Summary
"I suppose I can't blame you," Mai says quietly.
Her bangs hide her eyes from his view. Her face is an impassive mask. Hurt reverberates through Zuko's chest. This isn't—no—
It's funny how you notice the absence of something. How you notice something only when it is gone from you.
How you notice the lack of air when you can't breathe anymore—
“For what?” he asks regardless. Her drawing up her walls and keeping him out hurts—but he doesn't even know where—and how—to begin addressing that. And as much as he knows her, which, these past days have revealed was not a lot—he thinks she's the same way. Conversations were always difficult for them.
But this is important.
So he sticks to what she's already stumbled her way into saying.
“I'd have come with you,” she says. “If you had asked. But I didn't think Ty Lee would come through for me either. So I can't really blame you for thinking the same of me.”
Or,
Zuko attempts to break Mai out of Boiling Rock.
