... It's not like that. I want you there. I know you'd have my back.. and I'd have yours.
[ i'm making you have this gay talk while soo-won's a formal cowboy. ]
[ also zuko has to argue with a snake? but eventually he'll get his shirt and fang off, and wow his arms and torso are... bruised! quite bruised! semi-faded by this point, but it's not great. there's definitely a few cracked ribs there. ]
[nothing kills me more than the fact that i have to write cowboy dialogue during this sweet and tender moment]
I'm with you - where else would I ever want to go? I'm yours until the cows come home.
[but he doesn't seem to mind that though, instead letting zuko take his hand but he'll go turn to gather the medical supplies again - there's probably one of those ice packs and he'll move to wrap it in a cloth before holding it to one of zuko's bruises]
[ zuko does, too, and makes sure their fingers are intertwined again. his heart is heavy, but when they're together like this.... it alleviates some of the pressure. just having soo-won close. ]
That's... what I thought. I don't see why anyone would kill a child, otherwise.

[ but. sighs. it was only a matter of time.... who knew physical exertion when you're injured would reveal said injury? ]
Yona, Izumo and I went into the mines on Tuesday. Before you say anything... both Yona and I had to keep Izumo out of trouble, more than either of us.
[ but zuko knows he's in trouble. there's a snake in his shirt.... but there's a snake in the boot of his heart. ]
no subject
[that said he doesn't seem mad - it seems like once he hears the names, it makes a little more sense to him why he wasn't invited.]
Then that bit of hard work probably smarted like a rattlesnake took a bite of you, didn't it? Let me survey your injuries.
no subject
[ he sounds pretty apologetic about that, in any case. ] Izumo wanted to go off her own, too.... without a weapon.
[ grimaces. ]
[ also grimaces at the continued cowboy talk, and the fussing. ]
Fine. Just... give me a second to get Fang out.
[ he knows he can't refuse soo-won, at least! ]
no subject
[huh.
he'll at least wait for zuko to do that though, otherwise just working on building up a continued collection of medical supplies]
You have my gratitude for keeping a look out for both of them.

sipp is literally forcing me into the plot of brokeback mountain that's my assumption for what's going on
but he's going to smile a bit at that, touched, even as his hand reaches out to curl at zuko's jaw.]
.... that's not what I'm questioning, but hearing you say it does settle my heart some.
Though I do reckon we ought to be getting you some ice and rest.
no subject
[ zuko brings his hand to rest on top of soo-won's, fingers intertwining. he leans closer, too. ]
Good.
... Just don't go anywhere.

Let's hope they never come, then.
[ i fucking hate this. anyway, zuko will make himself comfortable, as long as soo-won's not going too far. ]
no subject
[but at least he’s honest? apparently he’s chill hanging out here for a while until zuko is more rested up
he won’t even suggest that he put his shirt back on but maybe he should]
How are you feeling - given all the commotion?
no subject
[ well, at least he's resting and getting iced? ]
..... I don't know. I think we missed a lot, this time. We're already behind... and I'm worried about Xie Lian.
[ hikaru is missing and they were close, after all. ]
no subject
It's true. This week has been quite a weight upon his shoulders - no two ways about it.
[he looks a bit worried himself, but he'll move to sit next to zuko and lean lightly against him, encouraging the other to rest against him too]
Though someone brought it to my attention.... Hikaru was likely suffering a splintering nova problem after sundown.

I'm all out of ideas on that front as well, partner.
[though he'll accept the intertwined hands rather easily, giving zuko's hand a reassuring squeeze as much as he can]
We'll have to discern how many people we're looking for tomorrow and round 'em up.
