[elfuego]

I mean smart! She's a friend!

[bearshermark]

[It's a good thing this is text, because he's definitely laughing]

How sweet. I'm happy for you.

[elfuego]

Happy about what? I just got a letter! It's just a letter!

[bearshermark]

So you don't admire her, then?

[elfuego]

Anybody who spoke to her would admire her at least a little!

[bearshermark]

Okay.

Would you like to spend time alone with her?

[elfuego]

I would like to keep spending time alone with her.

[bearshermark]

Then you should ask her to dinner sometime if you haven't already. If she doesn't want to, then it's likely she just thinks of you as a friend.

But igniting a fire in one's heart sounds very romantic.

[elfuego]

Really? Nobody's ever said that to me before. What do you do when you ignite a fire in a girl's heart?

[bearshermark]

[Suddenly doubting himself bc shouldn't Zuko know more about this kind of language than he does?]

It's just very poetic? Like a song. It seems to suggest a kindling passion.

[elfuego]

Yeah. She's really smart. Okay. I'll ask her about eating.

[ The Fire Nation isn't exactly the romance capital of the world. A good production of 'Love Among the Dragons' being the exception, of course. ]

[His phrasing is off enough, and with the potentially? disastrous letter Zuko may have sent, Eleven is briefly tempted to clarify, but.. Zuko is pretty smart in his own right, even if a bit blinded by affection.

..He'll be okay, right? A little faith.]

I hope it goes well for you.

[elfuego]

Me too. And, thanks a lot.

[bearshermark]

I'm glad I could help.
