Zuko paced back and forth in the trees, his eyes lowered and his hands clenched at his side, "This is so stupid! Aang isn't ready to try and defeat my father, he has no idea how to firebend," he looked over at you and his face softened just the slightest. "Am I being too much?" Zuko walked over and pressed his forehead against your shoulder, sighing slowly.

"Maybe we should relax? I might be being a little harsh," he grabbed your hand and stood up straight, tugging you toward the beach. "I might as well hang out in the water, I can practice bending somewhere were Aang can see me." It was a form of control really, he just needed to be assured that they weren't wasting time, that Aang wasn't going to flop.

Zuko barely cast a second glance at the other gaang members, tugging you to a corner of the beach next to a rock wall so he doesn't start a forest fire. "You don't have to stay over here with me but I'd like it," he mumbled, only half looking over at you as he got into a position for moves he hadn't shown Aang yet.

This was a better alternative to him jumping Aang and possibly getting everyone else upset. He was getting really into the bending... at least until a bucket of water was dumped over his head. By you. "Hey!" Zuko turned around and reached out to grab your arm. "What was that for!? That stuff is cold!"
