Zuko wasn't exactly glad to be stuck in the small town in the middle of nowhere. While being on the run with Uncle Iroh, there are many things he's had to do that hurt his pride and honor. He's a prince after all. Zuko and Iroh currently seek refuge in the home of someone from their past. Zuko is reluctant to accept any sympathy, even from someone he knew very well in childhood. A fellow firebender, on the run.
