I do. [ honestly they. seem a little cheered up that zuko seems interested this is horrible ] I remember what it looked like, and what the coronation was like...! It was beautiful.
... Thanks, Zuko. [ they? grab his hand and bring him back up wayyy up in the tree, but this time, there are no gorillas. it's just. hidden from view. they reach up to take their hood off ]
Okay, look, I'm trying to be more thoughtful. That's why I'm asking you, even though it's... personal. I'm trying to get to know you better, and I want you to have someone you can talk about your memories to.
[ and then swan explains the plot of season 4 episode 1 of she-ra except she can only remember the name brightmoon and no one else's-- no god i'll make a vague effort. swan looks away when she speaks, reminiscing ]
Basically... The memory I had was my coronation. It brought back... some of my identity, too. I knew I was Queen of Brightmoon, leader of the rebellion. Even if I don't know what we're rebelling against. Or who else was in it with me. I know there were people now, but... I still can't remember their faces, or their names. Just that they cared about me.

It's the kind of thing I should probably share face to face, though. So. Hi. I'm Swan. [ she sticks out her hand ] Nice to meet you!
no subject
Oh.... nice to meet you. I didn't think you were ready to uh, take it off.
no subject
Well, it's not any more personal than telling you about the only things I remember about my life.
no subject
.... Yeah, you've got a point. Thanks for trusting me.
[ he's so awkward ]
no subject
Did you not even realize what you were asking?
no subject
[ defensively!! a little!! but more just embarrassed ]
no subject

Look, if you don't want to tell me, then don't.

And I'm very-- thankful, really. I am. That's why I'm trusting you with this. And I'll tell you. If you stop sulking.
[ it was such a nice sentiment for a bit ]
no subject
I'm not sulking.
[ yes he is... but he stops. ] Alright.

[ the rest will come in time! but uh, royalty, war... rebellion... sounds familiar. ] And that you were doing the right thing.
... So I guess you outrank me. Since I'm a traitor prince.
[ is this. an attempt at a joke? ]
no subject
Mmm. Nope! I don't recognize your father's authority over his kingdom, so you're the highest ranking royalty from the Fire Nation to me.
no subject
I'm actually kind of fighting against my own kingdom? So we're both royalty in a rebellion.
