See, the thing is— Agni fucking damnit— Zuko doesn’t regret helping Sokka rescue Hakoda from Boiling Rock. It was a step in the right direction, a display of loyalty, a step towards forgiveness. (Zuko doesn’t pale at the thought of loyalty. He doesn’t. He’s just tired, is all, tired and possibly dehydrated.) However. He will concede that he may have inadvertently fucked himself over, because in the days and weeks after the rescue, Hakoda won’t stop looking at him with something like disappointment in his eyes. That’s not good. It’s really not good, actually, and in fact, Zuko might as well be dead where he stands. Well. He’s had a good run. Not really, but it’s easier if that’s what he tells himself. If he’s lucky, it won’t be too hard to find another firebending teacher for Aang, and— Oh Agni. Oh fuck. He’s coming over. Smile, Zuko, smile for Agni’s sake, chin up, back straight, head empty, no thought, only respect, respect and survival, it’s going to be fine— “Hey there. You seem a little pale, are you alright?” It takes everything Zuko has to suppress a nervous laugh. He is really and truly fucked.
