him not to. Though he did a very poor job of showing it, Zuko respected and appreciated his uncle's advice greatly.

Deciding that it was the least he could do for his imprisoned uncle, Zuko had allowed himself to be taken into the hut, and sat patiently as the woman stared, wide-eyed, at his face.

"Blue eyes!" She suddenly exclaimed, excitement and wonder etched onto her face.

Because she had been staring at his own eyes, Zuko had though perhaps the woman was colour blind. After all, his eyes were clearly not blue, and someone would have to have vision problems to think otherwise.

But he quickly realized she was not referring to his eyes when she said, "Yes, yes, a beautiful blue eyed wife! And a home in the mountains where you'll have dozens of children…"

By then she was no longer staring at Zuko, and was instead looking at the wall just past his shoulder. She continued speaking, her eyes getting a far away look. "And a circus! Oh, a wonderful circus! You'll all perform as acrobats and jugglers…"

It was at that point that Zuko silently left. He did not feel comfortable sitting in a hut with a woman who was clearly out of her mind, and no nagging from his uncle would have convinced him to stay.

So he left the hut and the town, vowing never to speak of the experience again.

It wasn't until several months later, when he lay awake and watched his wife's sleeping form, that Zuko actually remembered the event.

Though none of her other predictions came true, the fortuneteller was right about one thing; he had married a beautiful, blue eyed wife.


Author's Notes: I decided to update again, since I haven't updated as often as I should, and I won't be able to update quite so often when school starts. D: Yeah, kinda sucks. I should still be able to update at least once a week, though...
