#rum?

I honestly don't really know. I keep asking Zuko and Iroh, but so far they've been very tight-lipped. I'm hoping getting them tipsy will make them chattier, though.

I heard my parents arguing, so I hid behind the door to listen. Mother was angry because Father wanted to purchase rum, from the mass of rum distilleries (what does that even mean) that had sprung up. She wanted him to save money for more important things. Father was saying that it was important business for the town to continue consuming to improve the economy. I don’t think I understood any of what they were saying, but what are your thoughts on their argument Mr. Tumblr? (and please explain).
