"The Earth Kingdom has always been stubborn, Zuko. Yet if they attacked you they risk war with your nation. What were the terms you want if I may ask?"
-to him just felt like I got punched in the stomach, ya know?
It hurtโฆ.
Do you guys think Iโm like my father?
Am I really that bad of a leader?โ
It was obvious the earth kings harsh words got under Zukos skin, and even worse itโs in his head.
โThen he made a threat.

โLoser pays for dinner tonightโโ
A comedic thing to say to lighten the mood, but also as a genuine suggestion ๐ซ
โHope thereโs no hard feelings after, Toph.โ
โUnfortunately with tensions with the earth kingdom getting worse, this is a sparring match I might need, to shake off some rust.โ
He pulled a pin from his hair, letting it fall before taking off the top part of his outfit, canโt have it getting burned or covered in rubble๐คทโโ๏ธ

He bent his knees and raised his hands, ready to create flames at a moments notice!
With someone like Toph, or anyone in the Gaang (except Sokka) he knows that above all else to ๐ฝ๐พ๐ underestimate the person infront of you.

โSo-
I mightโฆBeAtWarWithTheEarthKingdom HOWEVER I wanna make one thing clear!
I didnโt fire the first shot. The Dai Li attacked me.โ

โOf course itโs the right answer, Iโm the fire lord and I know everything ๐
And yeah, something similar to earth bending wouldโve been better, Iโll start writing down ideas๐
Oh! Also Iโm going to get some training in later, wanna join me?
