Summary
He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”
When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.
“Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”
The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.
Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

Summary
“‘Love?’”
Lockwood might actually blush at that.
“Too much? Sorry, you seemed like you needed an escape and I thought…”
“It’s not bad,” she starts cautiously, “I just thought you’d go for something a bit more...posh.”
His hesitant expression turns to one of unrestricted amusement as he playfully retorts, “‘Love’ isn’t a posh enough term of endearment for you?”
(Or, 5 times Lockwood calls Lucy a term of endearment, and 1 time he gets it right)
