Dim Sum

Dim Sum is always served with tea. They are tiny portions with endless variety and come with the occasional dose of crack. Drabble series; standard spoiler alerts apply. The kitchen is open.

He didn't like Prince Zuko. He would probably never like the Prince. He was too arrogant by half, and impatient enough to endanger any person he chanced to meet. He was far too young to be out in the world on a suicide mission.

General Iroh lavished affection on the boy, but every enlisted man on this floating wreck knew that sooner or later Prince Zuko would kill himself. Whether or not it would be intentional, only time could tell; and it would be far from the truth to say Jee wished the Prince harm. He never asked more of his crew than he was himself willing to do, but he was always pushing too hard.

Without question, serving with General Iroh was a great honor no matter the circumstances. And the tea was a bonus.
