four lengthy anecdotes

[moreteaplz]

Ah! That last curse made me forget who and where and what and when I was! How troublesome! Two days I could have spent on finishing my preparations of the Jade Dragon for opening, lost, and not even for any fun reasons. Rotten curses, putting an honest tea shop behind schedule for this kind of foolishness.

Azula, you--

Zuko--In the fool's mind

Or it could just be the aftermath of the curse or something, right?

But... you're right. Wondering about what could have been... it doesn't do much good, right?

[moreteaplz]

It could! Or it could have just been a bad piece of roast pork!

No, it does not do much good. If we spend our time mourning over missed possibilities, we forget the important things: to live for the future and to respect the past.

[lyra_of_dust]

Yeah... besides, the future is the most important thing!

[moreteaplz]

Although there is nothing wrong with living in a moment, either!

[ohmykethe]

Jade dragon?

[moreteaplz]

Yes, my tea shop! The Jade Dragon!

It is not open yet, but when it is, it will be serving only the finest teas and semi-authentic native foods from where I come from.

[ohmykethe]

A shop... all for tea? Sounds flash as a diamond miniature.

Where you from?

[moreteaplz]

What as a what what?

I am from a place very different than this one. Some would say less advanced. I would only say less crowded.

[auraoftheday]

Uncle? What's wrong?

[moreteaplz]

Oh, nothing. Just feeling a little...left of center today. A little off.

Dessert should fix it right up!

[auraoftheday]

Because of the curse?

Ohh, I hope it's cake~!

[moreteaplz]

That, and some other things.

I do not like having my volition taken away from me.

[floating_bamboo]

Curse interruptions aside, how is the tea shop coming along, Iroh-san?

You're not alone with this feeling...

[moreteaplz]

It should be ready to open within the week, Ukitake! I would like to take a trip down to your shop soon, and pick out some tender leaves to test for a good basic menu.

[floating_bamboo]

Wonderful! I'll truly look forward to it.
Certainly, feel free to step by whenever you have the time to. I'll show you our best leaves.

[moreteaplz]

Thank you! I may hold off for a few days. I would prefer to keep inside.

It seems there is a malaise.

[twinkle_toes]

Is he...okay?

[twinkle_toes]

The curse might have bothered him? Or something else...?

[twinkle_toes]

I'm still glad he's here though...for Zuko...for all of us. We're really lucky.

[twinkle_toes]

Ahhh, I'm okay!

A problem with your stomach? Should we go find a doctor?
