Concentrate on your leaf!

I don't know why that title line cracked me up, but it totally did. I guess because I can so imagine Zuko not concentrating and getting whacked in the head

Note: I am open to "White Lotus Theme Song" suggestions, SRSLY

That line cracked ME up in "The Deserter" so I don't blame you -- I couldn't resist including it! ^_

He has that effect on people <3

Bumi is still in Omashu. Remember that he doesn't escape until the eclipse?

PIANDAO AND JEONG JEONG BICKERING ABOUT WHO LEFT THE FIRENATION FIRST.

Pakku's dry sarcasm! WHITE LOTUS! IROH IROH IROH!

"Needs more pepper," he said.
"Yeah, I…I was thinking that," said Zuko. "But I always add too much, so-"
"You would, I guess," said Jet, though he left it at that.
BWAHAHAHA SPICY FOOD FOR THE FIRENATION KID.

Yeah, possibly better review later. After I am done having this make my week.

Hahaha man, you know, I was really worried that no one would get that thing about the pepper! So you know, HOORAY for nerdy jokes I guess! <3

And I am VERY HAPPY to have brightened your week! Thank you for saying so!

...that was love. *_* just all over love.

I love Iroh and getting all protective-angry at his brother who's messed Zuko up all in the head. And I love Piandao just being his awesome stoic self and him and Jeong Jeong competing over who left the army first and lived to tell the tale. I aDORE Jeong Jeong running Zuko through his basics and oh-so-casually smacking his prince up-side the head when he's not doing it right. Consentrate on your leaf!!

And Pakku. Oh Pakku you snarky sarcastic wonderful man you. XD And full of wisdomy goodness. mmm.

I'm scared of Gen though. Terrified. He's going to give them away somehow, isn't he? Even if unintentionally. He's going to screw things up.

I'm really glad you liked Iroh's moment of anger regarding his brother -- I didn't want to spend too much time on it, largely because IROH probably wouldn't want to, so I'm happy to hear it still came across! I'd imagine that Iroh has a tremendous amount of rage bottled up inside him about that topic -- he clearly loves Zuko like a son, and Ozai treated him in completely appalling manner. But of course, Iroh has to push all of that down while he's talking to Zuko, as it's not anything Zuko's ready to hear and would only drive a wedge between them.

Man. Fire Family. :(

Anyway, thank you very much for commenting! <3 <3 <3 <3
