“Hello little turtleduck. Are you hungry? I did bring you a snack! Here you go!
Oh, you have a friend! Would you like some too? You have lovely feathers. The dark brown looks nice. I have a friend with hair that color. Different style, though. Where you have the stripe on each side, she has these two loops with beads. And her nose is wider than your beaks. Noses can have a lot of character. Hers is a nice one. She’s even more graceful with water than you two. I know, I know, it’s hard to believe, but you’re just used to people of the Fire Nation is all. Okay! Yes, you can have more!
She’s a waterbender. That’s why she’s so graceful. She can make the water swim through air. She’s always dressed in blue. Her eyes are blue too, like deep hot spring pools. Maybe if I were a waterbender, I could turn those pools to smile at me. No, hot spring is accurate. She shows her emotions like geysers. Water tribe has all the ice stuff, but she’s not cold. She’s fiery. Passionate. She speaks her mind. But she’s not mean. She really cares about others. She’s always doing stuff to make things okay for everyone else. Even if she hates you, she’ll offer to help. But I don’t think she’d hate anyone who didn’t deserve it. I bet she has lots of friends all over the world by now. Oh, more friends! Do you want a snack too?
She cooks and feeds her friends when traveling. She’s such a hard worker, taking care of everyone. She deserves to be the one taken care of. I bet she’d love the royal spa. She could have a massage, and whatever that volcanic skin mud thing is that Azula would get, and then she could relax in the sauna. And if the temperature was too low, I could heat up the stones for her. ‘Is it comfortable now?’ ‘Oh, yes, perfect steam, thank you Zuko!’ And she’d smile and be relaxed, and know I could do good things too. And - ow! Hey! Too many friends! Here! Ah, not the whole thing!
That’s it. I don’t have any more.
It’s all gone, see? All gone. Your friends took it.
Really, you’re just gonna go now? After I poured my heart out? Alright, fine, good talk, bye!
I probably deserved it.”
