    Summary

    He hates that he was banished. He hates that nothing is the same anymore. He hates that all he got for it was the permanent reminder marked into the side of his face. A pair of stupid weights tied to his back. Blind in one eye and half his hearing gone.

    Twisting his head, Zuko glares over his shoulder at the broad sweep of crimson skin and scales folded against his back. Reaching back again, softer, he latches onto that same hook. He stretches it out instead of shoving it, and spreads it the length of his arm. It’s only slightly longer, small in terms of wingspan, but Uncle says he’ll grow into it.

    They shift slightly as Zuko curls further into himself, brushing together with a soft rustle. He hates them.
