[ 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.

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.

[ 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.

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.
