[Iroh strolls in, wearing huge fuzzy pink bunny slippers, a kitty cat pajama set, and bearing a tray of tea.]

Who wants a cup of delicious jasmine tea?

[lawbender]

[ Oh, Iroh. She can't even be surprised about your choice of attire, but she hides her smile behind a hand. ]

I do. Best thing after a long day is your tea.

[o_tea_p]

Your mother always said the same thing.

[He kneels down and starts laying out the cups]

So what do you have planned for tonight?

[lawbender]

Well. [ She sits down herself, stretching her arms and relaxing. ] I have the new pulp romance scroll we can make fun of. Or you could tell stories.

[ Iroh has the best stories. ]

[o_tea_p]

Oh! You have The Tale of Deep Purple Lotus Blossoms?

[SO MUCH EXCITEMENT!]

[lawbender]

[ This time she does laugh. She can't help it. ] I picked it up over lunch. I thought that the shopkeeper's eyes were going to fall out when she recognized me.

[o_tea_p]

I'm not surprised. You do not look like the romantic type.

[lawbender]

It's a good thing you're my favorite uncle, that's all I'm saying.

[o_tea_p]

I am touched. Sokka and Aang are tough competition.

[lawbender]

I have a lot of good people in my life. [ A pause. ] Don't tell them, though.

[ Iroh gets points for realizing she's all grown up now, something that fathers and uncles are notoriously bad at. ]

So what did you want to do this evening? Mother was threatening to drop by but I told her she'd be a great help cleaning the house, so I don't think that's happening.

[o_tea_p]

I think I'd like to start reading the scroll. I've been dying to know who You Qing will choose!

And then, perhaps I'll get out my tsungi horn and we can have a music night.

[lawbender]

[ Lin produces the scroll and hands it over. She might even be interested in knowing who You Qing will choose. It's a compelling story, okay! ]

I'll go find my zheng.

[o_tea_p]

[While she's gone, Iroh devours the scroll.]

OH MY GOODNESS!

[lawbender]

Surprise ending?

[ She sits down again and begins to tune it. ]

[o_tea_p]

I can't believe it! She actually marries Wei Ding!

[Oh the disgust!]

[lawbender]

[ Lin makes a face. She's invested, despite herself. ]

Not that howling goatdog! What was the writer thinking?

[o_tea_p]

I would very much like to know!

[He tosses the scroll aside angrily and turns to Lin.]

I think it's time for music.
