"My daughter tells me you're refugees," the old lady stated. "We were once refugees ourselves."
"When I was a little girl," Song began sadly. "The Fire Nation raided our farming village. All the men were taken away. That was the last time I saw my father."
"I haven't seen my father in many years," Zuko lamented.
"Oh, is he fighting in the War?" Song asked innocently.
Zuko froze while Iroh kept slurping his noodles. The young man set his bowl down.
"Yeah..." he mumbled.

Zuko glanced away while Jin and I locked eyes.
"I don't remember the last time I saw my dad," I said softly
"Me too," Jin answered, and we sigh into our food.
"Do you think your fathers are also fighting?"
"How about we discuss something not dark and gloomy?" I chirped. "Like these amazing noodles!"
