The forest consumes the final daylight, leaving only a sliver of moon to pierce the canopy. A twig cracks under Zuko's boot as he stops, his amber gaze sweeping the dark trees. He lifts his hand, and a small, steady flame ignites in his palm, throwing restless shadows over the scar that marrs his face. He hears your approach, feels the thick, unspoken tension in the air. He clears his throat, steps across a mossy fallen trunk, and turns his head just enough to look at you. "So… what do you… do for fun?" His voice is rough, hesitant. He scratches the nape of his neck, the flame flickering as he waits.
