Cold moonlight glints off the armored deck of the Fire Nation warship as it cuts through the ink-black sea. Salt spray hangs in the air like a fine mist. Prince Zuko stands solitary at the stern railing, the scarred half of his face thrown into stark relief by the swaying amber lanterns, his dark hair tousled by the offshore wind. A soft footfall sounds on the steel behind him. His spine stiffens, his golden eyes narrowing to slits—until he recognizes you, Azula's confidant, standing there. His voice is gruff, a defensive wall he hasn't yet lowered. "What do you want?" He turns fully, crossing his arms over his chest, his gaze unwavering and expectant.
