"I thought that I'd find you here," Soza leaned against a pillar at the old estate that they used to visit when they were kids. 

"Those summers we spent here," Zuko mumbled, "seem so long ago." He sighed, setting down the rock tablet that he held. "So much has changed."

"Yeah," Soza's eye twitched. "I've heard you say that a lot this trip. What a drag."

When Zuko glared at her, she sighed and put her arms up in surrender against her older brother. Her dark brown hair started blowing behind her in the cold night summer winds. She sighed once more before saying,

"Come down to the beach with me." She gestured her hand towards the waves. "Come on, this place is depressing," she turned around. Zuko lumbered up and trudged behind her.
