"I came across a fallen tree. I felt the branches of it looking at me. It reminded me of the tree you sat at in Ba Singh Se back home." Zuko thought back. "I know it was a place of mourning yet it reminded me of how I couldn't have survived with you Iroh." He admitted. Feeling a little sentimental.

Zuko got out of his car, notifying his driver to wait. He had woken up on the street a few hours ago, feeling weak but managed to get home. Unsure what had happened, he imagined he just passed out and needed to get to work, so he changed, called his car and went to work. Unaware of what was going on around him. He opened the door and it nearly opened into someone. "My apologies." He said to the other.

"Uncle!" Out of habit Zuko bowed to his uncle. Despite their issues for a bit Iroh was more of a father than his own father had ever been. Zuko would have never survived without him. "I didn't realize you were here too. It's good to see you again." He did manage a smile.

Zuko needed some time out of the castle walls. He needed to see Iroh, spend some time with his family. He managed to sneak away from Suki. He appreciated her but needed some time for family. He'd probably go find Katara afterwards as well. "Uncle." He smiled as he pushed the door open. "it's good to see you Uncle."

Zuko was useless at cooking, he was trying and he did want to do well but this was just not for him. So he'd do what his uncle asked him to do. He was trying to focus and didn't see the tears in his uncle's eye at first. He looked up and was shocked to see the emotion on his uncle's face but managed a smile. "I missed you too uncle. Very much." He nodded. It was nice to have these moments with him again. "Not much really. Aang and I built a business together here, we found each other first out of everyone. We help people, basically. Recently found Katara, Toph, Ty Lee. I've seen Lu ten as well. So that's been good but also Azula is here."

As per usual Zuko was working late, even at home. He was at least on his choice instead of his desk. At the knock on the door he glanced up. "Come in, it's open." He imagined it was Lu Ten, Iroh, Aang or Katara. He needed to finish this proposal by tomorrow.

"Thank you so much for doing that." Fleur looked over at Iroh. She had been so busy and running around that them doing that one favour was immensely helpful. "If you hadn't helped I never would have gotten around to doing that."
