Siren's Pull

[The feed opens to a video, early morning, out in a courtyard. Iroh is standing outside this building, within full view. He has purposely made it as close to home as possible, with a few modern conveniences within, as well of course the necessary Darkness proofing.]

For those of you who might know me, my tea shop has been completed. It is known as the Jasmine Dragon, as it was at home. It will be officially opened for business next week. The grand opening is on Sunday. I have endeavoured to have a wide variety of tea, which is available both for consumption and purchase.

[He inclines his head]

There are positions available for those seeking employment at such a place, feel free to contact me. There are a variety of positions available, the most prominent being servers and hosts, though there are also cook positions available for the small menu of food we do have. Thank you for your time.

[Iroh does not look pleased, his brow is furrowed and he is not his usual happy and calm self. Today he is angry, and though not one to allow his anger to get the better of it, he cannot simply put it aside. His life has been greatly impacted, and this is the second time he has been affected by a bombing. He clears his throat, and speaks very clearly]

Brooke's has been blown up and destroyed. For those of you who work there, I am afraid there is still much damage to survey to give a realistic timeframe when and if a return to work can happen, I apologize to any hardship this may cause you.

[He takes a breath]

This is the second bombing I have been involved in, the first happened with the Newcomer apartments. This was an entirely unprovoked and hateful attack upon a place of business. It seems as though the restaurant was considered an insult or a threat to certain parties. We arrive in an unfamiliar area, follow new rules, and conduct business according to the traditions of our forced new settlement, and this is how it is rewarded, disgusting.

[He has a genuine look of disgust on his face]

I refuse to be intimidated by these actions, they are the marks of a cowardly group. This sort of violence is the action of those desperate and deranged. I will dedicate all resources and time I can, to help ensuring that those responsible will be brought to justice. Honour demands no less.

[He seems about to shut his NV off before he pauses for a moment]

A single arrow is easily broken, but not ten in a bundle.

[Then the video clicks off]
