"Hey, this is Zuko, which you... hopefully already know if you're trying to contact me. Anyway, I'm not here right now, so... well, if you've got something important to say, leave a message and I'll get back to you."

You have christmas decorations around here?

[deconflagration]

I haven't bought any yet. I thought we might put some up together. And maybe Iroh will help, too.

[hairraisingly]

[ She smiles at that and nods her head. She takes another sip of her tea and scoots back a bit. ]

Yes! That... that sounds like the perfect idea, Zuko! And and then maybe me and Iroh can bond a little.

[deconflagration]

Maybe you won't be so nervous around him and I won't be so awkward around him.

[hairraisingly]

I don't try to be so nervous around him it's just... he sounds a lot like you, have you ever noticed that?

[deconflagration]

...Yeah. I've noticed.

[ He's glad she said "a lot like" him instead of "identical" to him. They don't sound exactly the same, at least not in his mind. ]

It'll be fun and maybe it'll brighten the mood here.

[hairraisingly]

Can we... make cookies and stuff together too?

[deconflagration]

Can we use a lot of cinnamon?

[hairraisingly]

Snicker doodles!

[deconflagration]

And what else?

[hairraisingly]

Um... sugar cookies with a bunch of those little cinnamon things on top?

[deconflagration]

And some cardamon cookies?

[hairraisingly]

Ooo, what are those?

[deconflagration]

[ Well first it's spelled Cardamom and not Cardamon, fingers. ]

They're spiced cookies. You can put almonds in there, or flavor them with orange or lemon. Or put extra sugar in them.

[hairraisingly]

[ She looks very curious. ]

We're going to need a lot of cookie tins for all the cookies we're going to make.

[deconflagration]

We can add cookie tins to our shopping list.

[hairraisingly]

Lots of lights.

[deconflagration]

Maybe a few...?

[hairraisingly]

Lights all over the place!

[ or you could distract her with shiny tinsel. ]

[deconflagration]

Well, we could do that that, yeah....

[hairraisingly]

And... and a tree right?

[deconflagration]

A small tree?

[hairraisingly]

A small tree will work! I don't think it has to be big.

[deconflagration]

...A small tree... with a lot of decorations.

[hairraisingly]

[ She nods her head happily. ]

Yeah! And we can set it up on a little stand and put our presents under it.
