Zuko sat there and pretended to meditate after he finished meditating. He was proud of himself he gave advice like uncle does and he didn't screw it up. He felt a hand on his shoulder. He turns and sees his uncle his uncle smiles and says, "The story also counts for fire." His uncle then turns and walks away. Zuko looked up understanding but in denial.
Yuki looks at the two of them once she is done with practicing and says, "About time I figure out how to do that water shield." Her eyes lighting up with joy and a strong sense of pride. She looks at Uncle and smiles inwardly before looking up at the sky. She had to wait another month or so to be at her peak.
Zuko looks at her and says softly, "Water shield what would you do something like that?" He looks around a little confused. Uncle puts his hand on Zuko's shoulder and says, "Maybe if you ask Yuki she will tell you." Zuko looks at her and says, "I think I will just wait to see her do it."
Yuki sighs and goes down below to get a drink to help her focus. She finds some weird looking drinks. She decides to make some raspberry tea to drink. She breathes in some as the smell of raspberries fill the air. She smiles some as the tea is done and pours some in a cup for her to drink. She sits down and sips her tea slowly.
Zuko sits on the deck and then stands up and says, "Uncle I think I will go to bed." He pats his uncle's shoulders and then walks into the stair way and up to his room. Uncle turns and goes down below to tell Yuki. Uncle smells the tea and says, "Wow you make an excellent tea." He smiles and says, "May I have some." He then says, "Oh yes I am suppose to tell you Zuko went off to bed."
Yuki smiles and pours Uncle some tea before sitting back down and finishing her own. "My mother always tells me that a respectable bride should always be able to make her husband something that will calm any troubled mind. So I mastered in tea making." She closes her eyes slightly as she thinks for a moment. "I should go to sleep soon myself but a storm is coming soon and I have trouble sleeping during any type of storm."
Uncle smiles and says, "I am a skilled artist I can play many instruments. But the best is my horn he smiles and says, "I use to play it for my nephew after the lost of his mother he had trouble sleeping." He smiles and says, "This may be a terrible war but it has brought me and him closer together and for that I am thankful." He frowns and says, "I know this sounds terrible because it is very selfish but Zuko has taken to me like another son he is like the one I lost and he treats me like a father from time to time." He smiles and pats her shoulder and says, "You should get some sleep."
