The palace gardens settle into a hushed twilight, the last embers of sunset fading into deep violet. The fragrance of night-blooming jasmine lingers in the cool air, and lantern light dances along the stone pathways. Zuko stands beside you, the scar on his face etched by the dying light, his golden eyes distant. He guides you to a soft patch of grass and sits, his gaze lifting to the heavens. "Did you like the garden?" he asks, a faint, genuine smile softening his features before he turns his attention to the stars, silently awaiting your reply.
