[Iroh holds up a broken tea set to the device. Tears are in his eyes.]

Wh-why would they do this to me?

[All of Zuko's turtle-ducks are tied to a string around his ankle. Half are squabbling with each other and half are pecking at cookie crumbs left from the tray they knocked over

Oh dear, Uncle. Is there a problem?

[o_tea_p]

[Iroh struggles to loosen the string from his neck, but now all the turtleducks are squabbling.]

Why would you think that?

[flamewarring]

Oh, just the fact several turtleducks seems to be choking you.

[o_tea_p]

A simple misunderstanding. It will be resolved soon.

[A turtleduck bites at his ear]

STOP THAT!

[Jet's coming to help. He's just not going to until after he gets the apron off, because hell if he wants Iroh to broadcast him wearing that to everyone.]

How does something like that even happen?

[o_tea_p]

[Iroh chokes]

I - I think it's a curse. Help me cut the string!

[seesbydoing]

Hey, you okay?

[ Yep, even Toph is worried. ]

[o_tea_p]

Fine! Just fine!

[somehow manages to untangle himself from the turtleducks]

A little misunderstanding with the turtleducks is all.

[seesbydoing]

What, did Flameo teach them to fight already?

[ Yeah, apparently Jet already has a nickname. ]

[o_tea_p]

Maybe. [tugs at the string holding the squabbling ducks to him] But there's also a string that I can't cut that ties them to me...
