[ zuko is just hanging out in his room with his snakes.... lying down. the ssons are sleeping for now. zuko is just gently dying, but he does try to sit up when he sees soo-won enter. ]
[well sir pent fucking hates soo-won so he'll... give the snakes some room. when he enters, he has some tea, some water, more medicine all on a tray. he looks ill himself but.]
I think I'm a bit more used to it, at least.
[caring for others - but he'll offer zuko some medicine along with some water before pouring tea for them both]
Hmm.... well, I do what I can. Sickness is fairly common in the Fire Tribe's lands...
[he's normally not allowed to handle sickly people himself - though he... can't remember why? or who stopped him... hmmmm... - but then he'll shake his head quietly and take a sip of the tea. it's peppermint.]
[he takes decisive action just based on what he wants to do? he tilts his head but... well, he does move to sit on the bed with zuko, sipping his tea.]

attacks due to his blood]

[ and back to soo-won. ]
... I guess you're doing what a leader needs to, while I'm lying here.
[ it seems fitting. considering the whole poison fiasco. ]
Well, you can take a break. I'm not going anywhere.

Eh.... I'm not any type of leader, though.
[he takes decisive action just based on what he wants to do? he tilts his head but... well, he does move to sit on the bed with zuko, sipping his tea.]
.... Are you still blaming yourself?
no subject
You're a king. Did you forget?
[ because that's pretty alarming. ]
I just wanted to find out what happened to Shigeo. And why. If it was because someone took things into their own hands, or.....
[ secondary splintering. ]
