Hi friends! It's me again. You'll all be thrilled to hear that I had a great idea.

What is this idea, you ask? Well... I want to throw a feast! In my homeland they're a great way for people to come together, eat ourselves stupid, and make merry. We could all use some of that with everything that's been happening lately. The spring ball already feels like forever ago, and not everyone was here to enjoy it.

There's just a few simple rules: you have to bring some food or drink from your world, or as close as you can get! And you'd better label it so we all know which foods are from where. [...He's not actually going to enforce this rule, he just thinks it'd be more fun. And educational!]

The other rules are absolutely NO fighting, and no tying each other to trees to get attention, no matter how fun and cute it may seem on paper.

[he's naming no names!! you know who you are!]

I'll send out the location of the feast closer to the time. As for timing -- how about the last day of this moon? That way you have no excuse not to prepare something, and spread the word to people who are bad at using these things!

I'm counting on you all.

we'll need a lot of practice..

[ People who know him know him too well. First, Aurora tricked him into receiving cooking lessons by framing it as a "challenge" he was too intimidated to take on. Now he's loped into performing music publicly by a similar token?! Don't tell him "Prove it," that's how you get him to do things...! ]

You say that like I don't already. I'm good at accompaniments. I know my strengths. Why not come up with your own song and I'll play around you? That way it won't sound like either one of us is trying to get more attention than the other. Sound like a fair plan?

ugh i'll try
im no songwriter. you seem better at that.
we should just meet up and record ourselves improvising and if we like it then we can try to put it to paper and polish it
maybe uncle can help us...... he plays tsungi horn too

[ Aurora, look what you started, now Iroh's coming up. That was, uh, surprisingly easy to get both these boys on board, even while Zuko complains about being on board... ]

I've never been recorded. We'll see. We can hash this out in private, and if Claude is alright with us performing, then we will. If not, well, it can be our own project.

fine
im in
and if we suck
then..poor aurora's reputation.......

Hey, she only knew we could play. I never claimed to be good. If you ever did, that's on you.

never claimed to be good
but now i guess we have to get good..!

[ They’re totally good, they just have issues. Always. ]

then no one's reputation is at stake! No one claimed we were good. We're just two guys who will try their best and that's that. It's just background noise for the feast, anyways.

[No pressure, only he's definitely focusing way too hard on this now.]

[ No pressure? No pressure?! Zuko only knows pressure. ]

i guess youre right....
.....we're still gonna practice a lot though
just so you know

obviously

In which case, let me know when one of your practices is, since I inadvertently volunteered you, the least I could do is feed you.

Still so terribly humble.

They must really respect you to agree to it for your sake. What's your secret?

[spill the tea!!]

Obviously it's that she acts respectable. Aurora is kind and gentle and patient, and she treats others so well, it would be an injustice to treat her with less.

[She's always been willing to help him when he's needed it, and even if she weren't able to do anything, her presence and kind words has always meant a great deal.]

[She really couldn't have said it better, honestly.]

I- well thank you very much, Gokudera.

I suppose I try to treat everyone with respect and dignity and understanding, I may not always be successful, for whatever the reason may be, but I will always try.

Sounds like you're a very upstanding lady. Hopefully we can all show you the good time you deserve!

I do try to be, I suppose that is all anyone can hope to try to be.

Oh, Zuko, dear, please fret not with regards to my reputation. The valiant efforts of you both are proof enough I know you will both be amazing.

[ "Dear?" "Valiant...?!" These aren't words that go with tsungi horn in his mind. He can deal with valiant anyway, though. Not bad. ]

we're both out of practice.... but we'll do our best..

[ For you... ]

Thank you, truly. It means a lot to me you'll try your very best. But you know, you always do.

[ grjksnfd how can she do this to him so consistently
He literally shouts "I DO" at his phone out loud, but he's not typing that...

No, wait, yes, he is. ]

i do
i mean i try to
so does gokudera
we'll...... figure something out, aurora.

[Because she's always genuine, really.]

I have the utmost faith in both of you. But please let me know if I can help?

thanks..
maybe you can join us for practice sometime..

[ Zuko's offering himself up on the chopping block and he's taking you with him, Gokudera. ]

If you'd like me to, I will never say no.

ok...maybe not the first practice though, ha.
