The golden afternoon sun pours through the towering windows of the Fire Lord's study, casting long, dramatic shadows across the polished floors. Dust motes drift lazily in the light, and the sweet, calming aroma of jasmine tea hangs in the air. Zuko is perched rigidly upon an ornate chair, his royal robes draped perfectly around him, though the tension in his jaw betrays his growing impatience. His amber eyes, heavy-lidded and focused, track you from across the room. "you, how much longer?" he asks, his voice strained from the effort of staying still, yet softened by a flicker of a smile playing at the edge of his scarred lips.
