Zuko's been gone for way too long, I'm going to go looking for him. If anyone knows something about where he went, please let me know.

I'm going to search the city for a friend. I'm not sure it's the best idea to go alone, but he's just been gone for too long, and I'm not going to wait any longer. If anyone has the time to come with me, I'd really appreciate it, but don't feel obligated. Thanks for listening, guys.

I've got time. I'm not on watch right now so I can go with you if you want.

[Private]

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Thanks Seifer, it'd be a great help.

[Private]

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

No problem. Might as well do something productive around here...

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

After what happened before, going out alone might just be a bad idea, Jackie.

... I'll come with you, and not just because I have time to either.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Yeah I know...

Thank you Utena. Seifer agreed to come as well, so if it's easier I can meet the two of you in front of Gohl?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Heh. I kind of had an idea that you would.

You don't have to thank me. ...and that sounds like a good plan to me! I'll be right there.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

He said he went on some journey I believe.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

A journey?

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

For self enlightenment perhaps.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

I know he said he needed to think...

I think he's been gone long enough. I'm going to go and bring him back. Or at least try...

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

If he's hurt somewhere, slug him one for me.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

No problem, ah, I'm sorry, my name is Jaqueline, or Jackie for short.

I'm sure there are quite a few people who owe him slugs, mind telling me which person this particular one is from?

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Ah, forgive my impoliteness. I'm Hatsuharu, or Haru is fine too. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

It's alright, we both have other things on our mind.

It's nice to meet you Haru.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I apologize for him giving you trouble.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Don't worry about it, it's not your responsibility, Haru.

To tell you the truth, it's my fault too...I said some things that I probably shouldn't have said to him.

[She sighs.]

I'll just feel much better when he's here, and back to normal...and in punching distance.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

He probably doesn't want to look at me for a while, but I feel the same as you.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Why wouldn't he want to look at you, Haru?

STUPID LJ DONT EAT MY COMMENTS

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

He feels guilty I guess.

IT'S OKAY I WAS CONFUSED CAUSE MY EMAIL SHOWED ONE XDDD <3

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Oh I see. Something happened between you two during...I'm sorry it's not really my business.

Something similar happened between myself and a friend...

[She doesn't have to ask the circumstances of the fight, because when she spoke with Zuko, it was quite obvious that he hadn't been the one to take a lot of damage from his friends.]

That idiot...I told him he was just going to worry people by running off...

why must lj be such a jerk face ;A;

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

It's fine. I told him he had nothing to apologize for, because it wasn't his fault, but I guess it's hard for him to let go.

/whacks lj It's okay! <333

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I told him the same...I've been telling a lot of people that recently...

I understand that...in the world I come from something similar happened to me once. I hurt my friends because I was under the influence of something.

It was hard to forgive myself, but then...my friends forgave me so easily...I guess it gave me a different perspective on everything that happened here this week.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of used to it. I guess I have what you'd call a split personality, and it only comes out when I'm stressed or upset.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

That sounds tough. I can see how that would make you used to it though.

I guess that's one of the amazing things about friendship...our fault or not, when we mess up, our friends forgive us.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Like I told Zuko, it's pointless to hold a grudge. They don't solve anything or make anything better. It doesn't take that pain off your heart.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's really nice to hear that from someone, Haru.

Really, really nice...

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

If I held a grudge and hatred for every little thing that's happened to me, my heart would be a dark place and unfit for having friends.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Mmm, the same is true for me.

I haven't really met many of Zuko's other friends here, but I'm happy he's friends with someone like you.

I bet you keep him in line when he gets too down on himself.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I usually piss him off, but that tends to work.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

[that certainly made her laugh.]

This, I have to see sometime.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Try calling him princess, or Prince charming.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

[More laughter from her line, and it's nice because she hasn't had anyone to laugh with in a while.]

I think, I'll have to try this.

[Just the thought of doing so makes her chuckle again.]

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Trust me. He'll love it.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Haru. I bet.

I'm going to take off now to go and find him. It was great talking to you.

And don't worry, I'll punch him from the both of us.

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate that. I do hope we converse again some other time.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

Me too, I'm sure we will.

[suprstarmeister.livejournal.com]

...Watch yourself out there.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

I will, thanks Black*star.

[suprstarmeister.livejournal.com]

No sweat.

And we'll have a proper spar when you're up for it, with nothing to mess it up.

[loyal-inferno.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to it.
