[ Zuko eventually gets a text on his PHS simply telling him "outside". Luckily, Zuko does not know text etiquette, and so should not worry about this.

Wolf is waiting outside the Planetarium, arms crossed. If Zuko carried the apple, they make no move to grab it. ]

Something you needed?

[cuedoves]

[ just offering..... the single apple.... ]

... Uh... not really. Just wanted to see how you were holding up.

[ awkwardly. ]

[retellers]

[ ... they take the apple? ]

Fine?

[ they sound so baffled. ]

[cuedoves]

Oh. Good.

[ there's a fucking awkward silence here ]

So what are you doing this week....?

[retellers]

[ ................. ]

Working on finding the source of the disturbance.

[ this is incredibly awkward. ]

[cuedoves]

[ they're doing their best ???? ]

Can I help?

[retellers]

You're helping by gathering nova.

[ in a tone that says they have already explained this? ignoring that that is not what zuko is asking ]

[cuedoves]

That's not what I'm talking about. I mean... help you. In other ways.

[ god wolf this is hard enough for him!! ]

[retellers]

Like what?

[ now they are just doing it on purpose ]

[cuedoves]

You're supposed to tell me that!

[ no bully ]

[retellers]

Well, I don't have any extra tasks to give you. You should ask your Leader if you want one.

[cuedoves]

.... You're even more stubborn than I am.

[retellers]

Thanks.

[ in THE most sarcastic tone ]

[cuedoves]

... If you think of something, will you let me know?

[retellers]

[ they sigh ]

Sure, kid. But concentrate on what you're doing on your side of things before worrying about ours.

[cuedoves]

Yeah, I know. I'm working on it. I'm not sure what else I should be doing to collect Nova. [ aside from the missions. ]

And you were the one dealing with the bodies, and everything, so...

[retellers]

Had to be someone, and I wasn't as bothered as Rabbit or Fox. It's fine.

[cuedoves]

I don't know. I still think it's pretty messed up.

[ even if wolf is less bothered... ]

[retellers]

The whole thing was messed up.

[cuedoves]

.... Yeah, I know. It just seems like you got the worst end of it.

[retellers]

Think the guys who got murdered got the worst of it.

[ thanks, wolf. ]

[cuedoves]

... Of the alive people.

[ why are you like this wolf ]

[retellers]

I wasn't close to any of them. Carrying a corpse isn't that bad if you don't have any attachment.

[cuedoves]

[ honestly he'd probably say the same in wolf's position......... ]

You're pretty tough.

[retellers]

Yeah, I guess. [ they just? agree?? ] Don't know if that's relevant to that.
