What in Agni's name is a vid-ee-oh-pho-nuh supposed to be, anyway?

[ zuko has no idea that the strange looking device he's holding up over his head and squinting at is the item in question. it's not his fault he has no concept of electronic communication, let alone electronics. his world has yet to hit a true industrial age. "advanced technology" in his day and age involves fires, steam, and bending, not... whatever this is supposed to be.

useless β€” that's what zuko decides it is. just a strange, mangled piece of metal and glass.

he discards it, setting it against the roots of the tree he's propped up against, but it's still recording him as he draws the pamphlet back out of the box. the necklace glistens on his wrist where he's affixed it like some sort of beaded cuff as he unfolds it. ]

When will you learn then? [She snapped quickly and gave him a serious expression. The same expression she gave her team and the military force of Suna.]

If you lack something, you work hard to gain it. You stop at nothing until you have it. Take it from someone who was asked to run the moment she started to walk. When people did not respect me for being a girl and simply feared me because they feared my father, the strongest one from our country, I did everything to gain their respect. I didn't care if I came home every night with bruises, wounds and callouses. I did not care if all other girls played with dolls and I played with weapons. I needed to prove myself.

I became ruthless, I became strong, I did everything my father told me and did not stop there. Even when he had died long ago, I never stopped so I could become a strong leader to support my little brothers. I also listened to my mother, who instilled gentleness in me, so I still find joy in growing my plants and caring for my brothers.

Nothing is easy. But just because all odds are against you, it doesn't mean you have to stop trying. If people don't listen to you, make them listen. If you're problem is a lack of appreciation, find a way to exceed your own expectation. Your a prince, much is expected from you. And if you're a first born like I am, then more burden is placed on you. It is hard, but you need to meet all expectations and exceed it.
