where are we even going????

[Hikaru is a rich little twig. There's only so much he can do.]

[rediscovering]

the training grounds

or the shores

or somewhere where there's nothing to set on fire

[irritated]

and you want me to wake up at sunrise??

[rediscovering]

yes!!! it should be natural to rise with the sun anyway!!

[irritated]

maybe where you come from but it's sick and unfair to make somebody do that where i'm from.

[rediscovering]

no way...... you're just being dramatic... right??

[ He's really not sure; it could be that culturally no one gets up at dawn where Hikaru's from — or it could just be that he's rich and has no motivation to. That's Zuko's bet, but he really... can't tell... ]

[irritated]

[If Hikaru wanted to get out of this, he could totally convince Zuko it's culturally insensitive to make Hikaru get up that early.

But damn it, he won't. Screw this being nice thing.]

no but nobody really does that. like you seriously don't ask people to wake up that early because nobody does it anymore.

[rediscovering]

your world seems so out of touch with nature its so weird and sad??


when do you usually get up, then.....?

[irritated]

yeah it's becoming a real social commentary.

but i don't know. whenever i wake up???

[rediscovering]

ok fine we'll train at noon......
youre kind of the one helping me after all....

sifu hikaru.

[irritated]

sifu better mean teacher

[He can use context clues here.]

[rediscovering]

yeah
its what you’d call the master who teaches you to bend

:).......

[ Thinking of Hikaru as a firebending master is hilarious to the fire prince, because oh man, it’s a cool and terrifying image of Hikaru trying to teach Aang or something. Just the thought of Hikaru firebending is amusing, really, and it makes him look forward even more to this training, amused but apprehensive, too. Zuko's getting experimental with his texting here, because how do you convey humor over text...? Apparently like that. It’s funny because he seldom smiles. That means it’s a joke, even if he’s not actually smiling when he texts a smiling emoticon, he’s learned recently. He’s getting the gist of modern things slowly, even if he’s maybe a little creepy and awkward and funny getting it. ]

[irritated]

[Look how far we've come. Hikaru knows what Zuko means by the smiley but ]

comes off kind of foreboding when you add all those ellipses after the smile

just saying

[rediscovering]

really?? oh.

:)...

[ Fixed it. Obviously. Or... just continuing to be foreboding. It’s not clear. Zuko’s a menace even when he doesn’t mean to be. ]

[irritated]

[Damn it, Zuko...]

just take out all the periods
