Strange Things
"You know," General Iroh of the Fire Nation mused. "I always wanted to be a pirate."
Prince Zuko opened one bewildered eye.
"Uncle, you have said many strange things in the past- but that is one of the strangest."
Iroh shrugged.
"You also said that when I mentioned I wanted to open my own tea shop."
Zuko opened his other, slightly less, bewildered eye.
"Alright; this is the second strangest."
"But what about-"
"Fine!" Zuko scowled. "It's just one of the many strange things you have said. Happy?"
Iroh grinned. "I'm always happy. Especially so at the moment, because…" He reached behind him- "I got this!"
He had pulled out a pirate hat. Zuko slapped a hand to his forehead. Iroh placed it on his head proudly.
"There! Doesn't it look dashing?"
"Erm…"
"You're just jealous." Iroh chuckled, elbowing his nephew playfully in the ribs. Zuko looked disdainfully at the hat. Then he frowned.
"Uncle, you've always taught me that stealing is wrong." He said, accusingly. Iroh looked slightly sheepish.
"I found it on the ground."
"Uh-huh."
"Honestly!"
"Of course."
There was a pause as Zuko closed his eyes again and went back to his thinking. Iroh stood up and went to the door, when he heard a voice come from behind him.
"I always wanted to be a pirate, too."
