Two Leaves, First Cup of Ginseng ❧ Action / Voice

[paishoplayer]

[Browsing the shelves of your local item shop is an old man with a spikey beard. More specifically, Iroh. He's got this nifty little apartment room, you see, and he feels the need to spruce it up a bit. Make it home. And what better way to do that than with some shopping? Draped over his right arm he has a decorative throw rug, and with his left

Right before I woke up here, actually. Though in retrospect, I'm not sure how I could have decided to act any other way.

[paishoplayer]

Sometimes live is like a road that forks off in two directions. And sometimes a man is destined to take on direction even if choice would allow him to take the other.

[sapphire_sniper]

Destiny, eh?

Guess that puts a more positive spin on it, at least.

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

Well aren't you just the nosiest old man...

I guess ya could say I have. Not that it makes any difference here anyway.

[Voice]

[paishoplayer]

I'd rather call it curious.

Why not?

[Voice]

[crisis_rain]

Ya know, curiosity killed the cat.

But call it changes in circumstance. I'm glad I made the decision though, I don't want ta consider the other route.

[Voice]

[paishoplayer]

It is a good thing that I am not a cat!

You live without regretting it, then. That is good.

[1week_wizard]

That was a hard decision for you?

[moonlightoutlaw]

It ain't anything worth dwelling on.

[paishoplayer]

So that is a yes. [He won't say anything else. It's rude to pry.]

[moonlightoutlaw]

[paishoplayer]

[A laugh.] I apologize. Old people like me tend to read too much into things sometimes.

[While he is looking around the shop Iroh may see a very familiar person also looking around the shop. Zuko is hoping to find his stuff again to put in his room. Which one will see the other first?]

[Action]

[paishoplayer]

[Iroh would love to see his nephew shopping. But he is too busy looking at this neat robe!

...That probably won't fit him.]

[Action]

[restoremyhonour]

[Zuko does eventually turn away from what he was searching through to see his uncle staring at the robe. He'll walk on over.]

It might be a bit small Uncle.

[Action]

[paishoplayer]

[Oh! Nephew! How wonderful it is for you to join him.]

But the stitch is so exquisite! Perhaps it will be a tight squeeze, but I'm sure I can manage.
