Summary: Prompt - Iroh comes aboard Team Avatar.
"I suppose I won't be staying in a suite," an amused voice rang out through the large underground hideout.
The four of them turned.
"Iroh!" gasped Korra as her face suddenly lit up. She got up from the table and went to him, throwing her arms around his neck. "You got here fast," she told him before pulling away to look into his sharp gold eyes.
"Well, how could I let you destroy the bad guys without me? It was always our thing," he sighed, crossing his arms over his chest. "You've grown so much since the last time I saw you."
"The last time you saw me, I was twelve." She rolled her eyes and stared at him. "Which reminds me, you owe me an Agni Kai."
His pearly whites shined. "I haven't forgotten, little Avatar. I would never give up the honor."
Korra smiled and blinked when she heard someone clearing her throat. She turned around and jumped when Mako was standing right there.
"Korra," breezed Iroh. "You've forgotten to introduce me to your friends. He stepped forward and bowed. "My name is Iroh. Crowned prince of the Fire Nation."
The color seemed to blanch from Mako's face. "Oh-" He bowed hastily. "-sir."
He chuckled. "Sir makes me sound much older. Iroh will just be fine."
"Bolin, sir! Earthbender. Big fan," nodded Bolin excitedly as he bowed. "Never met royalty before."
Iroh raised an eyebrow. "Fire Ferrets. I always listened to your matches with a good cup of tea."
Bolin's jaw dropped. Korra couldn't help but smile faintly. She looked over at Asami and then back at Iroh. "Iroh! This-" She tugged on Asami's arm and pulled her toward them. "This is Asami."
The nonbender looked at him and gave him a bow. "Prince Iroh," she greeted gently, meeting his eyes.
"Asami," he tried it on his tongue before taking her hand and kissing it. It wasn't a traditional greeting, but it had Asami blushing like a mangoberry. "Now-" He pulled back and straightened up. "How about we have a cup of tea and talk things over?"
"I suppose you'll be making it," said Korra innocently.
"Of course. Spirits know that you couldn't make a good cup to save your life."
