[Iroh is sitting at a table in his new room, in The House. He has been bandaged up, but it is mostly covered by a robe. Though he can not hide the bandage on his head. Despite this he looks relatively cheerful

Good to hear you're okay, sir. A lot of people were a lot worse for where from what I saw when I was there. [She gestures to his forehead.] If I can ask, that's not too serious, right?
So you're really living in that House? I never talked to it, but. I heard about it. I've had to believe zombies, vampires, and living skeletons, but talking houses? That's a new one for me. How's living in it?
Oh, not too bad at all. I've had much worse injuries in my years.
[He smiles]
But thank you kindly for the concern.
[He chuckles]
Yes, well I am accustomed to strange creatures from the spirit realm, but where I am from, messages are conveyed through written word, and transported either by a messenger, or a messenger hawk. So you can imagine, the sheer level of technology is quite boogling to me. It is a very pleasant house, it enjoys order and routine. It is quite an accomplished cook, and is quite knowledgable.
Okay, cool. I've seen more nasty head injuries than I think I can count by now, just wanted to make sure. [Smiling back!] No problem.
Yeah... for a while I wasn't. 'Strange creatures' for me where I come from only existed in books and movies, until one category of them actually got real. So that was pretty new for us for a while. When I got here, apparently everything ELSE in my books and movies was real now too. [Shrug.] But I can get that--wait. The house cooks?
[ Cambria's smiling as she presses the video feed--finally, someone warm and welcoming! Not to say people were condescending and cold, but she gets a grandfather feel about this guy and she immediately warms to him. ]
I'm glad you're okay--not that I know you, but... I heard about the towers.
[At least this guy doesn't seem too offended. Yosuke smiles back for a second, then sneezes. Well...you probably could have done without that saliva spray all over the screen, but at least it wasn't in person? He wipes it off with the sleeve of his shirt.]
It's not much trouble. I'm outside anyway, and I owe you some from before. To tell you the truth, I didn't have anywhere to be anyway.

How is the House? A bit busy with refugees from the towers, I'd imagine.

Yes, the House is a bit busy, but it is nice to have some company. I hope you have taken a well deserved break for a bit.

That is rather unfortunate. I hope you will get some time off soon. Perhaps take a small break and enjoy a nice hot cup of tea?
[The man loves his tea]

[Iroh approves. He nods about the house cooking]
Yes, and it has a very wide selection.

[Hey, look. It's that kid who spilled your tea that one time.]
Sorry, I uh...do you need some tea or something?

[He remembered this young man, he chuckles at the comment]
A cup of tea would be lovely, of course. You don't need to trouble yourself with all that though.
