Why them? How did you choose?
[Accidentally private to Zuko, was meant for Rhade/voice]
I've been thinking about what we talked about earlier.
It wasn't just once. Even here it's always the same choice before me: blood or profit. Again and again I take blood, and it's not enough, it's never enough, whether it lasts or not. I can't say what would have been, but I can see how a different road might have led to a different place and how mine might have sparked things I would have killed to stop. That it might have been better to choose differently.
But I still want it.
Your friend - you might call it a sacrifice, but he was lucky to have had you there, no matter what it left you with.
