And some hot cocoa?

[hairraisingly]

Both?

[deconflagration]

Well, some people drink something with coffee, so I thought maybe...?

[hairraisingly]

I'd love some hot cocoa if you don't mind.

[deconflagration]

Coming right up.

[ After kissing her cheek, he stands up and heads to the kitchen. ]

If you can get the cards, I'll meet you in the bedroom?

[hairraisingly]

Do you remember where we put them last?

[deconflagration]

[ From inside the kitchen: ]

I put them on top of the television the last time I had them. They should be there unless you've played with them after that?

[hairraisingly]

Okay! Thanks Zuko.

[ She stands up from the couch and runs off to the bedroom to search around Zuko's tv. ]

[deconflagration]

[ Just as he'd said, there they are on top. ]

Did you find them?

[hairraisingly]

[ She grabs the deck of cards, tosses her guide off to the side somewhere and then jumps onto the bed. Yep! I found them, Zuko!

[deconflagration]

[ After a few minutes, Zuko walks into the bedroom, carrying a tray with cups, some honey and a pot. He sets it on the bed, away from where Rapunzel is so movement doesn't knock it over, then sits down as well. The two cups are filled with hot chocolate right now with two other cups empty, meant for tea. Which cup belongs to Rapunzel because it's very, very chocolatey. With some milk added. ]

Hey....

[hairraisingly]

[ She grabs the cup of hot chocolate from with him a smile on her face. ]

Thank you Zuko. This smells delicious.

[deconflagration]

I hope it tastes as good as it smells.

[hairraisingly]

If it was made by you then I think it'll taste even better.

[deconflagration]

[ He put honor in it. ]

Uncle never taught me the art of hot cocoa making, so it might not be as great as you think.

[hairraisingly]

[ She gives him a look and then grins and takes a big sip out of it. ]

...Mmm! Did you add something extra in this?

[deconflagration]

You know what it was.

[hairraisingly]

I know. It was extra love and kisses.

[deconflagration]

[ He smiles faintly and takes a sip of his hot cocoa. ]

Is there anything you want to watch on the television? And do you have a card game in mind?

[hairraisingly]

Um... I dunno I don't have anything in mind for the tv, but we can play go fish.

[deconflagration]

All right. You deal.

[ He grabs the remote, turns the television on and puts the volume low so it's just serving as background noise. ]

[hairraisingly]

[ she nods her head and flattens out the blanket they're sitting on. Then she starts to shuffle the deck up. When she does it about three or four times she passes out seven cards to both of them and sets the deck down in the middle. ]

[deconflagration]

How should we decide who goes first?

[hairraisingly]

um... Do you have a coin?

[deconflagration]

Sure. Hang on.

[ He gets off the bed, moving to his night stand. After pulling open the drawer, he removes a gold coin from a red pouch, shuts the drawer and climbs back onto the bed, this time resting on his stomach. He holds up the coin to her, long and rectangular with a slit running along its body. One side has the Fire Nation insignia and the reverse side just has writing. ]
