Yuki relaxes some as he apologizes to her for being a little uneasy with her. She says, "It is okay Zuko. I am use to being treated harshly. So it is no big deal to get it from you." She watches him leave before turning to his uncle. She says with a bow, "I would like to have some tea but I must rest. I will be in my room if anyone needs me." She heads to her room and closes the door behind her.
Zuko spent the night in his room. The next day, his muscles are sore. But he still forced himself out of the bed and goes to the front of the boat where he watched the sunrise. He takes a deep breath and exhales some flames while doing so. He looks at the sun and thinks of the way his life use to be.
Yuki gets up and changes in some clean clothes and then goes to the kitchen to make some breakfast as she needed to eat before she trains. She sees a guard trying to treat a burn. She goes to his side and heals burn so he could get back to work and avoid any hardship with Zuko. Her eyes grow distant as she missed her mother.
Zuko started to roam the ship as he roamed form hall to hall. He then smelt something he had never smelt before the then walked to the kitchen and looks in and sees Yuki. "You do know that there is a cook on board and you don't have to cook your own meals." He leaned against the kitchen door and says, "The cook also gets really mad when someone else cooks in his kitchen."
Yuki looks at him with a smile and says, "No he isn't. I already asked him if I could make my own breakfast." She puts her sea fruit breakfast on the table. She then works on a meat for a source of protein. She says, "I made enough for three people if you want to try my sea fruit pancakes." She looks at him.
Zuko looks at her and says, "I guess I can give it a try." He looks at her and then says, "Why did you stay? You do know you could have backed out of this marriage after finding out I was banished and nobody would have blamed you." He walks over to the table and pulls her chair out and then sits down next to her.
Yuki sits down a moment and serves him first. She says, "I stayed because all my life our parents have talked about us marrying each other. And with everything that has happened and all that you have lost, I did not think you could take another loss. Plus I don't mind being away from my family. My mother has been living with her sister since I was four. Since she left my father has been beating me almost constantly. That's why I don't mind your rage. I figure you and I can heal each other of our pains."
