#avatar jee

Iroh laughed about burning a kingdom to the ground.

And Jee was a mere lieutenant.

Correct me if I'm wrong, of course, but as far as I am aware:

They're junior or commisioned officers who work in law enforcement and serve a critical link between senior command and frontline personnel.

Their jobs are usually managing soldier welfare, training, and mission execution while translating strategic orders into actionable tasks.

Yes, he too was in the wrong, but I'm far more inclined to believe a Jee redemption (should we have gotten it) than I'd ever be in regards to Iroh.

A lieutenant is more likely to turn because he is closer to the blood. Iroh's too far up in the "tea and proverbs" cloud to feel the immediate grit of the war until it’s too late. Jee felt it every day.

Sokka meets Jee, who somehow survived, a few years after the end of the war. Probably in a seedy bar somewhere in a small earth kingdom town. They become friends (with benefits, of course.)

Have you considered: Jeekka?

We're always down for a seedy bar meet! Jee 100% survives the siege of the north, everybody knows that, so who's to say who he meets on his travels after. What would they make of each other? Would they ever share the roles they'd played in each others' pasts? And what would Zuko think when Sokka rolls up with this fine gentleman on his arm?
