second flame [he's not having difficulties, really]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Zuko is sporting a slightly less emo hairstyle! Well... it's still emo, but at least you can see his eyes now. He's found himself a nice open spot behind the theater where hopefully no one will see him, or care. Instead of his robes, he's wearing a more casual tunic, though it's still made of nice material.

He glides through a few martial arts exercises, some punches and kicks, focusing. And then he lashes out with punches backed by fireballs, each dissolving into nothingness a few feet away from him. Everything about him says he's mastered this but he's still going, still practicing, almost to the point of exhaustion.]

Aaauuugh! Why can't I keep up with her?!

[He punches the ground. The resulting rush of fire actually propels Zuko backwards a few feet and he lands on his back. Hard.]

Stupid stupid stupid!

[OH HAI ZUKO. You're totally on her 'stalk' list. :| ]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Too busy kicking my own ass to care.]

[fireintothesky.livejournal.com]

[STALKS. GLARING.]

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

Trogdor?

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Zuko sits up. Not that annoying cat-thing again.] ... What?

[cyfor.livejournal.com]

[Pffft, even his thoughts are rude.] Trogdor. Burnination.

[The Doctor, for his part, is watching the entire thing from a safe distance.]

Oi, you alright there?

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

I'm fine.

[Zuko gets right back up and repeats the sequence flawlessly. But he's still pissed off, clearly.]

[doctorate.livejournal.com]

[Maintaining his distance still, for he does not want to be a crispy Doctor, but he's watching all of this with fascination.]

[nihao-nyan.livejournal.com]

Waste energy flailing like dying fish.

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

I don't need your opinion!

[nihao-nyan.livejournal.com]

Not opinion, fact.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it soon enough. [Lol, she thinks he's a newly-created stand user that isn't used to it yet~]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Ack. There are people watching him and saying nice things. HOW DID THIS HAPPEN.]

... I have to.

[allstrings.livejournal.com]

[XD! Sorry Zuko, Jolyne's had to deal with more aggravating people than you before~]

I can understand that. ...this is probably going to be a stupid question, but with things being so weird lately- you want a sparring partner?

[lamb_of_gold]

You are like Toph, then?

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[fdhsjklhf Sorry, Mu, not the best name to bring up. He swallows the rising bit of-- whatever that was.]

I'm not an Earthbender. [And he proves it by launching a few more fire punches into the air.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Had been watching because he was curious about the fire] Are you all right?

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Silly Shun, drawn to shiny things.]

I'm fine! [He gets up and goes through the sequence again.]

[ghostlighter]

[Watching from one of the crevices up along the theater's wall. The fire is worrying, but they're not regular balls and fire-manipulation can be a witch power too.] ... I'm really starting to wonder if anyone here is normal.

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Zuko heard that.]

Normal varies from person to person.

[contract_star]

[Lurking nearby, looking rather impressed but also wary. He still has a hard time not immediately assuming people with abilities are Contractors.]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[Zuko is way too emotional to be a Contractor. He finishes a set of punches and kicks, then rests where he is.] Still not fast enough... [He can feel Hei's eyes on him but he's not approaching him just yet or anything.]

[got-the-stones.livejournal.com]

[Is around the corner of the theater, "watching" him with her epic foot-seeing. She's glaring into space, but she makes no move to approach or attack Zuko.]

[firedprince.livejournal.com]

[He's not sure if he should attack the Earthbender either if he sees her. And that frustrates him to no end.]
