... I shall accept it in part - after all, everyone's efforts ought be counted together. It would matter little what was found if not for everyone's votes and will.
Well then, I shall take care to exercise more caution in the future - I believe we all ought to, if more people prompted to kill lash out upon those who discover them.
week 0, post-trial
[ also if he sees jiji tries to drink tea with a stabbed cheek zuko is going to slap it!! out of his hand!!! just like he did to iroh ]
no subject
mikazuki watches his tea clatter to the ground sadly]
My tea...
no subject
[ this is out of concern. probably. ]
You're going to burn the inside of your cheek!
no subject
[jiji is about to adopt this child]
Should I have waited for it to cool?
no subject
[ the archetype... he recognizes it...... ]
You should wait for the wound to heal! What if it gets infected?
no subject
Am I not meant to eat or drink...?
[he sounds
so sad]
no subject
[ he isn't good enough at medical care to really specify anything, but he does know that liquid on stabbed cheek before it starts to heal: bad ]
no subject
[he won't,]
Fufu... Thank you very much for your care, Zuko.
no subject
[ he makes the mistake of trusting jiji to be responsible.... ]
[ and also gets embarrassed. ]
I just cleaned it and wrapped it.
[ but hopefully the bleeding has stopped by now? ]
no subject
[fucking swords and their repairs
but his expression softens, amused]
And so I am appreciative. Please do accept it.
no subject
I'm accepting it. [ grumbled!!! even more embarrassed. he's very much a teenager ] Just... don't get all sappy on me. Focus on healing up.
Besides, you were the one who actually caught him. I should be the one thanking you. You got hurt for it.
no subject
Oh, I have little desire to claim such credit. I was only hoping to inquire about a papercut.
[it was simply the funniest turn of events that he got stabbed for it]
no subject
Well, the papercut was the decisive evidence, apparently. So accept your credit.
[ just like how zuko had to accept his appreciation ]

[ so don't be so modest, grandpa.... ]
But be careful next time.
no subject
no subject
[ but zuko's just being tsun worried... ]
no subject
[that's funny.
he doesn't explain why.]
Well then, I shall take care to exercise more caution in the future - I believe we all ought to, if more people prompted to kill lash out upon those who discover them.
no subject
[ it's ok zuko just gets offended anyway ]
Yeah, well, I don't think anyone would have expected that. But now we all know. So... good.
no subject
[just saying... but he's fond. he will reach over to pat zuko on the shoulder reassuringly]
... we will continue to move forward, and take care of one another where we can.
Do ensure that you allow others to look after you as well.
no subject
[ grumbles at being patted.... grumbles at jiji.... ]
I'm not one of those self-sacrificing types. If I need help, I'll take it.
no subject
Good, good.
I would like to see you grow well.
no subject
What's that supposed to mean?
[ he is a grown man, obviously!! grandpa!! ]
no subject
It means that I find your character strong, and wish to see what your future may hold.
... so do take care.
no subject
[ it's kind of a weak protest, though ]
