I'm not sure what's worse. Being a kid or being a ferret.

Or an old person.

... I'm not affected. How often do floods affect our ages, anyway?

[Private to Vanessa and Narvin, separately. Narvin's comes much later.]

I have your knives.

[There's a moment where she considers trying to kill Zuko and keeping both sets of knives, but he'd only use the Admiral to keep her out of the shadows again, and no. She won't have that taken from her again unless there was no choice.

But she does put her armor on, throwing her old cloak over it, before she slips more-or-less invisibly down the hall to Zuko's room. It feels good to move unseen, to have that safety between herself and the world again.

It also feels good to kick Zuko's door instead of knocking on it. Her boots are much more practical than Hope's shoes.]

[Armor. Totally practical half-naked leather armor. Coincidentally in Fire Nation colors.]

Did your country start a war to crush the rest of your world? [Oh the sarcasm.]

Let me in or give me what's mine.

[She moves in after him and closes the door behind her so that no one can wander by and happen to see what's going on; this isn't something she wants everyone knowing about. Not that that's likely to help with Zuko liking to talk too much.

And she's mostly controlling herself, too, but there's a little flicker in her eyes that she can't quite keep back at the sight of them. Taking them from him, she weighs them in her hands, testing the balance, the shape, the size. Everything's right, except for the edges. It's a big except, but she can work with it for now.

The daggers go into their sheathes and she produces the knives Narvin gave her (don't ask from where). They're a lot less substantial - her own are made for real fighting, to be able to parry swords and get past armor - but they are sharp. Unlike Zuko, she doesn't move to hand them over, just keeps them in hand.]

I suppose you expect me to be grateful for this.

Should it be my style to be happy with no more than whatever scraps of my own coin you decide to allow me? You'll have a long wait if you think so.

The thing about not being given everything you want whenever you want it is you learn how to do your own research, Fire Lord.

[Which is, of course, an asshole way of saying she's not going to reveal her source in case he has more to say later.]

Why does it matter? The results are the same no matter whether you use swords or fire. Or plague.

[They should probably make a Godwin rule about Arthas comparisons.]

Not at all. Your cabin is convenient enough.

And what is wrong with being an old person, Zuko?

[Solidly loling at everyone going 'baw I'm old D:'. WELCOME TO HIS WORLD, BITCHES.]

I would rather be a ferret, but that's just me.

I'm not affected either. Floods tend to skip me. Of course, now that I just said that, the next one is going to hit me double hard.

Probably not. This is the Barge after all.

Not nearly long enough to be that cynical. Two months or so.

I don't think I'm cynical. I think the Barge brings it out of me.

How long have you been here?
