It's not like.. restricted to your own team, or anything? How about with the other leaders? Does that count, or do you get a pass because you're all masked?
It's probably better to keep it to our own team. [ at the question about the other leaders they frown ] I don't know. I guess I've never felt like doing it, so I never thought about it?
I always thought you guys were kind of.... I don't know, maybe not buddy buddy, but you're all kind of working the same job, so maybe.. more open with each other?
I don't know. We at least know something about you guys. We don't know anything about ourselves or each other. [ there's a beat ] That makes it sound like I don't trust any of them, ugh. I don't know! Taking off the mask feels like something we shouldn't do.
.. Yeah, but when you lose your memories, pieces of yourself... it gets more complicated. I don't think anyone here is really... evil.... at least, not like my family, but everyone has their reasons and I don't know what they are.
[ zuko doesn't seem to think they're just competitive. ]
... Let's just say if my dad or sister were here.... this competition would be a lot worse. In fact, my sister would probably be trying to take out you leaders too.

I also wanted to know what you knew about yourself and the other leaders.

[ maybe they can teleport out of this conversation ]
We don't know each other or ourselves that well. Memory stuff, obviously. I could tell you my favorite color?

[ so he's not gonna bucky out about it..... ]
I guess that's a start. But has spending time with them helped... any of you remember anything?
no subject
[ also they seem very relieved zuko isn't buckying at them ]

You're pretty optimistic.

Hey. What happens if you take off your mask?
no subject
[ what a weird question? ]
no subject
[ go to fucking bed ]
no subject
[ "probably"? but they look out at the horizon ]
It's sort of like the team rule for you guys, I think. Maybe we could tell one or two people we really trust.

But this is all... [ vague gestures ] Life and death, all the time. Makes it hard.

[ rubs the back of his head. ]
I'm trying. I don't... I guess it's hard to know how seriously people are taking the competition parts of this.
no subject
[ they grimace ]
Or at least I hope so. You guys have already had a lot more deaths than what's acceptable.

[ he's assuming swan gets one.... ]
.. Yeah, but when you lose your memories, pieces of yourself... it gets more complicated. I don't think anyone here is really... evil.... at least, not like my family, but everyone has their reasons and I don't know what they are.

[ or maybe they are just competitive. it's fine. they listen pensively to the second part but. ]
Okay, that wasn't your point, but-- evil like your family?
