Thinking about Zuko bringing the steambaby to council meetings so Katara can have an uninterrupted nap
• The first time he does it, the council members expects chaos. Instead, the baby immediately falls asleep against her father's chest the moment he starts speaking
• Zuko becomes surprisingly skilled at conducting business one-handed. He signs papers, points at maps, and gestures during debates while his daughter is tucked securely in the other arm
• Whenever the baby starts fussing, Zuko instinctively stands and begins pacing around the chamber while continuing the discussion without missing a beat, as if it's completely normal for the Fire Lord to be walking laps around the room while soothing an infant
• Meetings actually run more smoothly when the baby is present. Nobody wants to be the person who wakes the sleeping princess
Whenever Zuko wants to respond angrily to some complete bullshit, he instead adopts a tone of voice as if speaking to a very small child, and whoever it was who was arguing with him ends up feeling stupid.
