To be honest, yes? But a lot of you aren't exactly big on sanitation, so if you hadn't, someone else would've done it anyway. So look at this way--you've saved someone else from blaming themselves for it?
In any case, what did you want to speak with me about?
I think we're just really bad at all trial stuff. I know I am.
[ it's weird, but zuko actually does feel a little better. mainly because of fox's bluntness ]
I keep hearing different answers about whether your team has, um, finished their kills. And I heard that if one of you Leaders lose all your members, you lose your rank and powers, and... no one on that team can be revived. So honestly? I'm pretty worried.
I'll be honest--I have no idea why some of you are convinced that my team has two kills, especially since they themselves have known for a while that we don't, so I doubt it came from them.
[ he looks kind of touched at this... what a loser. ]
It's your call. But I think they should be the ones trying to get to know you better. Uncle always says that you should try to learn as much as you can about other people. It took me a while to feel like I could understand you... I still don't know a lot about you, to be honest... but I think that despite all your jokes, you're a good man with a lot of passion. Just... tired.
I'm not the best at people, or understanding them, or... social... situations.... and I know I get angry easily... but I still try, and I think that they should too.
[ a beat. ]
Sometimes you get on my nerves, but I like you. I think of you as my friend. And I think I can learn from you. Not just... Realm stuff. But life stuff? I don't know.
... Yeah, that's what I mean. [ the fox wisdom.... ]
I know I make a lot of mistakes, and I know sometimes I get really stuck on the mistakes I do make... but I'm trying just to learn from them. And I think.... one of the mistakes we as a group made in the past, is not really trying to listen to or understand you Leaders.

[ are they not allowed to? but he winces. ]
Pretty bad. But.... Jeanne's alive, and this sickness is basically my fault, so... I don't think I really get to complain, for once.

I mean... I'm the one who made everyone touch the body. You don't have to go easy on me, I know I was pretty stupid.

[ he is so concerned about fox organization ]
... Yeah, uh. I heard the announcement. I've been... trying to be careful about what I say.
no subject
Being careful is all we can ask of you.

[ zuko knows he probably can't. ]
Hey, uh. You don't have to wear your mask around me. I know you probably like your privacy, but... you can take it off, if you want.
no subject
[ they don't take it off, though. ]

... I won't keep asking. But I hope, at some point, I'll have proven myself to you.
no subject
To be honest, I like you. It's not a matter of proving yourself to me.
[ zuko's been nice to them, and they appreciate it a lot?
they hold up a finger to their lips. ]
It just seems a little rude to show my face to someone not on my team, before any of them.
