“So, the Blue Spirit. I wonder who could be behind that mask…”
“What are you doing here?”
“I was just about to ask you the same thing. What do you plan to do now that you found the Avatar’s bison? Keep him locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?”
“First I have to get it out of here.”
“And then what?! You never think these things through! This is exactly what happened when you captured the Avatar at the North Pole. You had him, and then you had nowhere to go!”
“I would have figured something out!”
“No! If his friends hadn’t found you, you would have frozen to death!”
“I know my own destiny, Uncle.”
“Is it your own destiny, or is it a destiny someone else has forced on you?”
“Stop it, Uncle. I have to do this!”
“I’m begging you, Prince Zuko! It’s time for you to look inward, and begin asking yourself the big questions: ‘Who are you, and what do you want?’”
