Summary
“When you hit the ground it didn’t look like you were breathing. I thought you were dead.” She says it like it’s a confession.
“I almost was. I could have been”
Azula is studying her fingernails, her eyes betraying nothing of her thoughts.
“And how did you feel?” Zuko asks after a pause. “When you thought I was dead, how did you feel?”
Her eyes snap up towards his, soft, wide. There is no malice in those eyes. They look like the eyes of a child.
“I don’t know,” she whispers. Her eyes are searching his, pleadingly. “I don’t know.”
Zuko looks at his sister. Sitting on the floor with him, her choppy and uneven hair freshly brushed and loose around her shoulders, dressed in an oversized cotton shirt, she doesn’t look like a threat. She looks sad, and small. For the first time in her life, Zuko thinks she looks like a fourteen year old girl.
“That’s okay,” he says. He wants to reach out to her, to wrap her in his arms, to stroke her hair and make her understand. He wants to so badly, but he is still afraid. The lightning scar on his chest still aches with a phantom pain if he thinks about it.
