[ Azula flashes a crudely drawn picture of Zuko across the screen. It's really just an over-exaggerated stick figure with some red crayon over an eye (possibly the wrong one), but it gets the job done enough for what she's about to do. ]

This is my poor, poor sick brother Zuko. We are in dire straits because we cannot afford his medical expenses, so I am asking all you good, kind-hearted people in the world to please send us some money to make sure he can get better.

I will put my information at the end of this video.

[ You can debate about how sincere this all was......., but she did her best sad and humble impression and she's had a lot of practice watching Zuko do it her whole life. Either way, she attaches whatever you need to send her cash directly. ]

Your brother looks a little thin. You should try feeding him~ He's practically two-dimensional.

[unstable]

Maybe after he's cured we can funnel some of the funds to plumping him up.

[sulit]

[She gives a snort of amusement in response. This seems like a pretty obvious scam, but at least this one sounds fun.]

Hmm. What exactly is wrong with him? Looks like some kind of unruly bug is stuck to his face. I can understand your distress.

I didn't realize Zuko was sick.

[He doesn't actually believe this mostly because he's seen this sort of scam before.

But his smile is perfectly serene and not even the slightest bit suspicious. His next offer seems completely genuine.]

I'm afraid I don't have much money but I am a healer if those services are required.

[He may or may not have heard a little about Zuko's prodigal sister from the boy himself.]

[unstable]

It's not necessarily just a physical ailment, although I genuinely appreciate the offer.

[ She doesn't appreciate it. ]

[kiss_it_better]

[Yes, Zuko's sister is very different from him indeed. He'd already guessed, but it's good to have it confirmed. And also to see how exactly they were different.

His smile doesn't change.]

Still, it wouldn't hurt for me to take a look, surely.

Zuko is sick? Ah, what are his symptoms? I would be more than happy to make him a healing tea or salve? I could also make you some food, if you like?

thanks aurora
food

[ He's not gonna turn free food down. But also... he's not gonna go against Azula. Even if she's lying and he's pissed about it. ]

[unstable]

I consider myself very articulate. If I wanted those things, I would have asked.

[ Hello Aurora. ]

Really? You could have at least took a picture and made it a bit more of a sell.

Or I show everyone a real picture and they run away in terror and I sell nothing. Because he's

[Aerith has spent so much time talking with Zuko and hearing about his family, that she feels like she almost knows them by association. She hasn't heard he was sick, however...]

Oh...
Is it something serious? I hope he'll be all right. I don't have much, but I'm sure I could find a way to help out.

[unstable]

I'm sure he'll be fine, Zuko is... persistent. Even in poor health, he'll figure out a way to come out on top.

Funny, he looked fine when we practiced yesterday.

Maybe you're the one he caught it from.

You really don't have a photo?

[That stick-man's still familiar... somehow.]

I thought the doodle was accurate enough.
