Zuko was a lot more trouble than Yue had bargained for. It seemed he enjoyed throwing himself into dangerous (potentially lethal) situations, which sent her scurrying through the Spirit World in an attempt to ensure his safety.
Like the dragons. Did he realize how hard it was to convince dragons not to eat him when, as a result of horrible family history and his own misdeeds, he definitely deserved to be eaten? Something made especially difficult when the spirit with influence over dragons (the Sun) refuses to help, saying it's her job, not his.
Honestly – Zuko needed to think before dancing with ferocious beasts!
At least the prison trip had been beneficial for her. As much as she disliked seeing him with another girl, it was nice to know things were running smoothly for Sokka and Suki. Both their auras brightened at the sight of one another, their bond amazingly strong for the short time they had known each other.
But the most interesting event at the Boiling Rock was Mai confronting Zuko.
It was wonderful – they argued and disagreed and misunderstood each other completely. She called him a traitor and a heartbreaker, refusing to let him explain his good intentions; he couldn't understand her anger or why she continued to side with Ozai (never mind the fact that it had taken him years to break free from his nation's brainwashing propaganda). They learned their differences and, though they would stubbornly deny it, incompatibility. It was the final push they needed to stay apart.
This, Yue decided, was a job well done.
Author's Notes: I'm a little iffy about the accuracy of how I described the Maiko confrontation in this, but - overall - I'm happy with how this turned out.
Hope you guys like it!
