I trailed after Zuko with my hands bound and a small chain which he held in his hand was used to pull me if I wasn't fast enough. He began talking to the old man who I had learned was called Iroh and was Zuko's uncle. He was a nice man who liked tea, which was great because I like tea too. A fire bender approached us.

"Prince Zuko." He muttered, he glanced to me before back to Zuko.

"Captain." Zuko said in acknowledgement. 

"Commander now. " The man corrected. " And Iroh, great hero of our country. What might this me?"

I snarled at man as he referred to me as it.

"Retired hero." Iroh corrected. "And this is Kumo."

The commander raised an eyebrow but said nothing more. I supposed I did look a bit weird in my Water Tribe clothes.

      ( Kumo's hair is meant to be white but the colouring went of when I put the picture in the chapter)

"The Fire Lord's brother and son are welcomed guests here." He said. "But what brings you to my home?"

"Our ship is being repaired." Iroh said, gesturing to the large ship. The front had been completely smashed up. Zuko noticed my slight triumphant look and yanked my chain.

"Thats quite a bit of damage." He looked back to me. 

"Yes, you wouldn't believe what had happened." Zuko murmured. "Uncle, tell the commander what happened."

I think they were trying to lie. I don't know.

"Yes, I will do that." Iroh agreed. "Yes, it was incredible."

"We crashed right into an earth kingdom ship." Zuko lied. I rolled my eyes.

"Yes, that is incredible. Fill me in on all the details and who this curious girl is. Join me for a drink?"

"Sorry, but we have to go." Zuko began to walk away, tugging me with him before Iroh stopped him. 

"Show commander respect." Iroh commanded. "We would be honoured to join you. Do you have any Jing San tea? It's my favourite."

Zuko growled in anger, fire shooting out of fists. I leapt back just in time to avoid the flames but the chain wasn't that long and I stumbled onto the ground. Zuko turned to give me a glare and I shot up. He dragged me with them.

I knelt on the floor while Zuko sat frustrated in a chair. Iroh was looking at some spears as the commander told us some battle plans or whatever. Of course, I got stuck on the floor. Zuko snapped something to the man about his father.

"So, two years at sea have done nothing to temper your tongue. How's your search for the avatar?" He asked, sitting down in the chair next to Zuko. Iroh knocked the spears off the wall and I frowned.
