Mai, I—

[Zuko has appeared on the plane by accident, which isn't too hard to imagine, given his penchant for disaster. He's dressed in his royal robes, near full-length shades of red and dark, but his fluffy dark hair is down and hanging rather messily (if not cutely) around his face. He stares at the stars around him openly, gaping sort of like a lionfish before something comes to him. In this state, the scarred eye looks somewhat reptilian... definitely kind of shocking upon first look.]

Is this the Spirit World? I've... never actually seen it, but that doesn't matter. Or maybe it's a trick... [cups his mouth and yells] Hello! Is anyone out there? Hello!?

So it's a prank. [He looks around a bit more, then realizes something important.] No door? No door? How am I -- nrrrgh, can't you see I was busy?!

AZULA!! What did you do?!

[Slides to the right and raises a wall of rock to deflect the fire, sending another disk at Zuko in the same movement.]

[He avoids this one too, but only just barely— surprise, surprise, royal robes aren't made for SUDDEN COMBAT]

[Notices this--and gets an idea! Stomps the ground and drags her fingers downward, floating several spears of rock into the air. She flicks outward and the spears go flying at Zuko's sides. Hopefully they'll pin his robes to the ground and immobilize him.]

[osht! Zuko is pinned. He's trying to tear himself away but uh... this is royal fabric, and is way more durable than just any ordinary silk, since it's worn by the firebenders in the family. There's only one thing left to do... and he's not sure if it'll work.]

Ha! Gotcha now!

[Floats a big rock above her head.] Now go. Before I decide to pay you back, for Aang, and the Earth Kingdom, and Iroh.

[Zuko's look of defiance falters at that last name. Fine-- he's going.

But his robes are staying.

That might be a problem in Zukoverse, particularly when in mid-conversation with Mai.]

[LOL. Toph lowers her rock back to the ground, staring at the spot where Zuko just was.]

[Under her breath,] And don't come back.
