There are many who are only interested in us for the potential information we can provide. I do not mind friendship... but if pragmatism is your ultimate goal, I would rather you state that clearly now.
... Honestly, I do want to know what you know about the Realm. I won't lie about that. I'm trying to get as much information as I can, because I want to end all of this.
But it's not just that. You leaders.... you're all people too, and you sacrificed your memories for our sake. I can't repay that directly, but I want to get to know you as a person. Not just as a leader. I'm not good with... this kind of thing, [ vague gestures ] and I know I haven't proven myself to you, but if you give me a chance, I won't let you down.
I don't want to use you, and I consider you a person. It's not just about information for me. I'm... pretty straightforward in general, so even if I tried to deceive you, I'd be bad at it.
-- Not that I'm trying! I... you know what I mean. Hopefully.
W-Well.. anyway... so my name is Zuko, I know you already know that, b-but I figured it'd be best to start with a proper introduction? I used to be crown prince of the Fire Nation, I'm... a firebender, which, is, uh, I guess you might say that I use fire magic? But I can't use it right now. ... Obviously.
It's a world that exists adjacent to ours.... uh, the avatar is basically the bridge between the two worlds and can travel between them. But he's unconscious for it? Like, his soul goes on the journey when he's in the spirit world.
Sometimes, spirits interact with the regular world, but... it's usually if they're displeased.

Okay, so what can I do?

well, now goat is just starting to sound suspicious. ]
Why are you so persistent on this...?
[ GOAT SAID THEY DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ]
no subject
But I do want to get to know you better. Since we haven't talked much. Is that bad?

[ and goat is harder to talk to!!! at least for zuko. ]
Look, if you don't want to, that's fine. I'm not going to force you to be friends with me.

[ they seem fairly okay with that, actually. ]
You do not need to ask me for a chance--you will always have it. All I ask is that you be straightforward in your intentions, with no deception.
[ one might get the impression that goat is kind of used to people taking advantage of their trust. ]
