[ You're the fandom bullfrog, SP, well done if you understand that ref. Positioning the NV on a window-sill, Zuko steps back with a sceptical look as he checks it's running; he looks entirely healed since the last time he crashed into the network, thankfully, albeit as awkward as any sixteen-year-old boy possibly can. Sighing, a hand runs through his hair. ]

Um. Hello. Zuko, here.

So ... I recently arrived and I still haven't been to many places in this city. It's nowhere near as huge as Ba Sing Se — that's the biggest one back where I come from — but still pretty large. We should go explore it. [ Oops, that was a bit out of the blue, wasn't it? Not in his head, until he checks himself. ] Here, not there. Not right now, unless — you want to? I mean, I'm free, but I can wait for you if you don't take too long, I'd like to get to know where everything is.

[ Screwing his eyes shut against irritation (yes, over himself, because who insults the people they're trying to introduce themselves to?), he somewhat starts again. ]

Or I could help you out ... maybe. I don't know how much good burning things would do. [ Lifting a hand, it's clearly on fire with crackling flames and not perturbing him at all as he forgets to waft it away. ] I've suddenly got a lot of time on my hands, if anyone wants to bother doing stuff.

... 'Stuff'? Urgh, I sound so stupid.

[ Life-changing field-trip with Zuko, anyone? ]

What are guns?

[ Judging the other guys position, he heads to the diamond. ]

They're weapons - fire projectiles over a long distance. If you think of knives as a level up from fists, I'd say guns are a level up from knives.

You don't need those when you're a bender.

[ As for non-benders, well ... they're usually swordsmen or something, if they even want to fight. ]

[ He visibly perks up. ] You'll have to show me - if you're down for a match sometime. Not that I could shoot you with a real gun and still have a clear conscience. Maybe a water pistol? Or a paintball gun.

Hand-to-hand combat or swords would be preferable. Anyone can push a button or pull a trigger.

[vinovidivici]

Not just anyone can aim worth a damn, though. But it's your call.

[deformed]

Still easier than actually having to rely on your entire body. A fight isn't meant to be over quickly, it's a test of wills.

[vinovidivici]

Good motto for training. You get lazy relying on fancy weaponry and it'll catch you out one day. But that's not exactly practical when you're facing down twenty fellas who'd each like to turn you into a beehive.
