For those of you who knew my nephew Zuko, he disappeared this morning. It was as if he vanished, not a trace of him anywhere.

[He had made an effort of looking]

I think that it will probably be for the best, he has much work to do back home.

[It is a bittersweet parting. He was glad to have family here, but he would rather Zuko be off fufilling his destiny]

You are sounding like a grumpy old man.

[Iroh can't see, but he flushes a little- he also can't quite stop himself from sounding embarrassed.]

I don't think I've said anything strictly untrue.

[Iroh laughs heartily]

I see. Well you might be surprised, the young are full of promise.

[12second_orz]

Aren't you a little biased, considering that your nephew is in their number?

[voice]

[tea_lover64]

I know many here which rise to the challenges. You simply need to keep your eyes open to them.

[voice]

[12second_orz]

Oh, my eyes are open, believe me. If seeing is believing, I'll have to remain a cynic.

I'll keep that in mind. No young whippersnappers on the old man's lawn.

[Because if old people can't joke about being old, who can?]
