Zuko doesn’t know how Azula's doctors already seem to understand what their childhoods were like, and how they seem so prepared to house and treat a dangerous firebender. He doesn’t know why they aren’t afraid of him or her, why they even agreed to come here. He doesn’t understand how Uncle even knew who to contact for help, and how he set everything up so quickly. Uncle looks resigned, when he’s asked about it, which makes Zuko nervous. “These were not quickly made arrangements,” he admits. “I spent a great deal of time when I was traveling with the White Lotus looking into how one could best help a war child who had been so indoctrinated and hurt. I wrote to quite a few people, and have been in contact with the doctors treating Azula for some time.” Zuko stares back at Uncle in confusion. “I don’t understand. You knew she would go mad?” Uncle sighs. He puts his tea down on the table between them, and looks Zuko in the eye as he answers. “No, Fire Lord Zuko. These arrangements were not made for her. They were made for you.” ******* Couldn't stop thinking about how Iroh must have been planning on having to "deal with" Zuko after the war.
